Where Carlton Cards Suppliers Lose Money
Small EDI mistakes turn into late shipments, rejected ASNs, and invoice deductions.
01
What happens if an ASN is late?
Carlton Cards uses the 856 ASN to plan dock labor and receiving. If it arrives late or missing carton-level detail, your shipment may sit, be rejected, or trigger a deduction. Timely ASN submission protects your vendor scorecard.
02
Why do invoices get rejected?
An 810 invoice must match the original 850 purchase order and 856 ASN data. Mismatched PO numbers, quantities, or unit prices cause posting delays and payment holds. Carlton Cards vendor chargeback prevention starts with clean invoice alignment.
03
Are GS1-128 labels mandatory?
Yes. Carlton Cards DCs expect scannable GS1-128 carton labels tied to the ASN. A missing or unreadable barcode can stop receiving and lead to per-carton chargebacks.

COMPLIANCE SCRUBBING
Validate Every Carlton Cards Document Before It Leaves Your System
Before any 850, 855, 856, or 810 is transmitted to Carlton Cards, our platform checks segment structure, mandatory fields, reference numbers, and GS1-128 carton label alignment. This pre-transmission scrubbing catches mismatched POs, missing ship notices, and invoice discrepancies that often lead to receiving delays or deductions. We connect this validation layer to your back-office systems through ERP Integration Solutions so data stays consistent from order intake to payment posting.
