Where does Cdw EDI compliance typically break down?
Most compliance issues occur when order data mismatches between Cdw’s portal and supplier’s warehouse systems.
Physical carton details must perfectly mirror the 856 ASN; any mismatch halts receiving and incurs compliance fines.
Cdw requires timely 855 responses; failure to confirm orders within the deadline can void the purchase order entirely.
