Most compliance issues happen when business operations and EDI mapping are handled separately.
Misaligned segment loops in 875 cause immediate rejection, delaying replenishment and risking shelf gaps.
Inaccurate 880/810 invoices trigger deductions and lengthy dispute resolution cycles with IGA.
Unstable AS2 sessions lead to missed transmission windows, violating IGA’s routing compliance rules.
