Most compliance issues happen when business operations and EDI mapping are handled separately.
Mismatched carton-level details between the 856 and actual labels trigger immediate chargebacks and shipment rejections.

Failure to process 860 change requests promptly leads to over-shipments or incorrect inventory allocation.
