What is MBM EDI?
MBM EDI is a Food & Beverage trading partner integration framework that automates the electronic exchange of procurement, fulfillment, shipping, and invoicing data between suppliers and MBM. It enforces X12 document validation, synchronized ship notice-to-barcode label alignment, packing slip consistency, and AS2 or VAN transport protocols to maintain compliance across the distribution chain.

Packing slip line details must match the shipped order and the electronic 856 notice.
