Where does National Distribution Center EDI compliance usually get stuck?

Most 3PL compliance failures happen when warehouse operations and EDI mapping are managed as separate workflows.

01
Do 945 shipping advices always match what actually shipped?

Quantity, carton, and carrier mismatches trigger rejections; we validate every 945 against the original 940 before release.

Resolve ?
02
Are 856 ASNs accurate across cartons, carriers, and line items?

Carton-level SSCC data, carrier details, and line quantities must align; our mapping engine validates each shipment automatically.

Resolve ?
03
Can inventory adjustments reach your ERP without manual keying?

947 adjustments and 943/944 stock transfers post directly into your ERP, keeping on-hand quantities accurate in real time.
