Where does Nestle EDI compliance typically break down?
Most compliance issues happen when business operations and EDI mapping are handled separately.
When physical packing slip contents don't match the digital ASN 856, Nestle issues chargebacks for discrepancies.
Incorrect invoice totals or missing product identifiers that deviate from the purchase order data cause automatic deductions.
