Most compliance issues arise when garment SKU data and labeling are not aligned with EDI document mapping.
Incorrect UCC-128 labels on cartons fail scan audits, triggering chargebacks and returns from retailers.
Multi-dimensional product data often maps incorrectly in the 850, causing PO changes that disrupt entire orders.
Late or missing ASN 856 transmissions after shipment create compliance fines and jeopardize vendor scorecards.
