How EDISQ maps it
The certified Academy Sports 850 map loads when you enable the partner — fields auto-map from NetSuite, QuickBooks, Dynamics, and 33 other systems, validation runs against Academy Sports's spec before transmission, and the sandbox replays Academy Sports test scenarios until everything passes.
Common rejection reasons
Nearly all 850 rejections trace to reference data, not syntax: identifiers that don't match Academy Sports's cross-references, echoed fields dropped from the original PO, or timing that misses the program window. EDISQ flags each before Academy Sports ever sees the document.
