What B&H Photo expects in the 850
B&H Photo trades on X12 4010 over AS2. Beyond the base standard, watch these:
How EDISQ maps it
The certified B&H Photo 850 map loads when you enable the partner — fields auto-map from NetSuite, QuickBooks, Dynamics, and 33 other systems, validation runs against B&H Photo's spec before transmission, and the sandbox replays B&H Photo test scenarios until everything passes.
Common rejection reasons
Nearly all 850 rejections trace to reference data, not syntax: identifiers that don't match B&H Photo's cross-references, echoed fields dropped from the original PO, or timing that misses the program window. EDISQ flags each before B&H Photo ever sees the document.
