What Coles Supermarkets expects in the 850

Coles Supermarkets trades on X12 4010 / EDIFACT over AS2. Beyond the base standard, watch these:

DialectColes orders arrive as EDIFACT ORDERS; the mapping to your workflow is EDISQ's job, not yours
GLN/GTINGS1 identifiers throughout — locations as GLNs, items as GTINs

How EDISQ maps it

The certified Coles Supermarkets 850 map loads when you enable the partner — fields auto-map from NetSuite, QuickBooks, Dynamics, and 33 other systems, validation runs against Coles Supermarkets's spec before transmission, and the sandbox replays Coles Supermarkets test scenarios until everything passes.

Common rejection reasons

Nearly all 850 rejections trace to reference data, not syntax: identifiers that don't match Coles Supermarkets's cross-references, echoed fields dropped from the original PO, or timing that misses the program window. EDISQ flags each before Coles Supermarkets ever sees the document.
