What Coles Supermarkets expects in the 855

Coles Supermarkets trades on X12 4010 / EDIFACT over AS2. Coles Supermarkets's 855 follows the standard X12 layout — no partner-specific companion-guide quirks are curated for this document yet. The certified base map covers the standard requirements, and validation still runs against the 855 spec before anything transmits.

How EDISQ maps it

The certified Coles Supermarkets 855 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 855 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.
