What Do It Best expects in the 850

Do It Best trades on X12 4010 over AS2. Beyond the base standard, watch these:

SDQwarehouse orders aggregate member-store demand — SDQ segments carry the store split
DTMrequested ship dates follow the co-op's warehouse ordering cycles; missing a cycle means waiting for the next one

How EDISQ maps it

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

Common rejection reasons

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