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