What Dollar General expects in the 997
Dollar General trades on X12 4010 over AS2. Dollar General's 997 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 997 spec before anything transmits.
How EDISQ maps it
The certified Dollar General 997 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 997 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.
