How EDISQ maps it
The certified Dot Foods 846 map loads when you enable the partner — fields auto-map from NetSuite, QuickBooks, Dynamics, and 33 other systems, validation runs against Dot Foods's spec before transmission, and the sandbox replays Dot Foods test scenarios until everything passes.
Common rejection reasons
Nearly all 846 rejections trace to reference data, not syntax: identifiers that don't match Dot Foods's cross-references, echoed fields dropped from the original PO, or timing that misses the program window. EDISQ flags each before Dot Foods ever sees the document.
