What Famous Footwear expects in the 997

Famous Footwear trades on X12 4010 over AS2. Famous Footwear'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 Famous Footwear 997 map loads when you enable the partner — fields auto-map from NetSuite, QuickBooks, Dynamics, and 33 other systems, validation runs against Famous Footwear's spec before transmission, and the sandbox replays Famous Footwear test scenarios until everything passes.

Common rejection reasons

Nearly all 997 rejections trace to reference data, not syntax: identifiers that don't match Famous Footwear's cross-references, echoed fields dropped from the original PO, or timing that misses the program window. EDISQ flags each before Famous Footwear ever sees the document.
