Pre-packmusical carton declarations matching the PO pack type
MANGS1-128 on every carton

How EDISQ maps it

The certified Finish Line 856 map loads when you enable the partner — fields auto-map from NetSuite, QuickBooks, Dynamics, and 33 other systems, validation runs against Finish Line's spec before transmission, and the sandbox replays Finish Line test scenarios until everything passes.

Common rejection reasons

Nearly all 856 rejections trace to reference data, not syntax: identifiers that don't match Finish Line's cross-references, echoed fields dropped from the original PO, or timing that misses the program window. EDISQ flags each before Finish Line ever sees the document.
