What London Drugs expects in the 856
London Drugs trades on X12 4010 over AS2. London Drugs's 856 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 856 spec before anything transmits.
How EDISQ maps it
The certified London Drugs 856 map loads when you enable the partner — fields auto-map from NetSuite, QuickBooks, Dynamics, and 33 other systems, validation runs against London Drugs's spec before transmission, and the sandbox replays London Drugs test scenarios until everything passes.
Common rejection reasons
Nearly all 856 rejections trace to reference data, not syntax: identifiers that don't match London Drugs's cross-references, echoed fields dropped from the original PO, or timing that misses the program window. EDISQ flags each before London Drugs ever sees the document.
