What Lowes expects in the 855
Lowes trades on X12 4010 over AS2. Lowes's 855 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 855 spec before anything transmits.
How EDISQ maps it
The certified Lowes 855 map loads when you enable the partner — fields auto-map from NetSuite, QuickBooks, Dynamics, and 33 other systems, validation runs against Lowes's spec before transmission, and the sandbox replays Lowes test scenarios until everything passes.
Common rejection reasons
Nearly all 855 rejections trace to reference data, not syntax: identifiers that don't match Lowes's cross-references, echoed fields dropped from the original PO, or timing that misses the program window. EDISQ flags each before Lowes ever sees the document.
