What Mark's expects in the 856 — the carton-level shipment mirror that must arrive before the freight does — and how EDISQ's certified map handles it from your ERP.

What Mark's expects in the 856

Mark's trades on X12 4010 over AS2. Beyond the base standard, watch these:

Pre-packcarton contents declared as packed — size-run cartons must match the PO's pack instructions
TimingASN filed before the DC sees the freight

How EDISQ maps it

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

Common rejection reasons

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