What Marshalls expects in the 856

Marshalls trades on X12 4010 over AS2. Beyond the base standard, watch these:

Accuracycarton contents must agree with packing list and ASN — audited at receiving
TimingASN precedes the DC appointment

How EDISQ maps it

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

Common rejection reasons

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