What Sam's Club expects in the 850

Sam's Club trades on X12 5010 over AS2. Beyond the base standard, watch these:

SDQclub-level distribution quantities arrive in SDQ segments — explode to club ship-tos before allocation
REF*IAWalmart-family internal vendor number must round-trip on every downstream document
DTMMABD (must-arrive-by date) drives the OTIF clock, not the ship date

How EDISQ maps it

The certified Sam's Club 850 map loads when you enable the partner — fields auto-map from NetSuite, QuickBooks, Dynamics, and 33 other systems, validation runs against Sam's Club's spec before transmission, and the sandbox replays Sam's Club test scenarios until everything passes.

Common rejection reasons

Nearly all 850 rejections trace to reference data, not syntax: identifiers that don't match Sam's Club's cross-references, echoed fields dropped from the original PO, or timing that misses the program window. EDISQ flags each before Sam's Club ever sees the document.
