What Sherwin Williams expects in the 997

Sherwin Williams trades on X12 4010 over AS2. Sherwin Williams's 997 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 997 spec before anything transmits.

How EDISQ maps it

The certified Sherwin Williams 997 map loads when you enable the partner — fields auto-map from NetSuite, QuickBooks, Dynamics, and 33 other systems, validation runs against Sherwin Williams's spec before transmission, and the sandbox replays Sherwin Williams test scenarios until everything passes.

Common rejection reasons

Nearly all 997 rejections trace to reference data, not syntax: identifiers that don't match Sherwin Williams's cross-references, echoed fields dropped from the original PO, or timing that misses the program window. EDISQ flags each before Sherwin Williams ever sees the document.
