How EDISQ connects to Sonoco

Sonoco trades standard X12 over AS2 or SFTP. EDISQ provisions the connection and registers your IDs at activation, and the base document maps load the moment you enable the partner:

1Enable Sonoco from the partner catalog — document maps load automatically.
2Cross-reference your data — vendor number, ship-to locations, item identifiers. The wizard flags anything missing.
3Run test scenarios in the sandbox — validated end-to-end before anything goes live.
