Trader Joes trades on X12 4010 over SFTP. Beyond the base standard, watch these:
How EDISQ maps it
The certified Trader Joes 850 map loads when you enable the partner — fields auto-map from NetSuite, QuickBooks, Dynamics, and 33 other systems, validation runs against Trader Joes's spec before transmission, and the sandbox replays Trader Joes test scenarios until everything passes.
Common rejection reasons
Nearly all 850 rejections trace to reference data, not syntax: identifiers that don't match Trader Joes's cross-references, echoed fields dropped from the original PO, or timing that misses the program window. EDISQ flags each before Trader Joes ever sees the document.
