What True Value expects in the 856

True Value trades on X12 4010 over VAN. Beyond the base standard, watch these:

TimingASN before the DC appointment
SN1shipped counts reconcile at receiving — update the ASN on shorts rather than surprising the DC

How EDISQ maps it

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

Common rejection reasons

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