What Ulta expects in the 855

Ulta trades on X12 4010 over AS2. Ulta's 855 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 855 spec before anything transmits.

How EDISQ maps it

The certified Ulta 855 map loads when you enable the partner — fields auto-map from NetSuite, QuickBooks, Dynamics, and 33 other systems, validation runs against Ulta's spec before transmission, and the sandbox replays Ulta test scenarios until everything passes.

Common rejection reasons

Nearly all 855 rejections trace to reference data, not syntax: identifiers that don't match Ulta's cross-references, echoed fields dropped from the original PO, or timing that misses the program window. EDISQ flags each before Ulta ever sees the document.
