What Walmart expects in the 852
Walmart trades on X12 5010 over AS2. Walmart's 852 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 852 spec before anything transmits.
How EDISQ maps it
The certified Walmart 852 map loads when you enable the partner — fields auto-map from NetSuite, QuickBooks, Dynamics, and 33 other systems, validation runs against Walmart's spec before transmission, and the sandbox replays Walmart test scenarios until everything passes.
Common rejection reasons
Nearly all 852 rejections trace to reference data, not syntax: identifiers that don't match Walmart's cross-references, echoed fields dropped from the original PO, or timing that misses the program window. EDISQ flags each before Walmart ever sees the document.
