What Wayfair expects in the 846

Wayfair trades on X12 4010 over API + AS2. Beyond the base standard, watch these:

Cadenceinventory feeds run on a fixed schedule — stale positions suppress listings and cause oversells charged to you
Granularityreport by warehouse so lead-time promises stay accurate

How EDISQ maps it

The certified Wayfair 846 map loads when you enable the partner — fields auto-map from NetSuite, QuickBooks, Dynamics, and 33 other systems, validation runs against Wayfair's spec before transmission, and the sandbox replays Wayfair test scenarios until everything passes.

Common rejection reasons

Nearly all 846 rejections trace to reference data, not syntax: identifiers that don't match Wayfair's cross-references, echoed fields dropped from the original PO, or timing that misses the program window. EDISQ flags each before Wayfair ever sees the document.
