The Woolworths 850 Purchase Order, explained

What Woolworths expects in the 850

Woolworths trades on X12 4010 / EDIFACT over AS2. Beyond the base standard, watch these:

How EDISQ maps it

The certified Woolworths 850 map loads when you enable the partner — fields auto-map from NetSuite, QuickBooks, Dynamics, and 33 other systems, validation runs against Woolworths's spec before transmission, and the sandbox replays Woolworths test scenarios until everything passes.

Common rejection reasons

Nearly all 850 rejections trace to reference data, not syntax: identifiers that don't match Woolworths's cross-references, echoed fields dropped from the original PO, or timing that misses the program window. EDISQ flags each before Woolworths ever sees the document.
