What Zappos expects in the 846

Zappos trades on X12 4010 over AS2. Beyond the base standard, watch these:

Cadencesize-level availability feeds — footwear sells by size, so report at the size/SKU grain
Accuracystale size positions cause oversells and cancellations

How EDISQ maps it

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

Common rejection reasons

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