[ SYSTEM_DIAGNOSTIC ]
Where does Design Source International compliance usually break down?
Most chargebacks stem from mismatched packing slip data, ASN details, and physical carton labels.
Are your carton labels synced with the 856 ASN data?
Labels printed outside EDI workflows often show wrong carton quantities, triggering immediate chargebacks from Design Source International.
Is your packing slip data tied to the shipment?
A packing slip created from a non‑integrated system can list incorrect items, making the ASN unreliable and causing returns.
Does your ASN transmission fail under volume?
Without robust AS2 or VAN resilience, large shipment batches may lose messages, leading to dock rejections at the partner facility.

Purchase Order
Initiates the order cycle; data must be parsed and pushed into your ERP to trigger production planning.
Purchase Order Acknowledgment
Confirms acceptance or flags discrepancies; a delay here can suspend the entire order lifecycle.
Ship Notice/Manifest
Carries carton‑level detail; must precisely mirror physical labels to prevent receiving dock disputes.
Invoice
Requests payment; any mismatch with the ASN or PO can delay settlement and harm partner relationships.
