Where Dunhams Sports compliance usually gets stuck?
Most compliance issues occur when EDI maps don't match Dunhams' exact field requirements.
Incorrect 856 packing data triggers shipment rejections?
Dunhams requires accurate carton-level details; mismatched data leads to returns and fines.
Invoice discrepancies cause payment delays?
Failure to match 810 amounts with PO and ASN data stalls settlement and strains supplier relations.
Missing UCC-128 labels result in compliance violations?
Labels must follow GS1-128 specs and align with ASN data to avoid non-compliance penalties.
