[ SYSTEM_DIAGNOSTIC ]
Why Castle EDI compliance often stalls at shipment labeling?
Most compliance failures stem from disconnected barcode labels, packing slips, and ASN data.
Why are Castle's ASN and labels often mismatched?
Mismatched barcode labels trigger shipment rejections because the ASN data doesn't match physical carton markings and cause chargebacks.
How do incorrect purchase order acknowledgments cause delays?
Missing or inaccurate 855 responses confuse inventory and lead to manual interventions, stalling fulfillment cycles and increasing lead times.
What makes Castle invoice reconciliation difficult?
Non-compliant 810 invoices with incorrect pricing or quantities trigger automated payment holds and dispute cycles, leading to delayed payments.
