Where does Draper Tools EDI compliance often stumble?
Most compliance issues happen when business operations and EDI mapping are handled separately.
If your ERP sends wrong unit measures or dates, Draper’s system rejects the EDI directly, halting orders.
Insecure or misconfigured AS2 connections risk data loss and missed 997 acknowledgments, stalling shipments.
