Microsoft EDI Compliance

Where Microsoft compliance usually get stuck?

Most compliance issues happen when business operations and EDI mapping are handled separately.

01
Are your 850 POs mapped to Microsoft’s exact field requirements?

Incorrect segment mapping leads to order rejections and delays in the procurement cycle.

Fix Gap
02
Does your 856 ASN include all required carton-level details?

Missing hierarchical data causes shipment discrepancies and potential chargebacks.

Fix Gap
03
Is your AS2 connection tested for Microsoft’s certificate updates?

Expired certificates disrupt transmission, halting all EDI document flow.

Fix Gap

  • Direct-to-Consumer / DSV Packing Slips
