Why do Sony ASN rejections happen despite correct EDI syntax?
Mismatched carton labels or packing slip data cause physical receipt failures even when digital files are valid.
How does ERP integration affect Sony order fulfillment accuracy?
Disconnected ERP systems lead to inventory oversells or delayed 855 acknowledgments, triggering compliance penalties.
