Where Fulfillment Express compliance usually gets stuck?
Most issues arise when warehouse actions and EDI documents are updated independently.
Delayed 945-to-856 handoffs create shipment visibility gaps that trigger partner chargebacks and missed delivery windows.
Static label templates and disconnected slip generation bypass current ASN carton and item details.
