Order mapping errors between the 850 and 855 cause delayed confirmations and incorrect fulfillment expectations.

Where does General Cable compliance usually get stuck?
Most issues arise when purchase order logic, ship notice timing, and invoice validation are managed in separate systems.
Does the ship notice reach General Cable before delivery?
Late or inaccurate ASN data can trigger receiving delays, compliance chargebacks, and invoice reconciliation problems.
Are invoices reconciled with shipped purchase order quantities automatically?
Manual invoice matching against ASN and PO data increases disputes, payment delays, and audit exceptions for suppliers.
