Operational Focus
Where do LCBO EDI compliance efforts typically stall?
Most LCBO compliance failures stem from mismatched 875 data fields and delayed ASN label generation.
01
Why do 875 purchase orders get rejected?
Missing or incorrect product identifiers in the 875 EDI segment cause immediate rejection by LCBO’s validation system.
02
How do ASN label errors cause chargebacks?
Inconsistent barcode data between the 856 ASN and physical carton labels triggers LCBO’s automated non-compliance penalties.
03
What causes communication failures with LCBO?
Incorrect AS2 certificate configurations or VAN routing errors disrupt the secure transmission of invoices and ship notices.
