Where does Michael Kors EDI compliance usually break down?
Most compliance issues arise when catalog data mismatches and label formatting are handled separately.
If carton labels don't match the 856 ASN data, shipments are refused at the distribution center, leading to financial penalties.
Delayed or inaccurate quantity updates disrupt replenishment and can result in lost sales opportunities for both parties.
