Most compliance issues happen when business operations and EDI mapping are handled separately.
Disconnected inventory data leads to stock-outs or overselling, violating REI's fulfillment SLAs and damaging supplier scorecards.
Unstable AS2 connections during high order periods cause missed transmissions, resulting in late shipments and non-compliance penalties.
