Where does Source Medical compliance usually get stuck?
Most compliance issues happen when business operations and EDI mapping are handled separately.
Is your 810 invoice data aligned with the PO acknowledgment?
Invoice discrepancies against the 855 acknowledgment lead to payment delays and compliance deductions.
Does your ERP system correctly map Source Medical’s 850 purchase orders?
Incorrect mapping of healthcare-specific fields in the 850 can trigger order rejections and manual rework.
