Most compliance issues happen when business operations and EDI mapping are handled separately.
Invoice accuracy and chargeback prevention?
Discrepancies between PO and invoice data often lead to payment deductions and audit risks.

VALIDATION ENGINE
Validate Sunsource
EDI in Minutes
Sunsource demands perfection—from GS1-128 barcode labels on every carton to branded packing slips that match their DSV requirements. Cogential IT's validation engine doesn't just check syntax; it simulates Sunsource's own acceptance logic, flagging missing segments, invalid qualifiers, or barcode mismatches in real time. You'll see exactly what would have been rejected, with actionable insights to fix it before transmission. The result? A 99.9% first-pass acceptance rate and a permanent end to chargeback disputes.
-
Real-Time Business Rule ValidationOur engine applies Sunsource's unique compliance rules to every EDI 850, 810, and 820, instantly flagging anything that would trigger a rejection or chargeback.
-
GS1-128 Barcode VerificationWe validate that your barcode data aligns perfectly with Sunsource's GS1-128 requirements, ensuring every carton scans correctly at their receiving dock.
-
Branded Packing Slip & DSV ComplianceCogential IT generates and validates branded packing slips that meet Sunsource's DSV specifications, eliminating manual formatting errors and shipment delays.
-
