Critical Chargeback & Import Pitfalls We Prevent
Common EDI mistakes that trigger $250+ retailer fines or accounting balance errors
BIG04 Not Matching 850 BEG03 Verbatim
Risk: Orphan Invoice RejectionAdding prefixes like "PO#" inside BIG04 when BEG03 was just "4500991288" causes the retailer’s ERP lookup to fail.
Invoice Date (BIG01) Earlier Than Shipped Date (DTM*011)
Risk: 824 Date Logic RejectionRetailers reject 810 invoices dated prior to the physical ship date reported on the 856 ASN.
Duplicate BIG02 Invoice Numbers
Risk: AP Duplicate RejectEach 810 must have a unique BIG02 invoice number.
