Critical Chargeback & Import Pitfalls We Prevent
Common EDI mistakes that trigger $250+ retailer fines or accounting balance errors
Broken HL02 Parent Pointers in Hand-Built ASNs
Risk: Immediate 997 / 824 RejectionEvery HL segment must reference its exact parent HL01 ID (Item -> Pack -> Tare -> Order -> Shipment).
Mismatched MAN*GM Barcode vs Physical Carton Label
Risk: $250+ Per Carton FineGenerating an 856 ASN in one tool and printing barcode labels in another often causes SSCC-18 sequence drift.
Invalid Modulo 10 Check Digit on MAN*GM
Risk: Receiving Dock RejectionGuessing the 20th digit of MAN*GM*00... causes laser scanners at Walmart/Target DCs to fail.
