What Ace Hardware expects in the 864
Ace Hardware trades on X12 4010 over AS2. Beyond the base standard, watch these:
How EDISQ maps it
The certified Ace Hardware 864 map loads when you enable the partner — fields auto-map from NetSuite, QuickBooks, Dynamics, and 33 other systems, validation runs against Ace Hardware's spec before transmission, and the sandbox replays Ace Hardware test scenarios until everything passes.
Common rejection reasons
Nearly all 864 rejections trace to reference data, not syntax: identifiers that don't match Ace Hardware's cross-references, echoed fields dropped from the original PO, or timing that misses the program window. EDISQ flags each before Ace Hardware ever sees the document.
