• Review the guidelines (link at bottom of page) and confirm you are mapping to send the correct X12 data elements consistent with our standards. Testing validations in Orderful match exactly what will be used in production.
• Send only production-ready test files — any “mocked-up” files must be identical in structure and content to what will be sent live after Go-Live.
• Contact your EDI Onboarding Specialist at B2BOnboarding@kbx.global for questions or clarification on guidelines and testing scenarios.
