Field mapping table: which EDI segment fills which column (for IT & bookkeepers)

EDI 856 ASN to 4x6" GS1-128 Nine-Zone Label Layout Mapping

Deterministic segment-to-column mapping rules enforced by our client-side X12 engine

Source X12 Segment / Element	Sample Raw Value	Target ERP / CSV Column	Transformation & Validation Logic
N1SF & N1ST (N3/N4)	TARGET REGIONAL DC 0555	Zone A (FROM) & Zone B (TO)	Prints ship-from warehouse and bold ship-to DC code & street address at the top of the 4x6 label.
N403 (Ship-To Zip)	76065	Zone C: (420) Postal Barcode	Encodes AI (420) + 5-digit ZIP using bwip-js gs1-128 with implicit FNC1.
TD503 & REFBM / REFCN	ODFL / BOL-99887766	Zone D: Carrier & BOL Info	Displays Carrier SCAC, Bill of Lading #, and PRO/Tracking #.
MAN*GM (20 Digits)	00006141410000010004	Zone I: (00) SSCC-18 Master Barcode	Renders 1.25" tall GS1-128 barcode with >= 0.25" quiet zones and Modulo 10 verification.

Critical Chargeback & Import Pitfalls We Prevent

Common EDI mistakes that trigger $250+ retailer fines or accounting balance errors

Using Standard Code 128 Instead of True GS1-128 (Missing FNC1)

Risk: $250–$500 Per Shipment Fine

Generic barcode libraries like JsBarcode render plain Code 128 without the mandatory FNC1 (]C1) prefix, causing warehouse laser scanners to reject every box.

EDIParse uses bwip-js with bcid: "gs1-128" to inject authentic Start C + FNC1 control codes.

Cropped Quiet Zones on 4x6 Thermal Stock

Risk: Unscannable Barcode Penalty

Printing a 20-digit SSCC-18 barcode too wide crowds out the mandatory 0.25-inch white margin on left and right.

Our 288pt × 432pt PDF layout enforces strict 24pt quiet zones on both sides of Zone I.

Out-of-Sync MAN*GM vs Physical Label

Risk: ASN Mismatch Chargeback

If carton #1 in your 856 ASN lists SSCC ...10004 but the sticker on the box says ...10011, the DC flags the entire pallet.

We extract MAN*GM directly from your 856 HL Pack nodes so the PDF matches your EDI file 100%.

Frequently Asked Technical Questions

ANSI X12 specification details, retail companion rules, and ERP import answers

Are these labels compatible with Zebra, Rollo, and Dymo 4XL 4x6 printers?

Yes. The PDF page size is set to exactly 4 inches × 6 inches (288pt × 432pt) with vector text and high-resolution monochrome GS1-128 barcodes.

What if I only have an 850 Purchase Order and not an 856 ASN yet?

Drop your 850 PO into the workbench and click the Turnaround button—it will generate both the compliant 856 ASN and the matching 4x6" GS1-128 labels simultaneously.
