Keep record IDs connected
Map routing reference, order and shipment. Confirm qualifiers, code lists, units and date/time meaning against the agreed X12 version and Amazon guide. Preserve the source reference alongside any new destination identifier.

Run the failure cases in the mapping table against realistic routing instruction data. Check how the receiving system reports a rejection and how your team corrects it without creating a duplicate.
