Keep record IDs connected
Map routing request, purchase order and ready-to-ship date. 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.

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