Things like mismatched units of measure, failed ASNs, or having to fix the same data errors repeatedly. On their own, they seem small. But over time, they slow everything down — impacting shipments, creating extra work and frustrating your team.
A lot of businesses end up stuck in this cycle of reacting to problems instead of preventing them. That’s exactly what these latest updates from Vantree are meant to address.

What’s New
Here’s a quick look at what’s been added — and more importantly, what it helps fix.
862 & DEL now processed as inbound 830s
Demand changes quickly, especially if you’re dealing with multiple partners. With 862 and DEL documents now processed as inbound 830s, you get clearer scheduling data directly in Dynamics. That makes it a lot easier to plan production and deliveries without second-guessing the numbers. See it in action here.
UoM updates that happen automatically
Unit of Measure mismatches are one of the most common reasons ASNs get rejected. Instead of catching and fixing those manually, the ASN Item table now updates UoMs automatically. It’s a small change, but it saves a surprising amount of time and prevents unnecessary errors. This breakdown is worth a read if it’s something your team deals with often.
Better support for product variants
If you’re managing products with variations, you already know how messy EDI can get when item references don’t line up. With added support for variants across inbound and outbound documents (including 850s and JSON), those mismatches are much less likely to break transactions.
812 automation that’s easier to track
Adjustments and deductions tend to involve a lot of manual follow-up. Now, 812 status is tracked at the customer level, giving finance teams a clearer view of what’s happening without digging through multiple records.
Fix errors once, not over and over
One of the biggest frustrations with EDI is fixing the same issue repeatedly. With bulk updates and automatic item reference creation, missing data gets fixed during error correction — and doesn’t keep coming back. See the real-world results.
A Few More Practical Improvements
These updates are a bit more behind the scenes, but still make a difference day to day:
Multi-label support
In the ASN Builder, download your labels as a ZIP file or as a single PDF, depending on your workflow.
Item-level SSCC codes
With customer-level configuration to match the requirements of each trading partner.
New ASN Builder APIs
More flexibility to plug the ASN Builder into your own workflows and internal tools.
More accurate ASN packaging
Improved accuracy when packaging ASNs, to reduce rejections at receiving.
Shipping Agent & service codes captured
Shipping Agent and service codes are now pulled directly from inbound 850s.

Why This Matters
Most teams don’t struggle with EDI because they don’t understand it — they struggle because keeping it running smoothly requires too much manual effort.
The goal with these updates is simple:
Fewer avoidable errors
Eliminate the mismatches that cause rejections and delays at the source.
Less manual work
Cut down the time your team spends fixing the same issues over and over.
More reliable data
Make sure the information inside Dynamics is data your team can actually trust.
Better visibility
Give teams a clear view of operations without adding extra work.
If your current setup feels like it’s always one step behind, these kinds of improvements can make a noticeable difference pretty quickly.
