X12 856 Ship Notice/Manifest

X12 Release 4010

This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Ship Notice/Manifest Transaction Set (856) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. The transaction set can be used to list the contents of a shipment of goods as well as additional information relating to the shipment, such as order information, product description, physical characteristics, type of packaging, marking, carrier information, and configuration of goods within the transportation equipment. The transaction set enables the sender to describe the contents and configuration of a shipment in various levels of detail and provides an ordered flexibility to convey information.

The sender of this transaction is the organization responsible for detailing and communicating the contents of a shipment, or shipments, to one or more receivers of the transaction set. The receiver of this transaction set can be any organization having an interest in the contents of a shipment or information about the contents of a shipment.

To indicate identifying marks and numbers for shipping containers

Usage notes

This segment is used for loose line items only. Do not use for pallet or pack shipments.

If the HLT: and HLP loops are not used, use the HLI:MAN when the handling unit is a loose line item (not in a container).
This could be an oversized part such as a drum. In which case the label is applied directly. The scannable barcode LP number on the loose item will be used for receiving shipments.

Usage notes

This License Plate (LP) number should be a unique 20-digit identifier for the handling unit, in human-readable text, with a field length of 18 digits plus 2 leading 0's.

The scannable barcode LP number on the item will be used for receiving.

The LP number must be unique for at least 180 days after shipment.

HL Loop Item end
HL Loop Pack
OptionalMax >1
Usage notes

If all product in the shipment is resting on a pallet, the Pack HL is not required and should not be sent. If no pallet exists for some or all of the product under a PO, the pack is the highest handling unit for that product so the HLP is required and the HLP label ID will be used for receiving.

Each unique SKU/Item within the Tare or Pack HL (whichever is the highest handling unit) must be listed only once per handling unit and order number combination. For example, an item that is in multiple cartons and those cartons are on a pallet, must be listed only once. In this scenario, the ASN should include only the tare and not the pack level for this item.

Usage notes

This segment is used for carton (pack) shipment only. Do not use for pallet shipments.

Uses the HLP:MAN when the highest handling unit is a carton (no pallet).

The HLP:MAN barcode can repeat in the same 856 message when more than one order is loaded in the same carton.

When the HLT:MAN is absent and the HLP:MAN is used, the HLI:MAN will be ignored and should not be sent. If the HLT and HLP loops are not used, a HLI:MAN is required.

Each Purchase Order and Pack ID combination must be listed only once per ASN.

To indicate identifying marks and numbers for shipping containers

Usage notes

This segment is used for loose line items only. Do not use for pallet or pack shipments.

If the HLT: and HLP loops are not used, use the HLI:MAN when the handling unit is a loose line item (not in a container).
This could be an oversized part such as a drum. In which case the label is applied directly. The scannable barcode LP number on the loose item will be used for receiving shipments.

OptionalMax >1
Usage notes

(SOTPI) Only the highest handling unit level (Tare, in this scenario) will be used by AAP. For that reason, this format is not recommended and will be removed in future spec versions.

If all product in the shipment is resting on a pallet, the Pack HL is not required and should not be sent. If no pallet exists for some or all of the product under a PO, the pack is the highest handling unit for that product so the HLP is required and the HLP label ID will be used for receiving.

Each unique SKU/Item within the Tare or Pack HL (whichever is the highest handling unit) must be listed only once per handling unit and order number combination. For example, an item that is in multiple cartons and those cartons are on a pallet, must be listed only once. In this scenario, the ASN should include only the tare and not the pack level for this item.

Usage notes

This segment is used for loose line items only. Do not use for pallet or pack shipments.

If the HLT: and HLP loops are not used, use the HLI:MAN when the handling unit is a loose line item (not in a container).
This could be an oversized part such as a drum. In which case the label is applied directly. The scannable barcode LP number on the loose item will be used for receiving shipments.

The scannable barcode LP number on the item will be used for receiving.

The LP number must be unique for at least 180 days after shipment.

HL Loop Item end
HL Loop Pack
OptionalMax >1
Usage notes

If all product in the shipment is resting on a pallet, the Pack HL is not required and should not be sent. If no pallet exists for some or all of the product under a PO, the pack is the highest handling unit for that product so the HLP is required and the HLP label ID will be used for receiving.

Each unique SKU/Item within the Tare or Pack HL (whichever is the highest handling unit) must be listed only once per handling unit and order number combination. For example, an item that is in multiple cartons and those cartons are on a pallet, must be listed only once. In this scenario, the ASN should include only the tare and not the pack level for this item.

Usage notes

This License Plate (LP) number should be a unique 20-digit identifier for the handling unit, in human-readable text, with a field length of 18 digits plus 2 leading 0's.

The scannable barcode LP number on the item will be used for receiving.

The LP number must be unique for at least 180 days after shipment.

HL Loop Item end
HL Loop Pack
OptionalMax >1
Usage notes

(SEOTPI) Only the highest handling unit level (Tare, in this scenario) will be used by AAP. For that reason, this format is not recommended and will be removed in future spec versions.

If all product in the shipment is resting on a pallet, the Pack HL is not required and should not be sent. If no pallet exists for some or all of the product under a PO, the pack is the highest handling unit for that product so the HLP is required and the HLP label ID will be used for receiving.

Each unique SKU/Item within the Tare or Pack HL (whichever is the highest handling unit) must be listed only once per handling unit and order number combination. For example, an item that is in multiple cartons and those cartons are on a pallet, must be listed only once. In this scenario, the ASN should include only the tare and not the pack level for this item.

Usage notes

This segment is used for carton (pack) shipment only. Do not use for pallet shipments.

Uses the HLP:MAN when the highest handling unit is a carton (no pallet).

The HLP:MAN barcode can repeat in the same 856 message when more than one order is loaded in the same carton.

When the HLT:MAN is absent and the HLP:MAN is used, the HLI:MAN will be ignored and should not be sent. If the HLT and HLP loops are not used, a HLI:MAN is required.

Each Purchase Order and Pack ID combination must be listed only once per ASN.

Usage notes

This segment is used for loose line items only. Do not use for pallet or pack shipments.

If the HLT: and HLP loops are not used, use the HLI:MAN when the handling unit is a loose line item (not in a container).
This could be an oversized part such as a drum. In which case the label is applied directly. The scannable barcode LP number on the loose item will be used for receiving shipments.
