X12 856 Retail Ship Notice/Manifest (V3)

X12 Release 5010

This X12 Transaction Set 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.

For multi carton small parcel shipments, it is required to provide the carrier tracking number per package.The tracking number needs to be unique per package and can't be reused from previous ASN's.

For single carton small parcel shipments (carton count = 1), the Air/PRO/TrackingNumber is not required at the Package level if it's present at the Shipment level.

It is not required to provide this segment and package level tracking for LTL/ TL shipments, as long as tracking exists at the shipment level.

Usage notes

Please refer to the Business Requirement Document for the specific locale you are sending a shipment to.

This section is needed if you can provide pallet level carton count and pallet weight details. The number of cartons (CTN) mentioned in the TD102 element refers to the count of shipping cartons/ packages in the pallet (not the packaged items inside the cartons).

If the vendor provides Tare Level information with SSCC and Pack Level (with/without SSCC) Amazon will treat the Pack level as Cartons, even if the vendor does not declare the TD1 on Pack level.
