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.

The purpose of a replacement ASN is to update the original ASN with the required corrections; whenever retransmitting the ASN as a revised document ensure that the BSN01 = 05 and the BSN02 = the same Shipment Number indicated on the original ASN transmission, a Unique ISA Ctrl number is also applied. Applying these changes to each ASN retransmission ensures that the ASN avoids any Duplicate ASN error that would occur when a duplicate carton is received within 365 days of the first carton identity, which is often the case when retransmitting a replacement ASN as an original.

BSN-05
1005
Hierarchical Structure Code
Required
Identifier (ID)

Code indicating the hierarchical application structure of a transaction set that utilizes the HL segment to define the structure of the transaction set

Usage notes

Burlington Stores requires the SOPI format for the ASN; shipment, order, pack (carton), and item (SKU). The ASN is therefore structured hierarchically with each of the 4 levels: shipment, order, pack (carton), and item (SKU).

Burlington Stores requires the HL segment at all levels, these must be named accordingly shipment, order, pack (carton), and item (SKU). At the shipment level, the HL segment marks the beginning of the shipment loop and may occur only once per transaction set; in other words, only one shipment is allowed per ASN, there can only be one HL03 = S

The shipment level specifies the details relative to the entire physical shipment and associated bill of lading. "Containment" is determined by the size of the trailer or container in other words, a maximum of one "containment" at the shipment level (one trailer or one container) is allowed per ASN

However, One or more orders can be included per shipment number.
One or more packs may be reported for each order.
One or more items may be reported for each pack.
Lastly, pack level data must be included in the ASN in order to report the contents of each shipping 'container' to the receiver so the contents of the carton/container are known throughout the receiving system and can be confirmed.

0001
Shipment, Order, Packaging, Item

Burlington Stores requires that all ASN'S must be in a pick pack / SOPI structure, vendor should use the '0001' qualifier in the BSN05 if available to them in their system. Sending the ASN in a 'pick and pack' structure as demonstrated in the SOPI structure (Shipment, Order, Package Item) will ensure prompt delivery of the ASN to internal system and greatly reduce the possibility of chargebacks.

Burlington Stores recognizes that a limited number of our vendors cannot use a pick pack / SOPI structure, under these limited circumstances, Burlington Stores does allows the '0001' or the '0002' qualifier if the shipment is direct to consumers, as would be the case for internet or web based orders that are initiated by the consumer. Vendor should plan to use the '0001' qualifier in the BSN05 if available to them in their system. Sending the ASN in a 'pick and pack' (0001) structure will ensure prompt delivery of the ASN to internal systems and greatly reduce the possibility of chargebacks.

0002
Shipment, Order, Item, Packaging

Burlington Stores allows the '0001' or the '0002' qualifier if the shipment is direct to consumers, as would be the case for internet or web based orders that are initiated by the consumer.

0004
Shipment, Order, Item

Burlington Stores uses the '0004' qualifier if the shipment is a warehouse or store shipments and is GOH (Goods on Hanger). GOH shipments destined for warehouse or store shipments do not always have a pack segment.

Usage notes

Burlington Stores requires the HL segment at the shipment level, the HL segment marks the beginning of the shipment loop and may occur only once per transaction set; in other words, only one shipment is allowed per ASN.

The shipment level specifies the details relative to the entire physical shipment and associated bill of lading. "Containment" is determined by the size of the trailer or container in other words, a maximum of one "containment unit" at the shipment level (one trailer or one container) is allowed per ASN.

Notes:
A 40' high cube container has an average weight limit of 62,942 lb (28,550 kg) and a volume of or 2,700 cubic feet (76.400 cubic meters).

ASN Notes:
Any shipment that exceeds the average weight limit of 62,942 lb (28,550 kg) and a volume of or 2,700 cubic feet (76.400 cubic meters) is indicative of a second shipment. The second shipment is going to be necessary or already has taken place therefore a second ASN becomes necessary to define the second shipment. If an ASN has already been sent and the shipment exceeds the average weight limit of 62,942 lb (28,550 kg) and a volume of or 2,700 cubic feet (76.400 cubic meters; A modification to adjust the first ASN will also be required as there are now 2 shipments with each shipment uniquely identified by an ASN.

The number expected is the encoded in 20-digit numerical representation of the GS1-128 barcode from the shipping label (license plate/SSCC/GS1-128) that was placed on the logistical unit. This is the 18-digit Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC) plus the Application Identifier (AI), in other words the entire 20-digit numerical representation of the barcode.

The Burlington Stores Bar Code Label Specifications and Release Notes can be found on this page: http://www.burlingtoncoatfactory.com/Vendors/EDI.aspx

Before a company can begin using a GS1-128 bar code, they must create the numbers that go inside the bar code. These numbers are called GS1 Identification Keys. The first step in building a GS1 Key is to obtain a GS1 Company Prefix from a GS1 Member Organization.

GS1 Company Prefixes are used by over 1 million companies worldwide as the basis for creating unique numbers to identify everything in the supply chain. To obtain a GS1 Company Prefix contact the GS1 Member Organization in your country.
