X12 856 Ship Notice/Manifest

X12 Release 4040

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.

HL Loop Item
OptionalMax >1
Usage notes

The HLI (Item) loop is used to indicate item information. For Pick and Pack, the HLI loop is nested in the below hierarchical structures. If the optional HLT and optional HLP loops are absent the HLI is nested directly under the HLO and becomes the largest handling unit. This would indicate the item not containerized which would be rare.

The HLI loop is required in the Pick and Pack structure.

Usage notes

The HLI (Item) loop is used to indicate item information. For Pick and Pack, the HLI loop is nested in the below hierarchical structures. If the optional HLT and optional HLP loops are absent the HLI is nested directly under the HLO and becomes the largest handling unit. This would indicate the item not containerized which would be rare.

HL Loop Item
RequiredMax >1
Usage notes

The HLI (Item) loop is used to indicate item information. For Pick and Pack, the HLI loop is nested in the below hierarchical structures. If the optional HLT and optional HLP loops are absent the HLI is nested directly under the HLO and becomes the largest handling unit. This would indicate the item not containerized which would be rare.

The HLI loop is required in the Pick and Pack structure.

Hierarchical Level

RequiredMax use 1

Hierarchical ID Number
Required
String (AN)
Min 1Max 12

A unique number assigned by the sender to identify a particular data segment in a hierarchical structure

  • HL01 shall contain a unique alphanumeric number for each occurrence of the HL segment in the transaction set. For example, HL01 could be used to indicate the number of occurrences of the HL segment, in which case the value of HL01 would be "1" for the initial HL segment and would be incremented by one in each subsequent HL segment within the transaction.
HL-02

Required
Identifier (ID)

Code defining the characteristic of a level in a hierarchical structure

  • HL03 indicates the context of the series of segments following the current HL segment up to the next occurrence of an HL segment in the transaction. For example, HL03 is used to indicate that subsequent segments in the HL loop form a logical grouping of data referring to shipment, order, or item-level information.

Marks and Numbers

OptionalMax use >1

To indicate identifying marks and numbers for shipping containers

Usage notes

When the highest handling unit is a loose line item (not containerized), the HLI MAN is required to convey the License Plate number.

Example:
HL83I
LIN
1BPG20170-1616PL22MFJ56
SN1*1EA
MANAI00106862260024599671

For DC shipments a License Plate with a scannable barcode number on the physical loose line item is required.

For store shipments the physical pallet License Plate on the physical loose line item is optional.

Example
MAN-01
88
Marks and Numbers Qualifier
Required
Identifier (ID)

Code specifying the application or source of Marks and Numbers (87)

  • MAN01/MAN02 and MAN04/MAN05 may be used to identify two different marks and numbers assigned to the same physical container.
  • When MAN01 contains code "UC" (U.P.C. Shipping Container Code) and MAN05/MAN06 contain a range of ID numbers, MAN03 is not used. The reason for this is that the U.P.C. Shipping Container code is the same on every carton that is represented in the range in MAN05/MAN06.

This number should be a unique identifier for the handling unit, in human readable text, with a field length up to 18 characters plus 2 leading 0's indicating the Serial Shipping Container Code.

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

If there is a loose Item on the Shipment, the scannable barcode number will be used.
