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.

Item Physical Details

OptionalMax use 1

To specify the physical qualities, packaging, weights, and dimensions relating to the item

Usage notes

The segment is used to specify the packaging of the item in the case or carton. There may be two levels of packaging specified. The first level is always specified by using PO401 (Pack). The first level may be actual items, e.g., consumer units, or it may be the number of smaller containers
within the case. The second level, specified using PO414 (Inner Pack), is the number of eaches in each inner container when PO401 is the number of smaller containers within the case.
If the BSN05 = 0001 and only one upc is packed per carton, then the PO401 and the SN102 will be the same value.
The PO401 should contain the same casepack value that is sent in the 850 Purchase Order under the PO401 and it should also reflect the casepack in the shipment. If the PO401 in the 850 Purchase Order does not match the casepack in the shipment, contact Vendor Relations
VendorRelationsComplianceTeam@dcsg.com

Item Physical Details

RequiredMax use 1

To specify the physical qualities, packaging, weights, and dimensions relating to the item

Usage notes

The segment is used to specify the packaging of the item in the case or carton. There may be two levels of packaging specified. The first level is always specified by using PO401 (Pack). The first level may be actual items, e.g., consumer units, or it may be the number of smaller containers
within the case. The second level, specified using PO414 (Inner Pack), is the number of eaches in each inner container when PO401 is the number of smaller containers within the case.
If the BSN05 = 0001 and only one upc is packed per carton, then the PO401 and the SN102 will be the same value.
The PO401 should contain the same casepack value that is sent in the 850 Purchase Order under the PO401 and it should also reflect the casepack in the shipment. If the PO401 in the 850 Purchase Order does not match the casepack in the shipment, contact Vendor Relations
