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.

Usage notes

User Note 1: This segment, used alone, provides the most efficient method of providing organizational identification. To obtain this efficiency the "ID Code" (N104) must provide a key to the table maintained by the transaction processing party.

All Item Level information on document must have Shipped From the address specified in the N1 Loop. If multiple
Ship From locations are required for a shipment, there should be multiple 856 documents sent so each can refer
to one Ship From location.
You may receive an error notice stating VENDOR LOCATION IS NOT CORRECT if this value fails Fastenal
validation, and we ask that you correct your process for future transmissions.
