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.

Carrier Details (Routing Sequence/Transit Time)

RequiredMax use 12

To specify the carrier and sequence of routing and provide transit time information

Usage notes

TD503 Identification (Carrier Code) - this is the Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC). If you are using your own custom shipping methods, these are set-up on the "Shipment Settings" page in the portal, the Carrier Code will automatically populate based on the Class Code (TD505) submitted.

TD505 Routing (Class code) - This is the field that will be a combination of both SCAC and Service Level. If you map this to your partner's, the Carrier Code (TD503) and the Service Level Code (TD512) will automatically populate accordingly. This will allow you to only keep track of one code (Class Code) rather then 3.

TD512 Service Level Code (Service Level Code) - If you are using your own custom shipping methods, these are set-up on the "Shipment Settings" page in the portal, the Service Level Code (TD512) will automatically populate based on the Class Code (TD505) submitted.

Example
If Identification Code Qualifier (TD5-02) is present, then Identification Code (TD5-03) is required
