X12 214 Shipment Status Update

X12 Release 4010

This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Transportation Carrier Shipment Status Message Transaction Set (214) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. This transaction set can be used by a transportation carrier to provide shippers, consignees, and their agents with the status of shipments in terms of dates, times, locations, route, identifying numbers, and conveyance.

Event Reason- Use the AT7 01 for the actual event and the AT7 02 NS qualifier Appointment- Use the AT7 03 for the actual event and the AT7 04 NA qualifier

Example
If either Shipment Status Code (AT7-01) or Shipment Status or Appointment Reason Code (AT7-02) is present, then the other is required

Usage notes

At a minimum the carrier must be able to support the AF (Pick Up) and D1 (Delivered) status codes. If you are unable to support either of these status codes contact Ryder EDI so that you may be implemented on Ryder's web enabled tendering and status update applications.
The D1 and AF status codes are to be used for the actual event. These two code events are to be used to record the actual event day and time and will be used to update Ryder's tracking site accordingly.
