X12 322 Terminal Operations and Intermodal Ramp Activity

X12 Release 4010

This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Terminal Operations and Intermodal Ramp Activity Transaction Set (322) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. The transaction set can be used to provide all the information necessary for a terminal operation, port authority or intermodal ramp to communicate terminal and intermodal ramp activities (e.g., "ingates" and "outgates") to authorized parties to a shipment.
