Logistics Model Definitions

Arrow Name (Input, Output, Control or Mechanism) 204 Shipment Tender
Arrow Definition A shipment tender is generated from the shipper to the carrier, consignee or a third party to let him know there is a shipment available for pickup. This is typically done when shipping with a truckload carrier (TL), where the shipment can be scheduled in advance, as opposed to a less than truckload (LTL) shipment. the document can also be used as a pickup notification, identifying the shipment details and dates for pick up. Most frequently the document is used as a Bill of Lading. the electronic format of this document is accepted by the interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) as a legal document, providing a paper representation can be generated , if necessary. The transaction set can be used to provide detail information for charges for services rendered by a motor carrier. It is used both as a motor carrier invoice to request payment and as details pertaining to motor freight shipment(s) charges. Bill of Lading - A document issued to a carrier from the shipper for the receipt of goods for shipment, and which describes the terms of shipment. Acronym: BL, B/L (1997, Matthew D. Cox, logistics@logisticsworld.com. ) This transaction set can be used to allow shippers or other parties, responsible for contracting with a motor carrier, to provide a legal bill of lading for a shipment. It is not to be used to provide a motor carrier with data relative to a load tender, pick-up manifest, or appointment scheduling. This transaction set can be used to allow motor carriers to provide consignees or other interested parties with the contents of a trailer, containing multiple shipments, that has been tendered for delivery. It is not to be used to provide the recipient with data relative to a full truckload shipment. A shipment status message is generated regularly for a carrier's customers and transmitted on a scheduled basis. This message contains the current status of a single shipment moving within the carrier's system. the receiver would receive a separate status message for each shipment moving with the carrier. Depending upon partnership arrangements, the information can be generated for only delivery information, pickup and delivery, each change in status, or to report status at selected intervals regardless of change. The receiver of the information can use it in several ways. Customer service can provide immediate

Arrow Name (Input, Output, Control or Mechanism)
Arrow Definition shipment tracing by reviewing the current status and history of status for a specific Bill of Lading, or purchase order number. Traffic can use the information to review carrier performance along both specific routes and in general. Accounts receivable could use the information on the status message to generate an invoice for prepaid and add-freight charges to customers, or to verify an internal freight rating system. (VICS EDI Architectural Guide). 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. This transaction set can be used to allow shippers or other interested parties to provide a motor carrier with notification that a shipment is available for pick-up. It is not to be used to provide a motor carrier with data relative to a legal bill of lading, rating, pricing, or appointment scheduling. An itemized list of product shipped specifying the quantity shipped, unit price, total amount due, and terms on which the invoice will be paid. The Invoice Document, 810, is the EDI transaction. This document allows a buyer to record payment information and automatically update applicable financial systems. The data contained in the Invoice Document provides automated cross-referencing of purchase order and receiving data. Once the invoice data has been verified and payment rendered, the information may be reformatted into a Payment Order/Remittance Advice (820) and may initiate the Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) process. (VICS EDI Architectural Guide). The transaction set can be used to make a payment, send a remittance advice, or make a payment and send a remittance advice. This transaction set can be an order to a financial institution to make a payment to a payee. It can also be a remittance advice identifying the detail needed to perform cash application to the payee's accounts receivable system. The remittance advice can go directly from payer to payee, through a financial institution, or through a third party agent. A purchase order is the information conveyed from a customer to a vendor initializing a transaction for goods or services. The Purchase Order (850) is sent from the buyer to the

All the customary information included in a paper purchase order can be included in the EDI version, including terms, shipping instructions and other related information. The 850has two basic forms, the simple Purchase Order and the spreadsheet Purchase Order. The simple purchase order is used to order product for one buying location with one ship-to destination. The spreadsheet purchase order is used to order product for many different locations with a ship-to destination for each location. A company wide buyer ordering product for different store locations would typically use the spreadsheet purchase order. (VICS EDI Architectural Guide) The Ship Notice/Manifest (856) combines order and shipment information in one electronic document sent from the supplier to the buyer. Once executed, updated information can then be communicated to inbound carriers, internal receiving departments, inventory control and outbound carriers. The key to success of the Ship Notice/Manifest (856) is "advanced" notice. Such information as bill of lading, carton markings and contents, and carrier identification helps to speed the flow of merchandise through the pipeline. This information is used for receiving and inventory control purposes. (VICS EDI Architectural Guide) This transaction set can be used to file a legal claim with a transportation carrier for loss or damage. The Motor Carrier Shipment Information (204) transaction is generated by the shipper to the carrier to let the carrier know there is a load available to pickup. Typically, this is executed in the truck Load (TL) environment. This transaction set can be used to respond to the load tender with either acceptance, conditional acceptance or declination of the load tender. It can also provide the reasons for the declination and the conditions of acceptance. The Response to a Load Tender (990) is used by a motor carrier to accept, conditionally accept, or decline a load tender as sent in the Motor Carrier Shipment Information (204) transaction set.

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is defined as the computer-to-computer exchange of information, which has traditionally been communicated using paper documents. An EDI document is a collection of a specific set of business information to accomplish a business transaction, e.g. purchase order, invoice, etc. exchanged electronically in industry's standard format.

This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Motor Carrier Pick-up Manifest Transaction Set (215) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. This transaction set can be used to allow shippers, or other parties, to provide a motor carrier with a manifest of all of the shipments tendered to a carrier. It is not to be used to provide a motor carrier with data relative to a load tender, legal bill of lading, pick-up notification, or appointment scheduling. MFG provides information to the SPC that tells them how to come pick up the goods. Typically for small package it is a "fluid load". Mfg keeps feeding the staged trailer throughout the day. Driver picks it up. Mfg give them a copy of the manifest. and the 215 transmission takes place. The dock capacity, and the hours of operation when the dock is open for shipping.
