Arrow Definition

204 Shipment Tender 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 whenshipping 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 apickup notification, identifying the shipment details and dates for pick up. Most frequentlythe document is used as a Bill of Lading. the electronic format of this document isaccepted by the interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) as a legal document, providing apaper representation can be generated , if necessary.

210 Carrier Invoice The transaction set can be used to provide detail information for charges for servicesrendered by a motor carrier. It is used both as a motor carrier invoice to request paymentand as details pertaining to motor freight shipment(s) charges.

211 BOL Bill of Lading - A document issued to a carrier from the shipper for the receipt of goodsfor shipment, and which describes the terms of shipment. Acronym: BL, B/L (1997,Matthew D. Cox, [email protected]. ) This transaction set can be used toallow shippers or other parties, responsible for contracting with a motor carrier, to providea legal bill of lading for a shipment. It is not to be used to provide a motor carrier withdata relative to a load tender, pick-up manifest, or appointment scheduling.

212 Trailer Manifest This transaction set can be used to allow motor carriers to provide consignees or otherinterested parties with the contents of a trailer, containing multiple shipments, that hasbeen tendered for delivery. It is not to be used to provide the recipient with data relative toa full truckload shipment.

214 Shipment Status A shipment status message is generated regularly for a carrier's customers and transmittedon a scheduled basis. This message contains the current status of a single shipmentmoving within the carrier's system. the receiver would receive a separate status messagefor each shipment moving with the carrier. Depending upon partnership arrangements, theinformation can be generated for only delivery information, pickup and delivery, eachchange in status, or to report status at selected intervals regardless of change. The receiverof the information can use it in several ways. Customer service can provide immediate



18/24

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 carrierperformance along both specific routes and in general. Accounts receivable could use theinformation on the status message to generate an invoice for prepaid and add-freightcharges to customers, or to verify an internal freight rating system. (VICS EDIArchitectural Guide). This transaction set can be used by a transportation carrier toprovide shippers, consignees, and their agents with the status of shipments in terms of dates, times, locations, route, identifying numbers, and conveyance.

216 Pick-Up Notice This transaction set can be used to allow shippers or other interested parties to provide amotor carrier with notification that a shipment is available for pick-up. It is not to be usedto provide a motor carrier with data relative to a legal bill of lading, rating, pricing, orappointment scheduling.

810 Invoice An itemized list of product shipped specifying the quantity shipped, unit price, totalamount 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 andautomatically update applicable financial systems. The data contained in the InvoiceDocument provides automated cross-referencing of purchase order and receiving data.Once the invoice data has been verified and payment rendered, the information may bereformatted into a Payment Order/Remittance Advice (820) and may initiate theElectronic Funds Transfer (EFT) process. (VICS EDI Architectural Guide).

820 Carrier Payment The transaction set can be used to make a payment, send a remittance advice, or make apayment and send a remittance advice. This transaction set can be an order to a financialinstitution to make a payment to a payee. It can also be a remittance advice identifying thedetail needed to perform cash application to the payee's accounts receivable system. Theremittance advice can go directly from payer to payee, through a financial institution, orthrough a third party agent.

850 Purchase Order A purchase order is the information conveyed from a customer to a vendor initializing atransaction for goods or services. The Purchase Order (850) is sent from the buyer to the



19/24


Page 3 of 8


Arrow Definition

supplier to order product for shipment at a later date. 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 850 has two basic forms, thesimple Purchase Order and the spreadsheet Purchase Order. The simple purchase order isused to order product for one buying location with one ship-to destination. Thespreadsheet purchase order is used to order product for many different locations with aship-to destination for each location. A company wide buyer ordering product fordifferent store locations would typically use the spreadsheet purchase order. (VICS EDIArchitectural Guide)

856 Shipping Manifest The Ship Notice/Manifest (856) combines order and shipment information in oneelectronic document sent from the supplier to the buyer. Once executed, updatedinformation can then be communicated to inbound carriers, internal receivingdepartments, inventory control and outbound carriers. The key to success of the ShipNotice/Manifest (856) is "advanced" notice. Such information as bill of lading, cartonmarkings and contents, and carrier identification helps to speed the flow of merchandisethrough the pipeline. This information is used for receiving and inventory controlpurposes. (VICS EDI Architectural Guide)

920 Freight Claim This transaction set can be used to file a legal claim with a transportation carrier for lossor damage.

990 Response to Load Tender The Motor Carrier Shipment Information (204) transaction is generated by the shipper tothe carrier to let the carrier know there is a load available to pickup. Typically, this isexecuted in the truck Load (TL) environment. This transaction set can be used to respondto the load tender with either acceptance, conditional acceptance or declination of the loadtender. 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, conditionallyaccept, or decline a load tender as sent in the Motor Carrier Shipment Information (204)transaction set. (VICS EDI Architectural Guide)
