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, [email protected]. ) 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

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

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 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. (VICS EDI Architectural Guide)
