X12 856 Ship Notice/Manifest

X12 Release 4010

This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Ship Notice/Manifest Transaction Set (856) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. The transaction set can be used to list the contents of a shipment of goods as well as additional information relating to the shipment, such as order information, product description, physical characteristics, type of packaging, marking, carrier information, and configuration of goods within the transportation equipment. The transaction set enables the sender to describe the contents and configuration of a shipment in various levels of detail and provides an ordered flexibility to convey information.

The sender of this transaction is the organization responsible for detailing and communicating the contents of a shipment, or shipments, to one or more receivers of the transaction set. The receiver of this transaction set can be any organization having an interest in the contents of a shipment or information about the contents of a shipment.

Notes:

PLEASE REFERENCE 1 PO PER 856 TRANSACTION SET (ST-SE ENVELOPE). THE 856 SHOULD BE SENT THE SAME DAY THE ORDER IS SHIPPED. MAKE SURE ALL SHIP QUANTITIES ON THE 856 ARE IN THE SAME "UNIT OF MEASURE" AS THEY ARE ON THE PURCHASE ORDER.
*** 856'S, INVOICES, CREDITS AND 997'S MUST BE SENT IN SEPARATE ENVELOPES
*** MAKE SURE YOU ARE SENDING ALL MANDATORY INFORMATION IN CORRECT ELEMENTS.
*** 856'S ARE REQUIRED ON ALL RSC PO'S
*** GS1 128 PALLET OR CARTON ID'S REQUIRED FOR ALL RSC TYPE ASN'S ONLY
