X12 856 Ship Notice/Manifest

X12 Release 5010

This X12 Transaction Set 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.

Usage notes

This segment contains Vendor Compliance Chargeback items

Marks and Numbers Information

OptionalMax use >1

To indicate identifying marks and numbers for shipping containers

Usage notes

Big Lots Usage: must be unique number; cannot be the same as other pallets/cartons in the same shipment.

When the shipping container is the same as the consumer unit, the U.P.C. may be the only GS1 identification code on the container. In many applications, it is necessary to positively identify what identification code is to be scanned and matched at point of receipt. Since the U.P.C. is not a
unique serial shipping container code, only one pack level for each item
is required when using the pick and pack structure. The total number of
shipping units for this item is the same as the quantity for the item in the
SN1 segment at the item level.

This segment is required for floor loaded shipments.

Examples:
MAN\UC\99999999999999~
MAN\GM\99999999999999999999~

Identifier (ID)

  • When MAN01 contains code "UC" (U.P.C. Shipping Container Code) and MAN05/MAN06 contain a range of ID numbers, MAN03 is not used. The reason for this is that the U.P.C. Shipping Container code is the same on every carton that is represented in the range in MAN05/MAN06.

Marks and Numbers Information

OptionalMax use >1

To indicate identifying marks and numbers for shipping containers

Usage notes

Big Lots Usage: must be unique number; cannot be the same as other pallets/cartons in the same shipment.

When the shipping container is the same as the consumer unit, the U.P.C. may be the only GS1 identification code on the container. In many applications, it is necessary to positively identify what identification code is to be scanned and matched at point of receipt. Since the U.P.C. is not a
unique serial shipping container code, only one pack level for each item
is required when using the pick and pack structure. The total number of
shipping units for this item is the same as the quantity for the item in the
SN1 segment at the item level.

This segment is required for floor loaded shipments.
