X12 856 Retail Ship Notice/Manifest (Standard)
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.

Detail
The HL segment is used to identify levels of detail information using a hierarchical structure.
HL01 shall contain a unique number for each occurrence of the HL segment within the transaction set. The value assigned to the first HL segment will be 1, and is incremented by one for each subsequent HL segment within the transaction set.
HL02 identifies the hierarchical ID of the HL segment to which it is subordinate (child of). HL02 will be omitted for the first occurrence of the HL segment in the transaction set, since it has no parent. HL03 identifies the application content of the series of segments following the current HL segment up to the next occurrence of an HL segment, or the CTT or SE segment, e.g., Shipment, Unit Load, Order, Tare, Pack and Item.
Example: HL*1**S~
Hierarchical Level
To identify dependencies among and the content of hierarchically related groups of data segments
- The HL segment is the only mandatory segment within the HL loop, and by itself, the HL segment has no meaning.
A unique number assigned by the sender to identify a particular data segment in a hierarchical structure
- HL01 shall contain a unique alphanumeric number for each occurrence of the HL segment in the transaction set. For example, HL01 could be used to indicate the number of occurrences of the HL segment, in which case the value of HL01 would be "1" for the initial HL segment and would be incremented by one in each subsequent HL segment within the transaction.
Code defining the characteristic of a level in a hierarchical structure
- HL03 indicates the context of the series of segments following the current HL segment up to the next occurrence of an HL segment in the transaction. For example, HL03 is used to indicate that subsequent segments in the HL loop form a logical grouping of data referring to shipment, order, or item-level information.
- S
- Shipment
Code indicating if there are hierarchical child data segments subordinate to the level being described
- HL04 indicates whether or not there are subordinate (or child) HL segments related to the current HL segment.

Carrier Details (Routing Sequence/Transit Time)
To specify the carrier and sequence of routing and provide transit time information
This segment is used to specify every carrier in the routing sequence or a specific routing sequence that has been previously identified (usually from a routing guide). The segment can also be used to indicate estimated transit time in days. Only use TD501 if needed for clarity; this is not a requirement in most retail applications. When referring to a preestablished routing guide, use code 91 or 92 in TD502 and identify the routing sequence, from the routing guide, in TD503. To identify a specific private parcel service, TD502 will contain code 2 and TD503 will contain the corresponding SCAC. TD510 and TD511 are used to specify transit time.
When using a small package service provider as the carrier, TD502 will contain code 2, TD503 will contain the carrier's SCAC, and TD504 will contain code U to inform the receiver of a small package service shipment.
Example: TD5O2CENF**CC~

Identifying number for a product or service
The HL segment is used to identify levels of detail information using a hierarchical structure.
HL01 shall contain a unique number for each occurrence of the HL segment within the transaction set. The value assigned to the first HL segment will be 1, and is incremented by one for each subsequent HL segment within the transaction set.
HL02 identifies the hierarchical ID of the HL segment to which it is subordinate (child of). HL02 will be omitted for the first occurrence of the HL segment in the transaction set, since it has no parent. HL03 identifies the application content of the series of segments following the current HL segment up to the next occurrence of an HL segment, or the CTT or SE segment, e.g., Shipment, Unit Load, Order, Tare, Pack and Item.
Example: HL43*P~
Hierarchical Level
To identify dependencies among and the content of hierarchically related groups of data segments
- The HL segment is the only mandatory segment within the HL loop, and by itself, the HL segment has no meaning.
A unique number assigned by the sender to identify a particular data segment in a hierarchical structure
- HL01 shall contain a unique alphanumeric number for each occurrence of the HL segment in the transaction set. For example, HL01 could be used to indicate the number of occurrences of the HL segment, in which case the value of HL01 would be "1" for the initial HL segment and would be incremented by one in each subsequent HL segment within the transaction.
Identification number of the next higher hierarchical data segment that the data segment being described is subordinate to
- HL02 identifies the hierarchical ID number of the HL segment to which the current HL segment is subordinate.
Code defining the characteristic of a level in a hierarchical structure
- HL03 indicates the context of the series of segments following the current HL segment up to the next occurrence of an HL segment in the transaction. For example, HL03 is used to indicate that subsequent segments in the HL loop form a logical grouping of data referring to shipment, order, or item-level information.
- P
- Pack
Code indicating if there are hierarchical child data segments subordinate to the level being described
- HL04 indicates whether or not there are subordinate (or child) HL segments related to the current HL segment.
- 0
- No Subordinate HL Segment in This Hierarchical Structure.
Item Physical Details
To specify the physical qualities, packaging, weights, and dimensions relating to the item
This segment is used to specify the packaging of the item in the case or carton.
The number of inner containers, or number of eaches if there are no inner containers, per outer container
Code specifying the units in which a value is being expressed, or manner in which a measurement has been taken
- PO403 - The "Unit or Basis for Measure Code" in this segment position is for purposes of defining the pack (PO401) /size (PO402) measure which indicates the quantity in the inner pack unit. For example: If the carton contains 24 12-Ounce packages, it would be described as follows: Data element 356 = "24"; Data element 357 = "12"; Data element 355 = "OZ".
- EA
- Each
Numeric value of gross weight per pack

Marks and Numbers
To indicate identifying marks and numbers for shipping containers
When the shipping container is the same as the consumer unit, the U.P.C. may be the only UCC 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.
Example: MANGM00007000320000113906~
Code specifying the application or source of Marks and Numbers (87)
- MAN01/MAN02 and MAN04/MAN05 may be used to identify two different marks and numbers assigned to the same physical container.
- 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.
- GM

- When both MAN02 and MAN03 are used, MAN02 is the starting number of a sequential range and MAN03 is the ending number of that range.
The HL segment is used to identify levels of detail information using a hierarchical structure.
HL01 shall contain a unique number for each occurrence of the HL segment within the transaction set. The value assigned to the first HL segment will be 1, and is incremented by one for each subsequent HL segment within the transaction set.
HL02 identifies the hierarchical ID of the HL segment to which it is subordinate (child of). HL02 will be omitted for the first occurrence of the HL segment in the transaction set, since it has no parent. HL03 identifies the application content of the series of segments following the current HL segment up to the next occurrence of an HL segment, or the CTT or SE segment, e.g., Shipment, Unit Load, Order, Tare, Pack and Item.

To indicate identifying marks and numbers for shipping containers
This segment, at the tare level, is used to specify the identification numbers for the pallet.;
Example: MANGM00107000320000113901~
Code specifying the application or source of Marks and Numbers (87)
- MAN01/MAN02 and MAN04/MAN05 may be used to identify two different marks and numbers assigned to the same physical container.
- 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.
