X12 211 Freight Bill of Lading

X12 Release 4010

This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Motor Carrier Bill of Lading Transaction Set (211) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. 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.

Any reference numbers included in a loop with line item details are related to that line item only.

Bill of Lading Rates and Charges

OptionalMax use 1

To specify Bill of Lading rates and charges

  • Care should be taken when using the AT3 segment to provide the carrier with a pre-rated Bill of Lading. Rates and charges included on the Bill of Lading are subject to audit. Accessorial charges usually can not be determined before the shipment has been delivered, therefore use of this segment may not negate the requirement for transaction set 210, Freight Invoice and Details.
  • The AT3 segment provides a means of transmitting freight charges and the basis for those charges. The amount of the charge appears in AT301. If the charge is based on a percent discount, the percent discount is transmitted in AT307 with the charge, after the discount has been applied, in AT301. If the charge is not based on a rating structure (per mile, per hundred weight, as weight etc.) the type of charge is identified in AT306. If the charge is based on a rate, the rate is transmitted in AT303 with the qualifier (per mile, per hundred weight) codified in AT302. If the quantity of the unit being rated is required AT305 is used in conjunction with AT304. For example, for a charge of $20.00 that is based on a rate of $1.00 per mile the segment would be as follows: AT32000PM1MI*20 N/L.
Example
If either Freight Rate Qualifier (AT3-02) or Freight Rate (AT3-03) is present, then the other is required
If Rated-as Qualifier (AT3-04) is present, then Freight Rate Qualifier (AT3-02) is required
If either Rated-as Qualifier (AT3-04) or Quantity (AT3-05) is present, then the other is required
Only one of Freight Rate Qualifier (AT3-02), Bill of Lading Charge Code (AT3-06) or Percent (AT3-07) may be present
