EDI 945 Warehouse Shipping Advice

Functional Group SW

X12M Supply Chain Subcommittee

This X12 Transaction Set contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Warehouse Shipping Advice Transaction Set (945) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. The transaction set can be used by the warehouse to advise the depositor that shipment was made. It is used to reconcile order quantities with shipment quantities.

What is an EDI 945?

An EDI 945 Warehouse Shipping Advice communicates fulfillment confirmation from a warehouse to a seller. It contains information about order identification (W05 segment), carrier details (W27 segment) and tracking details (MAN segment).

How is an EDI 945 used?

For example, Seller A leverages a third-party logistics warehouse to fulfill their customer orders. After a customer buys their product, Seller A sends Warehouse B an EDI 940 Warehouse Shipping Order to fulfill the order. After the order has been fulfilled, the Warehouse B will respond to Seller A with an EDI 945 Warehouse Shipping Advice to confirm the fulfillment.
