X12I Transportation Subcommittee

This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Rail Carrier Shipment Information Transaction Set (404) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. The transaction set can be used to transmit rail-carrier-specific bill of lading information to a railroad. It is the initial tender of a shipment between a consignor and a rail carrier and can be used as notification of equipment release and/or a legal bill of lading.
