EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) Capabilities-EDI 210, EDI 214, EDI 990, EDI 204
In addition to saving time, EDI also reduces paperwork, unnecessary telephone calls, and labor-intensive data entry, which improves data accuracy and overall customer service.
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Capabilites
EDI 204
The 204 acts as a load tender or a manifest. This document can also be used as a replacement for, or supplement to, a traditional paper bill of lading.
EDI 214
This document reports the status of a shipment to the shipper and/or the consignee. The 214 can also provide carrier performance data, pickup and delivery dates and times, information concerning shipments in transit and a variety of reference numbers (PRO number, BOL number, etc).
EDI 210
This document provides an itemized detail of freight charges. It is also used as a request for payment of services and is sent to the party responsible for payment, or the BILL TO.
EDI 990
The purpose of this document is to respond to the EDI 204 when the 204 is used as a load tender. The 990 contains information regarding the acceptance, conditional acceptance or declination of a specific load tendered by the shipper. This document often used for full truckload shipments.
