This X12 Transaction Set contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Transportation Carrier Shipment Status Message Transaction Set (214) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. This transaction set can be used by a transportation carrier to provide shippers, consignees, and their agents with the status of shipments in terms of dates, times, locations, route, identifying numbers, and conveyance.
Carriers employ an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) document called an EDI 214-Shipment Status Message to give shippers, consignees, and third-party logistics (3PL) providers up-to-date shipment status updates.
It automates communication by providing real-time location, status, pickup dates, estimated delivery times, proof of delivery, and shipment details.
