EDI for 856 inbound

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hi Experts,

Please help me how can I add a new field in EDI for 856? I'm not a EDI/IDOC developer. I have a need to add a new field for incoming 856 EDI. I found a field in IDOC to map my requirement, but my EDI/IDOC developer is asking me where do we map this in EDI? Could some-one help me identifying an existing field or adding a new field to EDI? What's the recommendation? Please help me on this.

Appreciate your help.

Thank you.

with regards,

Muthu Ganapathy.

Hello Muthu

I assume your inbound ANSI.X12 856 message is a dispatch advice received (or a RECADV).

It depends on the type of additional field where to map it in the EDI message.

For example, additional product information can be added into additional PIA (Product Identification) segments in UN/EDIFACT messages.

Since you know apparently already the IDoc field it should be possible to deduce from that where to place to field in the ANSI.X12 message.

Hi Uwe,

Thank you for your information. This is very useful. One more question. If my IDOC field is Storage Bin which is LGPBE at the item level, do you have any recommendation for mapping into any specific segment, data element in the EDI?

Please let me know.

Thank you.

with regards,

Hello Muthu

First of all I have to point out that it took me about half an hour to find out the essential data related LGPBE ( Storage Bin ). It would have been much easier if you had provided these details in the first place.

Nevertheless, the definition of data element LGPBE was giving me the crucial input:


 Definition: storage bin

     Warehouse Management (LE-WM)

     The smallest addressable unit of space in a warehouse, referred to as a
     "slot."
     Because the address of a storage bin is derived from a coordinate
     system, the bin is referred to as a coordinate, for example, 02-04-03
     refers to row 02, stack 04, level 03.
     Warehouse Management (LE-WM)
     Smallest addressable unit of space in a warehouse (often referred to as
     a "slot").
     Since the address of a storage bin is frequently derived from a
     coordinate system, the bin is referred to as a coordinate; for example,
     02-04-03 refers to row 02, stack 04, level 03.

I cannot tell you which field in the ANSI 856 message you need to fill.

Presumably I know which segment one should fill in case of UN/EDIFACT D.96A DESADV message.

Based on this it should be quite easy for you to find the corresponding segment in message 856.

Reference: [Edifactory: D.96A DESADV|http://www.edifactory.de/msginfo.php?s=D96A&m=DESADV]


  Segment group 15: LIN-PIA-IMD-MEA-QTY-ALI-GIN-GIR-DLM-DTM-FTX-MOA-SG16-SG17-SG18-SG19-SG20-SG23

Condition: C,9999

A group of segments providing details of the individualdespatched items.

Segment group 18 contains the segment LOC which most likely is the right place for the storage bin information.


  Segment group 18: LOC-NAD-DTM-QTY

Condition: C,100

A group of segments giving location information and whererelevant, additional addresses, date and time, andquantities.

    LOC, Place/location identification

    Condition: M,1

    A segment identifying a specific location to whichproducts will be delivered.

Segment LOC has the following structure:



Segment LOC

PLACE/LOCATION IDENTIFICATION

To identify a country/place/location/related location one/related location two.
Structure
3227 	PLACE/LOCATION QUALIFIER 	M 	an1..3
C517 	LOCATION IDENTIFICATION 	C 	
  | 	3225 	Place/location identification 	C 	an1..25
  | 	1131 	Code list qualifier 	C 	an1..3
  | 	3055 	Code list responsible agency, coded 	C 	an1..3
  | 	3224 	Place/location 	C 	an1..70
C519 	RELATED LOCATION ONE IDENTIFICATION 	C 	
  | 	3223 	Related place/location one identification 	C 	an1..25
  | 	1131 	Code list qualifier 	C 	an1..3
  | 	3055 	Code list responsible agency, coded 	C 	an1..3
  | 	3222 	Related place/location one 	C 	an1..70
C553 	RELATED LOCATION TWO IDENTIFICATION 	C 	
  | 	3233 	Related place/location two identification 	C 	an1..25
  | 	1131 	Code list qualifier 	C 	an1..3
  | 	3055 	Code list responsible agency, coded 	C 	an1..3
  | 	3232 	Related place/location two 	C 	an1..70
5479 	RELATION, CODED 	C 	an1..3

Finally, have a look at qualifier '129' for data element C517-1131:


129  	Customs warehouse
	Identification and/or location of the Customs warehouse in which goods will be or have been deposited (CCC).
