0. INTRODUCTIONThis specification provides the definition of the Cargo/goods handling and movement message (HANMOV) to be used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in administration, commerce and transport. 1. SCOPE1.1. Functional definitionA message from a party to a warehouse/distribution centre identifying the handling services and where required the movement of specified goods, limited to warehouses within the jurisdiction of the distribution centre. 1.2. Field of applicationThe Cargo/goods handling and movement message may be used for both national and international applications. It is based on universal practice related to administration, commerce and transport, and is not dependent on the type of business or industry. 1.3. PrinciplesThis message addresses the indirect flow of goods between seller and buyer through a warehouse/distribution centre. The functions of this message are limited to:
The movement of specified goods relates here to the area where control of the goods is to be exercised from the arrival of the goods to the distribution centre until the departure of the goods from the distribution centre to another party. It can include movements between warehouses within the jurisdiction of the distribution centre. Other movements of goods will be given by the relevant instruction messages, i.e. IFTMIN (Instruction message) and Instruction For Despatch (message under development). The functions Assembly/Disassembly are meant to make the goods ready for delivery to the final customer, they are not part of the actual manufacturing or assembly process.
A number of generic transport terms are described in Section 3.2. 2. REFERENCESSee UNTDID, Part 4, Chapter 2.3 UN/ECE UNSM - General Introduction, Section 1. 3. TERMS AND DEFINITIONS3.1. Standard terms and definitionsSee UNTDID, Part 4, Chapter 2.3 UN/ECE UNSM - General Introduction, Section 2. 3.2. Message terms and definitionsA number of generic transport terms are used in this specification, to be described as:
Syntactical notes The use of this message is not dependent on when the transfer of ownership of the materials/goods takes place between the seller and the buyer, and whether it is customs cleared or not (i.e. bonded warehouse). It does not cover however the situation of the goods: in this case there is no more indirect flow of goods, since the distribution centre is acting as a seller. A line item group is used to convey information regarding articles. A goods item group is used to convey information regarding a number of articles packed for shipment. The following table indicates the possible use of the various segment groups in the message in relation to the above functions. In one message several of the above functions can be combined. ------------------------------------------------------------- assembly/disassembly - - - - (re-)packing/unpacking - X OR X X control x X AND/OR X X marking and labelling - - X - movement of goods X X AND/OR X X preparation for shipment X X AND X X storage - X AND/OR X X clearance - X OR X X goods inspection - X OR X X hazardous mat. handling - X OR X X ------------------------------------------------------------- These handling functions are indicated on message top level (HAN segment) and apply to all line items (LIN-group) and/or goods items (GID-group) in the message. Additional handling instructions related to goods items and/or line items must be specified in the goods and do not overrule the handling function specified on message level. 4.
