0. INTRODUCTION

This specification provides the definition of the Receiving advice message (RECADV) to be used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in administration, commerce and transport.


1. SCOPE


1.1. Functional Definition

This message is to address the business needs related to the goods receipt. This message is used to report the physical receipt of goods. The message allows for the reporting of discrepancies in products, quantities, terms, packages, etc.

The message may contain only the information that the received consignment is completely in line with the consignment information given in the Despatch advice message. In case there is no detail to be provided.

The message may inform about the discrepancies:

  • between the received consignment and consignment information given in the Despatch advice message.
  • between the received goods and the ordered goods in the ORDERS, DELFOR or DELJIT information.

1.2. Field of Application

The Receiving advice 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. Principles

The message is initiated by the party which received the goods. The message relates to a single or to multiple receiving points. It may cover a number of different items or packages.

4. MESSAGE DEFINITION


4.1. | Segment Clarification

This section should be read in conjunction with the segment table which indicates mandatory, conditional and repeating requirements.

The following guidelines and principles apply to the whole message and are intended to facilitate the understanding and implementation of the message:

All specified dates/times should be in the format 'ccyymmdd'/'hhmm' unless all parties involved in the transaction agree that there is a functional requirement for an alternative format. Periods should be specified as whole numbers representing the required period as indicated in the format qualifier (weeks, months, etc.)

Where a choice of code or text is given only the code element should be used wherever possible.

Care must be taken to avoid the conflicting use of qualifiers.

Free text information within the message should be avoided as this inhibits automatic processing.
