CSMS Message: 09-000118

On January 16, 2009 CSMS message 09-000043 announced the posting of enhanced EDI messages for ACE e-Manifest: Trucks. Those updated ANSI X12 & UN/EDIFACT messages contain new requirements needed for truck carriers to comply with WHTI requirements that will be deployed in the near future. It is anticipated that ACE will support the new WHTI travel document requirements on April 11th and will send warnings to carriers that have not supplied data that is expected to become mandatory as of June 1, 2009. Today's CSMS message is to inform software developers that a change was posted to the ANSI X12 350 message on March 6, 2009. Initially it was reported that that two new status messages (ST) “Driver account information needs to be updated with country of driver's citizenship” and (SU) “Driver account information needs to be updated with an approved WHTI document” would be reported in the 350 X4 segment. This has been changed. These messages will be returned in the V9 segment instead of the X4 segment and will be reported as STV instead of ST and SUV instead of SU.

The STV code will be generated when a driver's citizenship is not recorded in the driver's ACE account. This will occur even if citizenship is sent with the manifest but it does not exist in the ACE account. The driver's ACE account must be updated either via the ACE Portal or an EDI MEDPID message. (active in April 2009)

The SUV code will be generated when a driver's compliant Western Hemisphere Travel Initiate (WHTI) document is not recorded in the driver's ACE Account. This will occur even if a WHTI document is sent with the manifest but it does not exist in the driver's ACE account. The driver's ACE account must be updated either via the ACE Portal or an EDI MEDPID message. (active in April 2009)

There is no change to the original UN/EDIFACT message posted January 16, 2009.
