To:	abi
Links:	previous, next

THE FOLLOWING CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE ABI REQUIREMENTS FOR
AUTOMATED INVOICE INTERFACE AND TO THE EDIFACT REQUIREMENTS FOR
THE CUSDEC. THEY CONSIST OF SEVERAL MINOR CHANGES, SUCH AS THE
ADDITION OR CHANGE OF CODES, E.G. TERMS OF PAYMENT CODES, BUT
INCLUDE CHANGES TO THE C05, C06, C07, C49 FOR PURPOSES OF REPORTING
PACKAGE IDENTITY DATA. FOUR NEW RECORDS: CA1, CB1 AND CC1, CD1 HAVE
BEEN CREATED TO SUPPORT THESE CHANGES. CORRESPONDING CHANGES HAVE BEEN
MADE TO EDIFACT GROUP 12 PCI (PACKAGE IDENTIFICATION) AND GROUP 21 PCI
(PACKAGE IDENTIFICATION). THESE CHANGES ALLOW REPORTING OF PACKAGE
IDENTITY FOR A SINGLE OR RANGE OF SHIPPING UNIT PACKAGES AND SUBLEVEL
UNIT PACKAGES. THESES CHANGES WILL BECOME AVAILABLE ON OR ABOUT
DECEMBER 6, 1994.

AII CHANGES:

RECORD IDENTIFIER AND C42 RECORD IDENTIFIER TO MATCH THOSE OF THE
CUSDEC:
OLD CODE NEW CODE DESCRIPTION
-------- -------- -----------
12 20 PENALTY TERMS
14 22 DISCOUNT TERMS

2. CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE C05, C06, C07 RECORDS AND NEW
CA1, CB1, RECORDS ADDED TO ENABLE FILERS TO REPORT RANGES OF
SHIPPING AND PACKAGING UNITS AT BOTH THE INVOICE HEADER LEVEL AND
TO PROVIDE FOR THE USE OF FREE-FORM NARRATIVE DATA TO REPORT THE
SHIPPING PACKAGE MARKS, NUMBERS AND SYMBOLS DATA.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
RECORD IDENTIFIER C05 (INPUT)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
THIS IS A CONDITIONAL INVOICE HEADER INPUT RECORD THAT PROVIDES
DATA PERTAINING TO THE NUMBER OF SHIPPING UNITS AND THE TYPE F
SHIPPING UNIT. THIS RECORD IS USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH RECORD
IDENTIFIERS C06 AND C07 TO IDENTIFY THE OUTERMOST PACKING UNIT
(I.E. SHIPPING UNIT) IN OR ON WHICH THE INVOICED MERCHANDISE WAS
TRANSPORTED. A CONTAINER WOULD BE ONE EXAMPLE OF A SHIPPING
UNIT. FOR EACH TYPE OF SHIPPING UNIT, A SEPARATE C05 RECORD IS
REQUIRED. HOWEVER, EACH C05 MUST BE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY ALL
RELATED C06, C07, CA1 AND CB1 RECORDS BEFORE A NEW TYPE OF
SHIPPING UNIT IS REPORTED ON AN ADDITIONAL C05 RECORD.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
RECORD IDENTIFIER C06 (INPUT)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
THE SHIPPING UNIT IDENTITY STATUS IS "M" (MANDATORY) NOT "C"
(CONDITIONAL).
-----------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------
RECORD IDENTIFIER C07 (INPUT)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
THIS IS A CONDITIONAL INVOICE HEADER INPUT RECORD THAT PROVIDES
DATA ON PACKAGING UNITS CONTAINED WITHIN A SHIPPING UNIT.
INDIVIDUAL PACKAGING UNITS OR PACKAGING UNITS WITHIN A CONTINUOUS
RANGE ARE REPORTED ON THE C07 RECORD. THIS RECORD MAY BE
REPORTED AS OFTEN AS NECESSARY TO IDENTIFY ALL OF THE PACKAGING
UNITS OR RANGES OF UNITS CONTAINED WITHIN THE SHIPPING UNIT
REPORTED ON THE C06 RECORD. HOWEVER, EACH C07 RECORD MUST BE
IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY THE RELATED CA1 AND CB1 RECORDS BEFORE
REPORTING ADDITIONAL C07 RECORDS. WHEN THE C07 RECORD IS USED TO
REPORT PACKAGING UNITS WITHIN A SHIPPING UNIT, THE CA1 AND SB1
RECORDS ARE REQUIRED.

NOTE #1 IS CHANGED AS FOLLOWS:
PACKAGING UNIT IDENTITY (1) (POS 4-20) IS USED TO REPORT THE
FIRST INDIVIDUAL PACKAGING UNIT CONTAINED WITHIN THE SHIPPING
UNIT REPORTED IN POSITIONS 4-20 OF THE C06 RECORD. ADDITIONAL
PACKAGING UNITS WITHIN THE SAME SHIPPING UNIT ARE TO BE REPORTED
ON INDIVIDUAL C07 RECORDS. RANGES OF SEQUENTIAL PACKAGING UNITS
CONTAINED WITHIN THE SHIPPING UNIT REPORTED IN POSITIONS 4-20 OF
THIS RECORD MAY BE REPORTED BY SENDING THE BEGINNING PACKAGING
UNIT IDENTITY OF THE RANGE IN POSITIONS 4-20 AND THE ENDING
PACKAGING UNIT IDENTITY OF THE RANGE IN POSITIONS 21-37. IF THE
PACKAGING UNITS CONTAINED WITHIN THE RANGE ARE NOT SEQUENTIALLY
INCLUSIVE, POSITIONS 21-37 SHOULD BE SPACE FILLED AND EACH
PACKAGING UNIT MUST BE REPORTED INDIVIDUALLY.

ADD TWO NEW RECORDS:
A. ADD RECORD IDENTIFIER CA1:
----------------------------------------------------------------
RECORD IDENTIFIER CA1 (INPUT)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
THIS IS A CONDITIONAL INVOICE HEADER INPUT RECORD THAT PROVIDES
THE DATA PERTAINING TO THE SHIPPING SYMBOLS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE
PACKAGING UNIT IDENTIFIED IN THE C07 RECORD POSITIONS 4-20 OR
RANGES OF PACKAGING UNITS AS REPORTED OR RANGES OF PACKAGING
UNITS REPORTED IN POSITIONS 4-20 AND 21-37 ON THE C07 RECORD.
WHEN REPORTING PACKING LIST INFORMATION, THIS RECORD MUST BE
TRANSMITTED IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE C07 RECORD AND USED IN
CONJUNCTION WITH (FOLLOWED BY) THE CB1 RECORD TO IDENTIFY ALL
SHIPPING UNITS SYMBOLS, MARKS AND NUMBERS FOR A PARTICULAR
PACKAGING UNIT.

CODE CFR HAS BEEN CHANGED TO CAF. THIS CHANGES WAS MADE SO THAT
ALL CODES LISTED IN THE TABLE OF TERMS OF DELIVERY CODES MATCH
THE EDIFACT-CUSDEC ELEMENT 4035). THUS, FOR USE WITH THE C13
RECORD IDENTIFIER, CAF ALSO BECOMES ONE OF THE VALID TERMS OF
DELIVERY CORRESPONDING TO THE LOCATION QUALIFIER CODE LI (PORT OF
DISCHARGE).

5. DELETE RECORD C50 (INPUT). THIS RECORD IS NO LONGER USED.

6. THE FOLLOWING FIVE NEW CODES CAN NOW BE USED AS VALID REASON

1994 UPDATE TO THE CATAIR.

7. THE C49 HAS BEEN CHANGED AND NEW CC1 AND CD1 RECORDS ADDED
TO ENABLE FILERS TO REPORT RANGES OF SUBLEVEL SHIPPING AND
PACKAGING UNITS AND TO PROVIDE FOR THE USE OF FREE-FORM NARRATIVE
DATA TO REPORT THE SUBLEVEL SHIPPING PACKAGE MARKS, NUMBERS AND
SYMBOLS DATA.
THE USE OF THE SUBLEVEL UNIT IDENTITY OF THE C49 HAS
CHANGES. THE SUBLEVEL UNIT IDENTITY (1) (POSITIONS 21-37) WILL
BE USED TO REPORT THE FIRST SUBLEVEL UNIT CONTAINED WITHIN THE
PACKAGING UNIT REPORTED IN POSITIONS 4-20 OF THE C07 RECORD AND
FURTHER REFERENCED ON THE C49 RECORD (POSITIONS 22-38).
ADDITIONAL SUBLEVEL UNITED WITHIN THAT SAME PACKAGING UNITE
ARE TO BE REPORTED ON INDIVIDUAL C49 RECORDS. RANGES OF
SEQUENTIAL SUBLEVEL UNITS CONTAINED WITHIN THE PACKAGING UNIT
REPORTED IN POSITIONS 4-20 OF THIS RECORD MAY BE REPORTED BY
SENDING THE BEGINNING SUBLEVEL UNIT IDENTITY OF THE RANGE IN
POSITIONS 22-38 AND THE ENDING SUBLEVEL UNIT IDENTITY OF THE
RANGE IN POSITIONS 39-55. IF THE SUBLEVEL UNITS CONTAINED WITHIN
THE RANGE ARE NOT SEQUENTIALLY INCLUSIVE, POSITIONS 39-55 SHOULD
BE SPACE FILLED AND EACH SUBLEVEL PACKAGING UNIT MUST BE REPORTED
INDIVIDUALLY.
