102 This specification provides the definition of the Forwarding
103 and consolidation summary message (IFCSUM) to be used in
104 Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners
105 involved in administration, commerce and transport.
109 1.1 Functional Definition
111 A message to be used for consolidation purposes from a party
112 arranging forwarding and transport services to the party for
113 which the transport of the consolidated cargo is destined.
114 The message can be used to exchange information concerning the
115 consolidated cargo between forwarders, carriers and agents
116 enabling those parties to handle the consignments included in
118 In addition it can be used for a collection of consignments
119 originating from one shipper for forwarding and transport
122 1.2 Field of Application
124 This message may be applied for both national and international
125 trade. It is based on universal practice and is not dependent
126 on the type of business or industry.
130 The IFCSUM message is a functionality in its own right,
131 distinguishable from the transport booking and instruction
133 IFCSUM focuses on separate business areas in transport where
134 the view on the operations is transport means or equipment
135 oriented rather than consignment oriented. These business areas
136 do not concentrate on concepts like booking or instruction. The
137 IFCSUM provides currently merely a statement for a means of
138 transport or equipment and their summary type information
139 regarding the consignment carried. The IFCSUM message also
140 provides a means to incorporate the control and auditability
141 information needed for the receiver of the message to perform
142 the operation to be carried out.
144 IFCSUM is foreseen to be used:
145 - in the consolidation and deconsolidation industry (stuffing
146 and stripping of consignments in containers)
147 - in the groupage and degroupage industry (the full load
148 description of rail-cars and road vehicles)
149 - in the collection and distribution industry (as the
150 description of all consignments to be collected together (maybe
151 from different places) and delivered at possibly different
152 places in a certain region)
153 - for the declaration of dangerous cargo by ship's agents to
154 their Port Authorities (as listing of the dangerous cargo
155 carried or to be carried by as means of transport).
157 The message provides information concerning cargo carried on a
158 voyage specifying details regarding carrier, mode of transport,
159 means of transport, equipment and the necessary details of the
160 consignments included in the consolidated cargo.
161 Under given circumstances a cargo manifest can be obtained
162 through the use of the IFCSUM.
163 For example, a IFCSUM message can be used in groupage traffic,
164 where it may correspond to a loading list indicating the
165 consignments that have been loaded on a truck.
167 There is a need for FUNCTIONAL SUBSETS to be derived from the
168 message, for example:
170 - CONSOLIDATION ADVICE giving information about the departure
171 of a voyage/flight or consolidation to the receiver.
173 - CONSOLIDATION STATUS giving information about the departure
174 of a voyage/flight or consolidation to principals (e.g. carrier
175 to freight forwarder, consolidator to co-loader etc.).
177 - CONSOLIDATION REPORT giving information about the arrival and
178 unloading, clearance, etc. from the receiver to the sender.
179 According to the different information requirements of
180 carriers, carrier's agents, and freight forwarders for the
181 different modes of transport like air, deep sea, inland
182 waterways, rail, road, combined- and/or multimodal- transport
183 different modal subsets can be derived from this message.
185 There is a need for INTRAMODAL SUBSETS to be transmitted
186 between partners of the same mode of transport (e.g. railway to
187 railway in different countries, deep-sea-carrier to deep- sea
188 carrier, freight forwarder to freight forwarder etc.).
190 There is another need for INTERMODAL SUBSETS to be transmitted
191 between partners in a multimodal transport (e.g. freight
192 forwarder to trucker, trucker to railway, railway to port
193 authority, port authority to carrier's agent, carrier's agent
196 - A consignment may contain several goods items.
198 - Goods items may or may not be containerized.
200 - A goods item may be transported in one or more containers,
201 and a single container may contain one or more goods items.
203 - One goods item may be related to one or more customs tariff
206 - Goods items related to one customs tariff code may be carried
207 in one or more containers.
209 - Goods items may reflect either the contractual or operational
210 description of the goods.
212 - Pre-carriage (advanced haulage) and/or on-carriage
213 (destination haulage) of goods items or equipment within one
214 booking or instruction may take place in different steps, each
215 step specified with its own transport details group.
217 - Equipment may have other types of equipment attached to it,
218 e.g. a temperature control unit attached to a container.
220 - Equipment and/or goods items may be attached to or
221 transported on another load or transport device, which as such
222 may be attached to or transported on yet another load or
223 transport device, e.g. a container on a chassis on a rail-car.
225 - Transport devices, which have the ability of powered movement
226 on their own, are specified in the transport details group.
227 Other load or transport devices are specified as equipment.
229 - The expression of packaging for goods items can be expressed
230 at up to three levels.
232 A number of generic transport terms are used in this
233 specification, to be described as:
235 * MODE OF TRANSPORT: the method of transport used for the
236 conveyance of goods or persons, e.g. by rail, by road, by sea.
238 * MEANS OF TRANSPORT: the vehicle used for the transport of
239 goods or persons, e.g. aircraft, truck, vessel.
241 * TYPE OF MEANS OF TRANSPORT: the type of vehicle used in the
242 transport process, e.g. wide body, tank truck, passenger
245 * EQUIPMENT: material resources necessary to facilitate the
246 transport and handling of cargo. Transport equipment does under
247 the given circumstances not have the ability to move by its own
248 propulsion (e.g. sea container, trailer, unit load device,
251 * TYPE OF EQUIPMENT: the type of material used, e.g. 40 feet
252 container, four way pallet, mafi trailer.

628 SG20-SG21-SG22-SG23-SG25-SG26-SG27-SG30-SG37-
630 A segment group to give information about all consignments
631 included in a voyage/flight or consolidation. The segment group
632 can be used in two different manners to serve different
633 approaches to consolidate messages:
635 - Short form consolidation message
637 In this situation, single consignment based functional messages
638 (e.g. booking and/or instruction messages) have been sent on a
639 progressive basis between exchanging partners (e.g. freight
640 forwarder on the export side to freight forwarder on the import
642 When the loading of the vessel/aircraft or consolidation is
643 complete the IFCSUM-message will be sent and will use the
644 CNI-segments to identify the transport document/message number
645 (e.g. bill of lading, air-way bill, etc.) of every consignment,
646 the details of which have already been sent as separate single
647 consignment based messages (e.g. booking and/or instruction
648 messages) or which will be sent as separate single consignment
649 based messages following the IFCSUM-message using the option of
650 grouping with the UNG-service-segment in a transmission.
651 When the carrier himself loads consignments in a container or
652 ULD the segment SGP and/or TPL following the CNI can be used to
653 indicate in which equipment specified in the EQD-group on top
654 level and/or which means of transport specified in the
655 TDT-group on top level the consignment is loaded.
657 Thus the short form IFCSUM-message operates as a reconciliation
658 and control statement.
660 - Extended form consolidation message
662 In this situation, the data for each individual consignment has
663 NOT been sent to the receiving partner by means of single
664 consignment based messages (e.g. booking and/or instruction
665 messages) separate to the IFCSUM message. In these
666 circumstances it is possible to include the details of each
667 consignment into the IFCSUM-message. In that case the segment
668 (group) SGP and TPL following the segment CNI will not be used.
669 For every consignment the complete structure of a single
670 consignment based message can be used starting with the segment
671 CNI replacing the BGM.
673 Thus the extended form IFCSUM-message has not the function of
674 referencing but to show as full a set of consignment data as is
675 necessary to meet the requirements of type of consolidation
676 message being constructed, e.g. Cargo vs. Full Freight.
678 0760 CNI, Consignment information
679 A segment to indicate consignments included in the
680 consolidation using the transport document/message number or
681 to replace the segment BGM of a single consignment based
