For us, the EDI 856 reports the contents of each 'pallet'.
Our business tends not to use cartons due to the size and weight of
our products, but the concept for cartons and pallets is about the same:
a detailed list of exactly what is delivered.
Each EDI 856 'document' has a unique ASN number and has ship from
and ship to info in addition to the list of contents.
Each pallet or carton is identified with a label (SSCC-18 for us) which
also has a unique identifier. Consult GS1-128 for details on the SSCC-18
or maybe there is something different for cartons - I don't know.

Subject: using EDI 856 to send shipping carton detail info

can an EDI 856 be used to report the contents of each carton being shipped?

The 856s I have been sending are pretty much shipment versions of an 850.
Where the LIN and SN1 segments of the 856 match up with the PO1 segments of the 850. And tracking numbers are sent in REF segments or in MAN segments at the P Package HL level of the 856.

I want to include the shipping charge for each package in the 856.

But also more detail as to the contents of each carton being shipped. Can the 856 be used for carton level detail?

thanks,
