Messaging
Types of Messages
This is a list of EDI messages being used here to exchange info between Jaguar and Steamshiline through Descartes GLN:
- Booking Request ( GLN 300 )
- The shipper or forwarder can use this transaction set to reserve cargo space.
- Also used for Booking Update and Booking Cancellation
- Booking Confirmation ( GLN 301 )
- This message is used to confirm the Booking Request (Message 300).
- Ocean Shipping Instructions ( GLN 304 )
- This message supplies the same information as the Shipper's Letter of Instruction. It provides all the information necessary to prepare and distribute a contract of carriage (ocean bill of lading and other shipping documents).
- Shipment Status ( GLN 315 )
- This message is used to report status or event details (cargo receipt, departure and arrival) for individual shipments.
Message Exchange Scenarios
- Scenario One (main):
1) Jag operator initiates Booking Request 300 Jaguar -> GLN -> Steamshipline
2) Steamshipline responds with Booking Confirmation 301 Jaguar <- GLN <- Steamshipline
3) Jag operator sends Ocean Shipping Instructions 304 Jaguar -> GLN -> Steamshipline
4) Steamshipline sends Shipment Status 315 with Actual Departure Date: Jaguar <- GLN <- Steamshipline
5) Steamshipline sends Shipment Status 315 with Actual Arrival Date: Jaguar <- GLN <- Steamshipline
