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

Email Notifications

• Booking Conf 301

Add these output fields:

• 300 message Status: yet, sent
• 301 message Status: confirmed, rejected, conditionally accepted, pending
• 304 message Status: yet, sent
• 315 message status: there are 10-20 possible values, show the last received
