 MAPADOC for Sage MAS 90/200/500
211 (Carrier Bill of Lading)

The 211 Carrier Bill of Lading is an outbound EDI document sent to carrier trading partners to provide details of upcoming shipments.

Carrier Trading Partners are set up in MAPADOC and are associated to one or more MAS Ship Via Codes.

The 211 Bill of Lading information is gathered from the ASNs in ASN Selection that are ready to be sent, and will contain total cases, total weight and total items' information by commodity code and customer purchase order number. Commodity codes are assigned using an Item User-Defined Field.

For more information on how the 211 MAPADOC integration works, or to get pricing, please contact Gary Berman or call 973.758.6104.


What's New with MAPADOC

Select Routing Request Information (753) - addition of total pallets field
This option was modified to add the total pallets to the routing request file.

Label Printing - NEW PRINT_BATCH_LAB_NO field
The Label Printing process was modified to add a new counter field PRINT_BATCH_LAB_NO. This field is a running counter for all labels being printed at one time.

ASN Import from Radio Beacon - use of case weight from Radio Beacon
This option was modified to always use the case weight supplied by Radio Beacon instead of calculating weights based on the MAS inventory weight.

VICS Bill of Lading Printing - Additional fields added to detail work table
This option was modified to add the following fields to the detail work table: total items, total pallets, total volume and first sales order number. This option was also modified to fill the ship from address information from the warehouse setup if entered; otherwise, it will use the address information from company setup.

NEW Delete Range of ASNs Extended Utility
A new utility was added to MAPADOC Extended Utilities option to allow users to delete a range of ASNs from ASN Selection. The ASN and ASN Order associates will be deleted; however, the sales orders will still remain in Edit Order Package & Label Data.

MAPADOC Options - NEW Report No Exceptions during validation option
This option was modified to add the above field to give users the option to turn off the "No Exceptions" messages during validation routines.


Retailer Compliance News

Macy's
Vendors must provide an EDI 204/211 Motor Carrier BOL document to all freight carriers for all shipments. Freight charges, an administrative fee and/or any expense incurred will be assessed for shipments where a 204/211 is not received or if there is any other failure to provide proper documentation. The common data in your Advance Ship Notice (204/211, 856) and the actual shipment must match. Shipments must be presented intact to the carrier.

Target
Target Corporation receives EDI data through AS2 or Global eXchange Service (GXS). AS2 communication process is tested with an EDI specialist who can be reached at 612-304-3310, option 1. If you use a Value Added Network (VAN), you must set up and interconnect to Global eXchange Service (GXS). For EDI testing via VAN, contact GXS at 800-334-2255, x2924 or CommunityLink@GXS.com. See Target Corporation EDI Implementation Guidelines for additional testing information.

Nordstrom
Nordstrom supports EDI and said, "It is our intention to eliminate all paper media by trading business electronically via VICS EDI. You must send or receive each of the documents listed below or an expense offset will be assessed to the 810, 832, 850, 856 and related GS1-128 label documents. To participate in the vendor generated order program, suppliers must be able to accept an EDI 850 Purchase Order in response to an EDI 855 vendor generated order."
