0. INTRODUCTION
This specification provides the definition of the International multimodal status report message (IFTSTA) to be used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in administration, commerce and transport.
1. SCOPE
1.1. Functional Definition
A message to report the transport status and/or a change in the transport status (i.e. event) between agreed parties.
1.2. Field of Application
This message type may be applied for both national and international trade. It is based on universal practice and is not dependent on the type of business or industry.
1.3. Principles
This message allows for the exchange of information regarding the status of the physical movement of consignments, goods or equipment at any point (in time or place) within the full transport chain.
A status message may be sent:
- as the result of request/s for consignment/s or equipment status/es
- on a scheduled basis at predetermined times
- on the occurrence of a selected event/s
- on the occurrence of an exceptional event as agreed by the partners involved.
This message can relate to a status (or statuses) that has or have been reached in a transport chain.
Data requirements for tracking equipment where equipment is not associated with a consignment (such as repair container) are NOT addressed in this message.
