Shipping instructions information is very important if you want customer and/or commodity specific reporting capabilities. Although, most reports will function without this information.
If you have a business computer system that generates this information, RMS could capture it with a customized linkage. RMS can get billing information directly from Class I railroads (in the form of ANSI X12 standard EDI 417 waybills) and comma delimited text files (fields must be in a specified order) without customization. If you prefer to get this information from a third party or from a business system that cannot provide the data in the comma delimited format required, call Customer Support and we will configure RMS to accept the billing information.
See Add shipping instructions; Update shipping instructions, Delete shipping instructions.
Note:
Bills of lading, waybills, and shipping instructions are used synonymously in this help document.
