Overview

EDI 214 transactions contain Load status information including appointments and exceptions. See the EDI Specification Guide for payload examples.

Inbound

Load stop status updates match on the Stop Number first, and then the City, State, and Country. If no Stop Number is provided, matching is based on the the Stop Account and must match the City. The State and Country must also match, if present.

Time Zones

The TMS accepts time zones as an optional element when received from inbound EDI 214 transactions. Time zone information is managed as described below.

The Time Zone is set for Stop Level Events such as arrivals, departures, and appointment times in the following scenarios.

  • The Stop Location record in the TMS has a time zone.

    • The time zone is set to the Stop location.

  • If the time zone indicated on the EDI 214 is different that the Stop location time zone, the time on the 214 is translated into the Stop location time zone.

  • If the Stop Location does not have a time zone.

    • The time from the EDI 214 is accepted.

  • In Transit X6 Load tracking updates are processed as Load events. If a time zone is received on an X6 214 update, the time zone is converted to GMT.

  • If an EDI 214 transaction does not contain a time zone, the time from the transaction is translated into the Stop location time zone.

Time zones follow the following hierarchy.

Time Zones are sent in outbound 214 transactions in Local Time (LT).

Geolocations

Latitude and Longitude coordinates are an optional element that may be received by the TMS in EDI 214 transactions. Geolocation coordinates are stored on the Load in the Last Reported Geolocation field. City/State combinations are not matched to the geolocation coordinates.

Outbound

Outbound EDI 214 transactions are processed as Platform Events. The TMS makes the SendLoadStatusMessages API call to send all queued 214 transactions to the Trading Partner VAN and/or Trading Partner(s). No EDI 997 is returned to the TMS.

The TMS sends Load stop information including those with the same location for multiple stops on a single Load.

EDI 214 transactions are sent when a Load meets the following criteria.

  1. The first Stop does not have a Last Reported City value.

  2. The Load Status is not one of the following.

    • Delivered

    • Completed

    • Cancelled

    • Declined

    • Expired

  3. The Expected Delivery Date does not have a value OR the Expected Ship Date is more than 10 days in the past.

  4. The Load’s EDI Provider matches the Revenova customer EDI Provider.

  5. The Load’s EDI Status is set to one of the following.

    • Accepted

    • Updated by Customer

    • Update Pending from Customer

  6. The Transportation Profile Location Update Send Frequency field is set to one of the picklist values (not null).

    • 15 minutes

    • 30 minutes

    • 1 hour

    • 2 hours

    • 4 hours

    • 12 hours

    • 24 hours

  7. The Load meets the time elapsed set by the Location Update Send Frequency on the Transportation Profile.

The TMS sends an updated EDI 214 transaction when there are changes to the following fields.

  • Appointment Time(s)

  • Arrival Date

  • Departure Date

  • Carrier Status set to Loading or Unloading

Stop Number

Outbound EDI 214 transactions include the Stop Number in the currentLocation element. Load Stops are searched and the first Stop not in a Departed status determines the current Stop Number sent in the transaction. See the EDI Specification Guide for more element information.

Event Code

The Event Code field is displayed on the Load EDI related list. Event Codes are received on inbound EDI 214 transactions. Multiple Event Codes may be as part of outbound EDI 214 transactions. See the EDI Specification Guide for a list of Event Codes.
