This specification provides the definition of the Booking confirmation message (IFTMBC) to be used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in administration, commerce and transport.
This paper provides the definition of the Booking Confirmation Message to be used in fulfilling the requirements of trading partners in the transport chain worldwide, in the interchange of cargo and transport related information using Electronic Data Interchange (EDI).
This message is a single consignment based message, being aligned with other single consignment based messages such as the other two booking messages (IFTMBP and IFTMBF), the instruction messages (IFTMIN and IFTMCS) and the Arrival Notice Message (IFTMAN). The single consignment based messages can be used by all modes of transport for the forwarding and transport of goods from any origin to any destination, regardless of route or prevailing commercial practice. These messages are suitable for the arrangement of the transport of goods between all parties to the movement of the consignment (including the consignor/shipper and consignee as well as the forwarders, brokers, and carriers involved) as well as providing the information necessary to perform that transport and delivery of the goods. They should be used in the same way by each mode of transport when the requirements are common even if functionally similar information is known by different names.
A message from the party providing forwarding and/or transport services to the party booking those services giving the confirmation information to the booking of the consignment concerned. A confirmation might read that the booking of a consignment is accepted, pending, conditionally accepted or rejected.
The conditions under which requested services take place may be given in this message.
This message 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.
The message can be used whenever a confirmation of the booking of a consignment is deemed necessary as an answer to a booking provisional or booking firm message concerning a certain consignment.
The use of a Booking Confirmation Message is not compulsory.
A number of generic transport terms are used in this specification, to be described as:
See UNTDID, Part 4, Chapter 2.6 UN/ECE UNSM - General Introduction, Section 1.
