This specification provides the definition of the Provisional booking message (IFTMBP) to be used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in administration, commerce and transport.
This paper provides the definition of the Provisional Booking 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 (IFTMBF and IFTMBC), 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 a party requesting space and/or giving brief details of a planned consignment for forwarding and/or transport services to the party providing those services. In this message, the conditions under which the planned transport should take place can be given.
The Provisional booking message may be used for both national and international applications. It is based on universal practice related to administration, commerce and transport, and is not dependent on the type of business or industry.
A provisional booking should always be answered by a confirmation in any form by the service provider. Under normal circumstances a Provisional Booking Message is a first contact message between a shipper and a carrier, either followed by a Firm Booking Message and/or an Instruction Message.
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.
See UNTDID, Part 4, Chapter 2.6 UN/ECE UNSM - General Introduction, Section 2.
