Container account statements according to VDA 4927 (Daimler AG Partner Program)
Container account statements according to VDA 4927 are monthly provided for Daimler AG partners for centrally account-managed containers for checking and reconciliation purposes. Container account statements contain the container receipt and dispatch postings of group plants that are members of the Daimler container pool.
For partners who are unable to process Container account statements according to VDA 4927 via EDI, Daimler AG also offers a download option over Daimler eCon (Electronic Container Management) Internet application.
Information on account statement processing
Container account statements by EDI: Container account statements over EDI allow a computerised reconciliation of container movement data. Partners have the option of having all EDI data sent to the main number (index at 9th character of supplier no. = blank) or individually to the delivery locations (index at 9th character of supplier no. blank).
Container account statements via Internet: Account statements are made available over the Internet through our Container Management department.
Account management by delivery location: Daimler AG account management is based on “delivery locations”. For the supplier number, the internal Daimler supplier no. index is used (9th character of the supplier no.). When reconciling the posting data, remember that the posting may be found under another index.
The current scope of centrally account-managed containers is documented solely in the eCon Internet application within the Daimler supplier portal. The scope of centrally account-managed containers is updated several times a year. Daimler AG partners are required to reconcile their postings via eCon and to keep accounts of their containers.
The VDA recommendations for EDI communications and documents for transport data outlined were developed in collaboration with the German Federal Freight Forwarding and Warehousing Association, Bonn (BSL).
