Objectives/area of application of a EDI VDA 4905 Message
Objective of detailed call-off: The aim is to generate call-offs for a selected range of parts, daily or even several times a day, in response to changing production and assembly requirements, in order to optimise information and material flows. The following are particularly suitable areas of application:
- Parts families where the volumes involved require timely deliveries close to one or more user locations without the use of interim depots.
- Parts families subject to wide fluctuations in demand, requiring frequent updates to ensure deliveries are made according to production requirements.
- Detailed call-offs can also serve a number of purposes for the supplier:
- precise shipping instructions
- where applicable, as a tool for fine-tuning production schedules
- advance notification of JIS call-offs (VDA 4916)
Advantages of detailed call-offs:
- ability to process demand data in response to current requirements
- ability to post special requirements arising within a workday
- preliminary planning on hourly basis
- timetable management
- same-day call-off invoice
- flexible interchange of demand data
- flexible calendar management
- early EDI dispatch (as VDA 4905)
- low interchange volume (5 to 15 days).
