Single Item Pallets Hierarchy (H-E-B Advanced Shipping Notice)
Single Item Pallets Hierarchy in EDI Advanced Shipping Notice with basic representation is provided with several examples.
- Tare Level (HL = T) represents the top level shipping unit consisting of Pallets, Cartons or other large Shipping Containers. Additional option provided at bottom of page.
- Pack Level (HL = P) represents the primary packaging units (Cases) which are associated with each Tare Level Item Level (HL= I) represents consumer or sellable units defined in each Pack Level.
Option: H-E-B requires that you define a Tare level hierarchy, whether you actually palletize your product or not. If you are shipping a set of cases that are not palletized, simply define the HL segment (HL = T) and then use the Pack Level hierarchy (HL=P) to define the case quantity. Doing this causes the H-E-B system to treat all of the loose cartons as a virtual pallet. The reason that H-E-B requires a Tare hierarchy is that H-E-B warehouses are configured to handle pallets, not loose cases.
