VDA 4913 EDI Transaction: Delivery Note And Transport Data (Daimler AG)
VDA 4913 EDI Transaction is the core message for material-accompanying information supported by Daimler AG since 1984. It is company assumption that all incoming goods shipments will be notified in advance with a delivery note EDI (VDA 4913 EDI Transaction).
VDA 4913 EDI Transaction are to be provided by:
- suppliers (of series and non-series material)
- JIT and JIS suppliers
- external service providers (EDL)
- LLZ
Some special requirements for completing the VDA 4913 EDI Transaction data fields apply for certain data sender groups. The special requirements for generating VDA 4913 EDI Transaction data for JIT and JIS suppliers, external service providers and area contract freight forwarders are then discussed separately.
How the delivery note and transport data message according to VDA 4913 fits into the goods receipt process at Daimler AG plants? Immediately on arrival in the plant, the truck driver reports to the truck management station. Provided the EDI was sent in good time, the data is already in our user systems in an AVIS file (“Avis” = advice notification). The data is actually received by the T-Systems EDIS system, and automatically forwarded to the target user systems.
The staff at the counter input the keys shown in the waybill into the Daimler AG goods receipt systems, and the data as per the advice notification are posted as a goods entry. Your EDI data is handed to the truck driver as an unloading list and clearance voucher, with comments confirming arrival of the consignment, for presentation to the unloading points. The truck is then driven to the unloading point(s) in the plant.
Unfortunately, for process reliability reasons it is not possible to eliminate all hard-copy documentation for supplier information accompanying goods consignments. There are two options for hard-copy documents for EDI delivery notes:
- EDI goods accompanying slip according to VDA 4912. The use of this slip significantly reduces the volume of paper documents. The submission of an EDI goods accompanying slip is mandatory for all Daimler AG plants.
- Delivery note according to DIN 4991 (fallback for special cases only).
