EDI 212 is the ANSI X12 Motor Carrier Delivery Trailer Manifest Transaction Set. It is used to communicate information about multiple shipments or freight on a trailer being presented for delivery.
An EDI 212 can include trailer and shipment references, carrier information, delivery locations, shipment dates, stops, commodities, quantities, weights and other delivery manifest details required by the carrier.
FedEx Freight supports EDI 212 delivery manifest workflows on a case-by-case basis. Confirm availability, scope and applicable implementation requirements with the FedEx Freight EDI team.
Not necessarily. Availability and scope can depend on the specific FedEx Freight account and implementation. Confirm EDI 212 availability with the carrier before planning the integration.
Tirnav can receive the delivery trailer manifest, validate shipment references and map the manifest data into your WMS, TMS, ERP or receiving system for automated processing.
EDI 212 communicates a delivery trailer manifest containing shipment information, while EDI 214 communicates transportation shipment status. They serve different purposes within the transportation workflow.
Implementation typically requires the carrier's implementation guide, applicable X12 version, sample EDI files, connectivity requirements and destination-system mappings. Testing validates the complete message flow before production.
Tirnav validates incoming EDI 212 transactions and identifies issues such as missing shipment references, invalid data or mapping errors. Failed transactions can be reviewed, corrected and reprocessed.
