Product Usage Instructions

1. Confirmation of Receipt of Shipments

The confirmation of receipt of shipments provides information on the arrival and receipt of shipments at the hub of the freight forwarder. It is transmitted to Mercedes-Benz AG via Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) as VA30MOD in the VDA 4913 standard. The data in the EDI correspond to the physically received goods and the delivery quantity (scanning label).

1.1 Objectives of the Confirmation of Receipt of Shipments VA30MOD according to VDA 4913

The objectives of the confirmation of receipt of shipments VA30MOD are:

• Transparency within the supply chain at the package level
• Preliminary information on arrived goods and any overdelivery or underdelivery
• Possibility of responding early on (special trip)

1.2 Database of Message VA30MOD

The database for the confirmation of receipt VA30MOD is the supplier’s delivery note data. These can be transmitted to the freight forwarder by various means:

1. Electronic interchange of the supplier’s delivery note data (VDA 4913):
   • Data routing takes place via Mercedes-Benz AG
   • Data can be processed multiple times in case of updates
2. Download of delivery note data via the IBL platform for further processing in the shipment system (IBL TM function T700)

For full information about the use of IBL TM and the delivery note EDI, please refer to the Daimler Supplier Portal at http://supplier.daimler.com under Collaboration, Production and Logistics, Data communication with Daimler AG.

2. Technical Connection

Database of message VA30MOD

The database for the confirmation of receipt VA30MOD is the supplier’s delivery note data. These can be transmitted to the freight forwarder by a variety of means.

1. Electronic interchange of the supplier’s delivery note data (VDA 4913)
   • Data routing takes place via Mercedes-Benz AG
   • It must be possible to process data multiple times in case of updates
2. Download of delivery note data via the IBL platform for further processing in the shipment system
   • IBL TM function T700
3. Manual recording of VDA 4921 data via the IBL platform if transmission of VA30MOD is not possible.
   • IBL TM functions T601 – T603

Precondition

The VDA 4913 of the supplier is to be used for the creation of the confirmation of receipt. The message must be processed in the overall structure.
It must be noted that suppliers can correct the data until they are processed in Mercedes-Benz own system IBL – DQM. Thus, until they are processed by the freight forwarder, the data can be corrected and transmitted again. These must be processable in the shipment system.

Advantages:

• No manual recording of supplier data
  • No typos
  • No reference faults (supplier number incl. index, consignment and delivery number)
• Corrected or updated data
• Package numbers from VDA 4913 can be used for scanning
  • Prerequisites:
  • Supplier sends EDI

Notes:

• The format can be downloaded from VDA 4913 recommendation under www.VDA.de.
• Mercedes-Benz-specific adjustments can be found in the chapter on delivery note recording.
• Because not all suppliers send a 4913, it is always necessary to check the data and manual tasks will never be entirely eliminated. However, the EDI quota is very good, and consequently the process will be considerably faster for the freight forwarder.
• Because suppliers can correct and delete the data, these changes must also be processed.

• Details on transmitting the VA30MOD To confirm the preliminary run, the following faults in the VA30MOD must be noted:

1. Transport = bordereau number:
   • The format of the bordereau number of the preliminary run must be structured as follows: XXXX * X corresponds to the assigned preliminary bordereau number per shipment, see the following table

   • is a consecutive number assigned by the freight forwarder

   • The individual bordereau header record of each transport partner can also be retrieved using the function T601 within the IBL application under section TM

• Data receipt plant:
  The plant is specified in the “Customer plant” field in the VA30MOD by the freight forwarder (record type 713, pos.11). The freight forwarder can specify the plant number to which the goods are destined, which is specified on the delivery note.

• Transport type:
  Indicator V is entered in the “Delivery ID” field at character 59 in record type 711. This identifies the transport as a preliminary transport.

• Data transmission:

  • Recipient SSID: O0013000577MB000000EDICS
  • Recipient SFID: O0013000560MB050000
  • vfn: MB050IBLD

Structure of message VA30MOD according to VDA 4913

The electronic shipment confirmation is transmitted in the format VDA 4913 (VA30MOD). This requires that confirmed data are already on the IBL platform. The shipment is confirmed in the freight forwarder hub by scanning. The leading packages must be specified via the interface => Handlings Unit. Only one confirmation notification may be machine-sent per transport (Bordereau number/preliminary bordereau). If more than one confirmation per transport is sent, subsequent confirmation notifications will be rejected by IBL and not processed. This prevents problems related both to message sequence and end recognition. Once confirmed, transports can only be modified via the IBL web interface. The structure of the VA30mod notification corresponds to the VDA 4913. Ideally, the confirmer will send the VA30mod file based on the supplier’s VDA 4913. Record types must have correct syntax and be complete (i.e. all mandatory record types must be included). In contrast to VDA 4913, record type 714 is optional when confirming by VA30mod. RT 714 does need to be transmitted but it can be completely empty apart from the RT identifier.

The table below shows the attributes which are required/optional for IBL to process the confirmation details (mandatory/optional fields). Any other fields are not relevant for confirming input in IBL.
