Load carrier account statements according to VDA 4927
Brief description of VDA 4927
Mercedes-Benz AG provides its partners with a monthly load carrier account statement for centrally managed load carriers for checking and reconciliation purposes. The account statements contain the load carrier receipt and dispatch postings of group plants that are members of the Mercedes-Benz load carrier pool.
Note
For partners who are unable to process this EDI, we also offer a download
option over our eCon (electronic Container Management) Internet application.

Information on account statement processing
Load carrier account statements by EDI
Load carrier account statements over EDI allow a computerized reconciliation
of load carrier movement data. Partners have the option of having all EDI data
sent to the main number (index at 9th character of supplier no. =blank) or
individually to the delivery locations (index at 9th character of supplier no.
blank). Load carrier account statements via the Internet Account statements
are made available over the eCon Internet application through our Container
Management department.
Account management by delivery location
Our account management is based on “delivery locations”. For the supplier
number, the internal Mercedes-Benz supplier no. index is used (9th character
of the supplier no.). When reconciling the posting data, remember that the
posting may be found under another index.
Note
The current scope of centrally account-managed load carriers is documented
solely in the eCon Internet application within the Mercedes-Benz supplier
portal. The scope of centrally account-managed load carriers is updated
several times a year. Our partners are required to reconcile their postings
via eCon and to keep accounts of their load carriers.
