What Is the EDI 217?
The EDI 217 Motor Carrier Loading and Route Guide is a standard X12 transaction set used in electronic data interchange between trading partners. It automates the exchange of motor carrier loading and route guide data, reducing manual processing and improving accuracy across the supply chain.
Key Data Elements
The EDI 217 contains structured segments and data elements that communicate critical business information:
- Transaction set header and control numbers for tracking and acknowledgment.
- Party identification segments specifying sender, receiver, and intermediaries.
- Date/time references for transaction timing and deadlines.
- Business-specific data fields unique to the motor carrier loading and route guide process.
- Transaction set trailer with segment counts for validation.
