What Is the EDI 945?
The EDI 945 Warehouse Shipping Advice is sent by a warehouse or 3PL back to the depositor to confirm that a shipment requested via the 940 has been completed.
Key Data Elements
The 945 includes shipment confirmation details:
- Carrier information and tracking numbers.
- Actual items and quantities shipped (may differ from 940 request).
- Package/pallet counts and weights.
- Ship date and estimated delivery date.
- Reference numbers linking back to the original 940.
Exception Handling
When the 945 shows variances from the 940 (short ships, substitutions), automated exception processing flags these for review and triggers downstream updates to customer orders and inventory records.
