Introduction to Transport Status Report Message

Describes a uniform, standardised procedure for capturing and transmitting status information related to events in the transport chain from the despatch point via (if necessary) several trans-shipment points to the final receiving point.

The document is intended to help users to understand the flow and content of ordering information in the overall process and how specific business situations can be represented in the EDI messages. For the complete EDI message implementation guidelines, refer to OM41 - Transport Status Report (based on IFTSTA)
