MIST Working Group, version 2001
The message is initiated by the party which received the goods. The message relates to a
single or to multiple receiving points. It may cover a number of different items or packages.
CONSOLIDATED ARRIVAL NOTIFICATION MESSAGE (IFCSUM)
A message to be used for consolidation purposes from a party arranging forwarding and
transport services to the party for which the transport of the consolidated cargo is destined.
The message can be used to exchange information concerning the consolidated cargo
between forwarders, carriers and agents enabling those parties to handle the consignments
included in this consolidation.
IFCSUM is foreseen to be used:
- in the consolidation and de-consolidation industry (stuffing and stripping of
consignments in containers)
- in the groupage and de-groupage industry (the full load description of rail-cars and road
vehicles)
- in the collection and distribution industry (as the description of all consignments to be
collected together (maybe from different places) and delivered at possibly different
places in a certain region)
For example, a IFCSUM message can be used in groupage traffic, where it may correspond
to a loading list indicating the consignments that have been loaded on a truck.
FREIGHT INVOICE
TRANSPORT SERVICES INVOICE MESSAGE (INVOIC)
A message claiming payment for goods or services supplied under conditions agreed
between the seller and the buyer.
The United Nations Standard Invoice Message, with correct data qualification, serves also
as the specification for Debit Note and Credit Note messages. Throughout this document,
the reference to 'Invoice' may be interpreted as conveying the wider meaning of
'Invoice/Credit Note/Debit Note':
- A seller may invoice for one or more transactions
- An invoice may refer to goods, items or services related to one or more orders, delivery
instructions, call-offs, etc.
- An invoice may contain references to payment terms
- An invoice for cross border transactions may contain additional information for customs
and/or statistical purposes/services
- An invoice may contain transport details.
STATEMENT OF FREIGHT COSTS AND CHARGES MESSAGE (IFTFCC)
A message specifying freight, handling and transport costs and other related charges
between transport service providers and their customers.
The message will enable the parties involved in transport operations to indicate the various
charges and costs. The structure of this information will enable parties to relate the charges
and freight costs information received to the original instruction given by other transport
messages (e.g. IFTMCS) to allow a one-by-one verification of the statement of charges.
