UN/EDIFACT D97.A DELFOR - Delivery schedule message 3. SCOPE 3.1. Functional definition This message is used in the steel industry to provide information from a party who is planning the use or consumption of products (customer) to a party who has to plan for the supply of the products (supplier). The message gives the requirements regarding details for short term delivery and/or medium to long term scheduling for products. The scheduling can be used to authorise manufacturing and/or the provision of basic materials for the production. 3.2. Field of application This message provides the definition of the Eurofer delivery schedule message to be used in Electronic Data Interchange between trading partners. 3.3. Principles The Delivery schedule message shall be used to : - specify forecast production requirements, either for planning/forecast, commitment for material and commitment for manufacturing and material. - specify firm delivery dates and the quantities scheduled, - define the aspects that guarantee the synchronisation between the supplying and receiving parties, thus allowing the supplier to plan for the resources necessary to fulfill customer requirements. The EDIFACT - Delivery schedule message provides the option to use one of the two scheduling methods. Method 1 : Delivery point driven This is when for a given delivery point a number of different products are to be delivered. This means that the address of the consignee triggers the product information. Method 2 : Product driven This is when a given product is to be delivered to a number of different delivery points. This means that the product information triggers the delivery address information. Eurofer has decided to use only the Delivery point driven method. 3.4. Message usage The Delivery schedule message can be used in three different ways based on the agreement between the partners involved. The different functions of the message are explained in chapter 1.2. Page 17
UN/EDIFACT D97.A DELFOR - Delivery schedule message 4. MESSAGE DEFINITION 4.1 Message Structure The Delivery schedule message of UN/EDIFACT is structured in two sections, a Heading Section and a Detail Section. 4.1.1. Message structure - Heading section The heading section is used to give the general information relating to the whole message. Examples of this kind of information are the references to the initial contract, or information about the customer and the supplier, references and contacts relevant for the whole message. 4.1.2. Message structure - Detail section The detail section is controlled by the segment group 6 (with trigger segment GIS). The trigger segment GIS provides the information if the delivery schedule is location or product driven. Based on the decision taken by Eurofer, the GIS segment will indicate that the location driven approach is used. This means that the segment group 7 (triggered by the segment NAD) is used to give details about the consignee, such as the delivery address and references, documents and contacts relevant for the consignee. The segment group 12 (trigger segment LIN) provides details on each individual item regarding the product identification, references, the specific location of discharge and destination, package and labelling information, scheduling information and synchronisation data to interpret the scheduling information.
