0. INTRODUCTION
This specification provides the definition of the Forwarding
and consolidation summary message (IFCSUM) to be used in
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners
involved in administration, commerce and transport.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Functional Definition
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.
In addition it can be used for a collection of consignments
originating from one shipper for forwarding and transport
services.
1.2 Field of Application
This message may be applied for both national and international
trade. It is based on universal practice and is not dependent
on the type of business or industry.
1.3 Principles
The IFCSUM message is a functionality in its own right,
distinguishable from the transport booking and instruction
messages.
IFCSUM focuses on separate business areas in transport where
the view on the operations is transport means or equipment
oriented rather than consignment oriented. These business areas
do not concentrate on concepts like booking or instruction. The
IFCSUM provides currently merely a statement for a means of
transport or equipment and their summary type information
regarding the consignment carried. The IFCSUM message also
provides a means to incorporate the control and auditability
information needed for the receiver of the message to perform
the operation to be carried out.
IFCSUM is foreseen to be used:
- in the consolidation and deconsolidation industry (stuffing
and stripping of consignments in containers)
- in the groupage and degroupage 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 the declaration of dangerous cargo by ship's agents to
their Port Authorities (as listing of the dangerous cargo
carried or to be carried by as means of transport).
The message provides information concerning cargo carried on a
voyage specifying details regarding carrier, mode of transport,
means of transport, equipment and the necessary details of the
consignments included in the consolidated cargo.
Under given circumstances a cargo manifest can be obtained
through the use of the IFCSUM.
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.
There is a need for FUNCTIONAL SUBSETS to be derived from the
message, for example:
- CONSOLIDATION ADVICE giving information about the departure
of a voyage/flight or consolidation to the receiver.
- CONSOLIDATION STATUS giving information about the departure
of a voyage/flight or consolidation to principals (e.g. carrier
to freight forwarder, consolidator to co-loader etc.).
- CONSOLIDATION REPORT giving information about the arrival and
unloading, clearance, etc. from the receiver to the sender.
According to the different information requirements of
carriers, carrier's agents, and freight forwarders for the
different modes of transport like air, deep sea, inland
waterways, rail, road, combined- and/or multimodal- transport
different modal subsets can be derived from this message.
There is a need for INTRAMODAL SUBSETS to be transmitted
between partners of the same mode of transport (e.g. railway to
railway in different countries, deep-sea-carrier to deep- sea
carrier, freight forwarder to freight forwarder etc.).
There is another need for INTERMODAL SUBSETS to be transmitted
between partners in a multimodal transport (e.g. freight
forwarder to trucker, trucker to railway, railway to port
authority, port authority to carrier's agent, carrier's agent
to carrier etc.).
- A consignment may contain several goods items.
- Goods items may or may not be containerized.
- A goods item may be transported in one or more containers,
and a single container may contain one or more goods items.
- One goods item may be related to one or more customs tariff
codes.
- Goods items related to one customs tariff code may be carried
in one or more containers.
- Goods items may reflect either the contractual or operational
description of the goods.
- Pre-carriage (advanced haulage) and/or on-carriage
(destination haulage) of goods items or equipment within one
booking or instruction may take place in different steps, each
step specified with its own transport details group.
- Equipment may have other types of equipment attached to it,
e.g. a temperature control unit attached to a container.
- Equipment and/or goods items may be attached to or
transported on another load or transport device, which as such
may be attached to or transported on yet another load or
transport device, e.g. a container on a chassis on a rail-car.
- Transport devices, which have the ability of powered movement
on their own, are specified in the transport details group.
Other load or transport devices are specified as equipment.
- The expression of packaging for goods items can be expressed
at up to three levels.
A number of generic transport terms are used in this
specification, to be described as:
* MODE OF TRANSPORT: the method of transport used for the
conveyance of goods or persons, e.g. by rail, by road, by sea.
* MEANS OF TRANSPORT: the vehicle used for the transport of
goods or persons, e.g. aircraft, truck, vessel.
* TYPE OF MEANS OF TRANSPORT: the type of vehicle used in the
transport process, e.g. wide body, tank truck, passenger
vessel.
* EQUIPMENT: material resources necessary to facilitate the
transport and handling of cargo. Transport equipment does under
the given circumstances not have the ability to move by its own
propulsion (e.g. sea container, trailer, unit load device,
pallet).
* TYPE OF EQUIPMENT: the type of material used, e.g. 40 feet
container, four way pallet, mafi trailer.

SG20-SG21-SG22-SG23-SG25-SG26-SG27-SG30-SG37-
SG56
A segment group to give information about all consignments
included in a voyage/flight or consolidation. The segment group
can be used in two different manners to serve different
approaches to consolidate messages:
- Short form consolidation message
In this situation, single consignment based functional messages
(e.g. booking and/or instruction messages) have been sent on a
progressive basis between exchanging partners (e.g. freight
forwarder on the export side to freight forwarder on the import
side).
When the loading of the vessel/aircraft or consolidation is
complete the IFCSUM-message will be sent and will use the
CNI-segments to identify the transport document/message number
(e.g. bill of lading, air-way bill, etc.) of every consignment,
the details of which have already been sent as separate single
consignment based messages (e.g. booking and/or instruction
messages) or which will be sent as separate single consignment
based messages following the IFCSUM-message using the option of
grouping with the UNG-service-segment in a transmission.
When the carrier himself loads consignments in a container or
ULD the segment SGP and/or TPL following the CNI can be used to
indicate in which equipment specified in the EQD-group on top
level and/or which means of transport specified in the
TDT-group on top level the consignment is loaded.
Thus the short form IFCSUM-message operates as a reconciliation
and control statement.
- Extended form consolidation message
In this situation, the data for each individual consignment has
NOT been sent to the receiving partner by means of single
consignment based messages (e.g. booking and/or instruction
messages) separate to the IFCSUM message. In these
circumstances it is possible to include the details of each
consignment into the IFCSUM-message. In that case the segment
(group) SGP and TPL following the segment CNI will not be used.
For every consignment the complete structure of a single
consignment based message can be used starting with the segment
CNI replacing the BGM.
Thus the extended form IFCSUM-message has not the function of
referencing but to show as full a set of consignment data as is
necessary to meet the requirements of type of consolidation
message being constructed, e.g. Cargo vs. Full Freight.
