0. INTRODUCTION
This specification provides the definition of the Cargo/goods
handling and movement message (HANMOV) 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 from a party to a warehouse/distribution centre
identifying the handling services and where required the
movement of specified goods, limited to warehouses within the
jurisdiction of the distribution centre.
1.2 Field of Application
The Cargo/goods handling and movement message may be used for
both national and international applications. It is based on
universal practice related to administration, commerce and
transport, and is not dependent on the type of business or
industry.
1.3 Principles
This message addresses the indirect flow of goods between
seller and buyer through a warehouse/distribution centre.
The functions of this message are limited to:
- assembly/disassembly of goods and products, without
interfering in the manufacturing process
- (re-)packing/unpacking
- control of goods associated with the handling services but
not interfering in the manufacturing process
- marking and labelling on the packages of the goods but does
not extend to the marking and labelling of the products
- movement of goods limited between warehouses within the
jurisdiction of the distribution centre
- preparation of goods for shipment
- storage
- clearance
- goods inspection
- hazardous material handling
The movement of specified goods relates here to the area where
control of the goods is to be exercised from the arrival of the
goods to the distribution centre until the departure of the
goods from the distribution centre to another party. It can
include movements between warehouses within the jurisdiction of
the distribution centre. Other movements of goods will be given
by the relevant instruction messages, i.e. IFTMIN (Instruction
message) and Instruction For Despatch (message under
development).
The functions Assembly/Disassembly are meant to make the goods
ready for delivery to the final customer, they are not part of
the actual manufacturing or assembly process.
- Goods items may or may not be containerized.
- A goods item may be in one or pieces of equipment, and a
single equipment may contain one or more goods items.
- One goods item and/or line item may be related to one or more
customs tariff codes.
- Goods items may reflect either the contractual or operational
description of the goods.
- 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 another load
or transport device, which as such may be attached to yet
another load or transport device, e.g. a container on a chassis
on a railway wagon.
- 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 in the GID
segment can be expressed at up to three levels.
A number of generic transport terms are described in the Annex
(glossary of terms).
