Explain EDI 990 and 204 and Shipment process

Question

Accepted Answer

EDI 990 and 204 are electronic data interchange (EDI) transaction sets used in the shipment process.

EDI 990 is a Load Tender Response transaction set used to accept or reject a load tender from a shipper.
EDI 204 is a Motor Carrier Load Tender transaction set used to request the transportation of goods from a shipper to a carrier.
The shipment process involves creating a load tender (EDI 204) by the shipper, which is then sent to the carrier.
The carrier receives the load tender and responds with a load tender response (EDI 990) to accept or reject the shipment.
If the shipment is accepted, the carrier proceeds with picking up the goods, transporting them, and delivering them to the destination.
Throughout the process, EDI messages are exchanged between the shipper and carrier to communicate shipment details, status updates, and other relevant information.
