Code conversions for EDIFACT order transfer
CargoSoft uses the EDI code conversions like a translation table to convert specific commodity codes, dangerous goods classes or addresses from the EDI data.
You can make entries for tables TERMINALS (SCHUPPEN), IMO, WACO, ADR, PAYMENT TERMNS (LIEFERBEDINGUNG), LOCATIONS (ORTE) with direction E = receive that are automatically converted upon transfer of the data into a CargoSoft order.
Direction | Topic | Table | Translation |
|---|---|---|---|
E | Terminal | Schuppen | EDI address Abliefercode → CargoSoft terminal code |
E | Dangerous goods classes | IMO | EDI dangerous goods class → CargoSoft dangerous goods IMDG-code |
| Commodity code The commodity code can be pre-assigned per EDI partner. | WACO | EDI dangerous goods class→ CargoSoft commodity code |
E | Delivery terms | LIEFERB | EDI delivery terms → CargoSoft delivery terms |
E | Port of loading/port of discharge Example:    ANTWERP         ANR → Attention: The locations and codes must be entered in capital letters!! | ORTE |  EDI port of loading/discharge → CargoSoft location code (+ name from ort_t) |
E | Carrier → Attention: The carrier must be entered in capital letters! | CARRIERA8 | EDI Shipping Line → CargoSoft address, e.g. D12345 |
Addresses
The implementation of addresses is highly complex.
A total of 9 addresses can be transferred in the EDI data.
CargoSoft, however, only provides 8 addresses per order.
You can indicate an address implementatoin per EDI partner, which we will execute when configuring the EDI transmission.
Every EDI partner contains 8 fields for the addresses including account type and number.
You have the option to explicitly indicate account type and number so that the system can directly load the address from the CargoSoft basic data.
You can also deposit a matchcode belonging to the 9 addresses of the EDI data:
               ABS       Shipper
        EMP     Consignee
        NO1      Notify1
        NO2      Notify2
        SPE       Forwarder
        ABL       Supplier
        LKW      Trucker
        IMP      Importer
        LAD       Loading address
The entries in EDI Partner may be as follows:
                  edipartner_t.fk_adr_nr_a1      = ABS
          edipartner_t.fk_adr_nr_a2      = EMP
The sender address from the EDI data is thus accepted into the first address in CargoSoft. The recipient address is transferred to the second address in CargoSoft.
When accepting the addresses, the application checks whether the EDI data contain an address number.
The address number can be converted into a CargoSoft address number via EDI codes.
This requires an entry for the table ADRNR in the EDI codes, such as: EÂ Â ADRNRÂ Â 005786Â Â D1030
The address number D 1030 from the CargoSoft address basic data is assigned to the EDI address code 005786.
In this case, the application does not accept the address lines sent via EDI but directly loads and converts address D 1030 from the CargoSoft address basic data.
If the EDI codes do not contain entries with table ADRNR, the table is loaded accordingly from the EDI data.
In this case, CargoSoft does not have an address number for this address.
The EDI code conversions application makes it possible to convert almost all internal codes to meet your EDI partner’s needs.
