It confirms the completion of a shipment previously requested via an EDI 940 Warehouse Shipping Order and provides detailed information about the items, quantities, packaging, and carrier used. With TraceLink’s OPUS Platform and B2N Integrate-Once™ architecture, the EDI 945 transaction enables real-time visibility into outbound shipments, improves inventory accuracy, and ensures downstream processes—such as invoicing and ASN creation—can proceed without delay. ### Key Use Cases - Confirm that goods have been shipped from a warehouse or 3PL location. - Provide item-level shipping details, including quantities and packaging. - Communicate carrier, tracking, and transportation information. - Trigger downstream processes such as invoicing (EDI 810) and ASN (EDI 856). - Update inventory records and reconcile against shipping orders (EDI 940). - Improve supply chain visibility and fulfillment performance tracking. ### Data Elements Included An EDI ANSI X12 945 – Warehouse Shipping Advice transaction includes: - **Shipping Advice Number:** Unique identifier for the confirmation message. - **Reference to EDI 940:** Links the shipment back to the original shipping order. - **Shipment Date and Time:** When the goods were physically shipped. - **Item Identifiers:** GTIN, SKU, NDC, or internal product codes. - **Quantities Shipped:** Actual quantities shipped per line item. - **Packaging Details:** Pallet, case, or unit-level packaging structure. - **Carrier and SCAC Code:** Name and standardized code of the transportation provider. - **Tracking Numbers:** Shipment-level or carton-level tracking references. - **Ship-To and Ship-From Locations:** Warehouse and customer delivery addresses. - **Lot/Serial Numbers (if applicable):** For serialized or lot-controlled products. ### Benefits of EDI ANSI X12 945 – Warehouse Shipping Advice - Confirms shipment execution in real time, enabling faster invoicing and ASN generation. - Improves inventory accuracy by reconciling planned vs. actual shipments. - Automates communication between warehouses and brand owners, reducing manual updates. - Supports traceability and compliance with lot and serial number tracking. - Enhances visibility into outbound logistics for better planning and customer service. ### How TraceLink Supports EDI ANSI X12 945 – Warehouse Shipping Advice TraceLink’s OPUS Platform, powered by B2N Integrate-Once™, provides a secure, scalable solution for automated shipping confirmations: - Real-time integration with warehouse management systems (WMS), ERP, and logistics platforms. - Automated transmission of shipping confirmations from 3PLs and external warehouses. - Dashboards and alerts to track shipment status, exceptions, and partner performance. - Secure, auditable exchange of shipping and product data, including serialized inventory. - Global enablement through a single integration point—connect once, collaborate with all. ### Explore More EDI ANSI X12 Capabilities - [**EDI ANSI X12 940 – Warehouse Shipping Order**](/orchestration-integration-transactions/transform-your-supply-chain-seamless-edi-integration/edi-ansi-x12-940-warehouse-shipping-order): Instruct warehouses or 3PLs to ship goods. - [**EDI ANSI X12 850 – Purchase Orders**](/orchestration-integration-transactions/transform-your-supply-chain-seamless-edi-integration/edi-ansi-x12-850-purchase-order): Automate order placement and reduce procurement errors. - [**EDI ANSI X12 856 – Advance Ship Notice**](/orchestration-integration-transactions/transform-your-supply-chain-seamless-edi-integration/edi-ansi-x12-856-advance-ship-notice): Provide shipment and packaging details to customers. - [**EDI ANSI X12 810 – Invoices**](/orchestration-integration-transactions/transform-your-supply-chain-seamless-edi-integration/edi-ansi-x12-810-invoice): Streamline billing and reduce disputes with electronic invoicing. - [**EDI ANSI X12 861 – Receiving Advice**](/orchestration-integration-transactions/transform-your-supply-chain-seamless-edi-integration/edi-ansi-x12-861-receiving-advice-acceptance): Confirm receipt and condition of delivered goods.
