943 Warehouse Stock Transfer Shipment

Advice

Functional Group=AR

Purpose: This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Warehouse

Stock Transfer Shipment Advice Transaction Set (943) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange

(EDI) environment. The transaction set can be used by a depositor or an agent of the depositor to advise the

recipient that a transfer shipment has been made. This transaction set provides a receiving location with detail

information concerning product being shipped to that location.

DLMS Note:

1. Storage activities use the Warehouse Service Advice to provide completion status responses to DoD Inventory

Control Points/Integrated Materiel Managers (ICP/IMM) requesting re-warehousing and/or designation of job

order protection for materiel prior to sale. Where applicable, the Warehouse Service Advice also confirms an

intra-Component ownership change transfer.

a. Storage activities use this transaction to provide completion status responses to DoD industrial

activity/maintenance sites requesting staging or picklist/callout services. Additionally, storage activities use this

transaction to provide notification of warehousing actions initiated by agreement without prior Warehouse Service

Request.

b. DLA Disposition Services Field Office uses to provide warehouse storage location updates to DLA Disposition

Services. 

c. Use a single occurrence of this transaction set to exchange a single transaction between identified

organizations.

d. Transaction structure:

 1. Each transaction set transmits a single storage activity response transaction. Each response provides an

overall completion status at the header level.

 2. If positive status (all actions certified complete) for a specific Warehouse Service Request is provided, all

transaction content will be at the header level.

 3. If negative status (total or partial) for a specific Warehouse Service Request is provided, each document

number will be identified at the detail level with applicable positive or negative status. 

2. Users operating under the Defense Logistics Management Standards (DLMS) must reference the Unit of Issue

and Purchase Unit Conversion Table which can be found on the Enterprise Business Standards Office Web site

at www.dla.mil/does/DLMS.

3. This 943A DLMS Implementation Convention (IC) contains data associated with a DLMS enhancement

authorized for implementation by modernized systems under DLMS migration. This data (including expanded

field sizes) should be adopted during, or subsequent, to modernization when applicable to the Component’s

business process. 

4. This DLMS IC incorporates Proposed DLMS Changes (PDC) and Approved DLMS Changes (ADC) listed.
