Who trades EDIFACT FORWARDING And Consolidation Summary
FORWARDING is used most heavily in manufacturing & industrial.
IFCSUM is the UN/EDIFACT forwarding and consolidation summary, sent for consolidation purposes by the party arranging forwarding and transport to describe multiple consignments moving as one master shipment. It identifies the consolidation by master references such as the master bill of lading or master air waybill, lists each house consignment in CNI segments, and carries weights and dimensions in MEA and DIM segments so forwarders, carriers, and agents can handle the individual consignments included in the consolidation. A freight forwarder or consolidator sends IFCSUM to the carrier, destination agent, or party handling the consolidated cargo at destination. A forwarder closes a consolidation at the origin container freight station or builds an air unit load device and transmits the summary of house consignments to the carrier or destination agent before departure.
