Who trades EDIFACT INTERNATIONAL Multimodal Status Report
INTERNATIONAL is used most heavily in manufacturing & industrial.
IFTSTA is the UN/EDIFACT international multimodal status report, used to report the transport status of a consignment or a change in that status (an event) between agreed parties. Each event pairs a status code (STS) with a timestamp (DTM) and location (LOC), and TDT identifies the vessel, flight, or truck involved, covering milestones such as pickup, in transit, exception, and proof of delivery across transport modes. The message structure supports batch reporting, with up to 9,999 consignment records in a single message. A carrier, 3PL, or terminal operator sends IFTSTA to the shipper, consignee, or logistics provider that requested status reporting on the consignment. A tracked transport event occurs, such as container loading, vessel departure, an in-transit exception, or delivery, and the responsible carrier's system emits a status update to subscribed parties.
