Usage breakdown

Who trades X12 120 Vehicle Shipping Order

120 is used most heavily in automotive.

The 120 notifies a carrier of the impending arrival of a motor vehicle the carrier is to ship to a destination or perform a service on. It identifies the vehicle by VIN and carries dealer or destination information, ship dates, and party detail, so finished-vehicle carriers can plan pickup and delivery in the outbound vehicle logistics chain. A vehicle manufacturer, the manufacturer's agent, or another carrier sends the 120 to the carrier responsible for shipping or servicing the vehicle. A vehicle comes off the production line or is released for movement, and the shipper must instruct a carrier to transport it to a dealer or other destination.
