Usage breakdown
Who trades X12 943 Warehouse Stock Transfer Shipment Advice
943 is used most heavily in logistics & transport, grocery & food and manufacturing & industrial.
The 943 gives a warehouse advance notice that a supplier is shipping product into the facility, typically a stock transfer into a 3PL. It carries item identifiers, quantities, carrier details, and shipment dates so the warehouse can plan receiving labor and dock capacity before the freight arrives. The warehouse acknowledges receipt of the document with a 997 and, after physically verifying the shipment, typically reports what actually arrived on a 944. Sent by the supplier or manufacturer to the remote warehouse or 3PL that will receive the inbound stock transfer. A supplier releases a replenishment or stock-transfer shipment from its plant or another node to a 3PL warehouse and must tell the facility what is on the truck.
