Usage breakdown
Who trades X12 945 Warehouse Shipping Advice
945 is used most heavily in logistics & transport, grocery & food and electronics & technology.
The 945 is the warehouse's confirmation that a shipment ordered on a 940 has left the facility, reporting what actually shipped: quantities, item identifiers, carrier, bill of lading, and dates. The depositor uses it to relieve inventory, reconcile shipped versus ordered quantities, and drive customer-facing documents such as the invoice. It is the control point that keeps the seller's books aligned with what the 3PL physically did. Sent by the 3PL or warehouse back to the supplier, manufacturer, or seller whose goods it ships. The warehouse completes picking, packing, and carrier handoff for a 940-directed order and the freight leaves the dock.
