EDI Implementation Guidelines Application Manual

Introduction
This application manual describes the specific characteristics of VDA Recommendation 4987
for Volkswagen. “Volkswagen” includes all participant companies of the Volkswagen Group.

The regulations of the VDA recommendations including the packaging examples apply.

1. Processes

As a rule, delivery note data and transport data (Advanced Shipping Note, ASN) are to be
sent for all delivery processes according to VDA 4987. Exceptions are current deliveries with
which Volkswagen sends a daily delivery note (TSL), e.g. JIS or a kanban delivery is agreed
upon. In some cases it may be necessary to clarify this with the recipient.

The ASN is to be sent immediately after the transport has left the shipping location of the
supplier.

Process identification

An important innovation of the new VDA recommendations is the possibility of transmitting

process identifications. Among other things, it serves to identify and differentiate amongst
processes when the same message type is used.

The process identification is being successively transmitted by Volkswagen while introducing

the new forecast delivery schedule formats. Mandatory in VDA 4987, based on the binding
forecast delivery schedule, it is expected back.

Example NLK Chattanooga

VDA 4984: AV = call-off preview BGM 1000 (prognosis)

old

DELFOR: File name = DELFORAV

Global DELJIT file name = DELJITVAB = binding call-off

new

VDA 4985 BGM 1000 = VAB-CHA (binding)

VDA 4987 BGM 1000 = VAB-CHA

2. Area of validity

As a rule this recommendation applies to all participating Volkswagen brands and locations.
The specific brands and locations are shown in the overview of the Virtual File Names.

With the introduction of VDA 4987 these are all brands and locations that up to now also
send their forecast delivery schedules centrally from Wolfsburg (RVS station KEY).

Until further notice, companies and brands newly added to the Volkswagen Group, e.g. Dr.
Ing.h.c. F. Porsche AG, are excepted.

the despatch advice received from the supplier

In principle, EDIFACT refers to the UNB segment
for a return address (section completed during
delivery call) and a forwarding address (to be

indicator is currently being transferred only in the
VDA 4984. The old EDI formats (e.g. VDA 4905)
still be used without a process indicator. For

the process identifier must be used as described.

In processes with different consecutive call-offs

such as NLK-call-off preview and NLK-dispatch
call-off is always to be send the indicator of the

Remark:
This segment might be required in the following situation:
The contractual relationship between customer and supplier favours delivery duty unpaid (e.g. INCOTERM
FCA). For organisational reasons, at certain locations (goods recipient) the customer cannot clear customs
himself. Alternatively the supplier clears customs as an additional service and later invoices his customer. This
ALI segment with code X01 in DE 4183 serves as a display that concerns such content for this delivery.
Additionally, the segment can be used to show that the delivery is irrelevant to invoicing.

2 Intermediate
Remark:
For the SG 10, which is designated as loading unit / intermediate level, there is no article position (SG17) they
always follow the inner packaging items.
The packaging material structures in the message are formed from outside to inside, first the loading unit, then
the packaging items and in each case first the main packaging material and then additional packaging material.

Example:
A shipment consists of two pallets and two GLTs each with eight SLCs. All SLCs contain the same parts (same
item number). In this case two SG10s must be used for the outer packaging material, one for the pallets and
one for the GLT. Inside the SG10 (trigger CPS) an SG11 (trigger PAC) for the main packaging material and 1..n
SG 11 for the additional packaging material are used.

Afterwards the SLCs follow in a separate SG10 for the inner packaging material.
For more detailed information please refer to the packaging material examples.

If packaging materials have the same properties (same packaging material type, same additional packaging
material - number and type - and the same filling quantities, etc.), they can be grouped together (they form a
packaging material group - level SG10).

For each outer packaging the numbers/identifiers of the included containers in it / on it of the next packaging
level are listed. The procedure with intermediate packaging is similar.

Homogeneous handling units (CPS+++3) according VDA definition shall be combined in on PAC segment.

Remark:
The structure of the message takes place from outside to inside. First, loading units are transmitted and then the
inner packagings in or on it. Concrete packaging examples are documented in Appendix 3 of VDA 4987.

Because in the message a 1:1 relationship of batch (GIR+1), minimum shelf life date (DTM+361) /
manufacturing data (DTM+94) / expiration date (DTM+36) and delivery note position (RFF+AAU) and/or the
production number (JIS process) (GIR+4) must be guaranteed, an SG 10 "Product identification grouping level
and inner packaging" must be generated for each of the above mentioned key terms.
The packaging material structures in the message are formed from outside to inside, first the loading unit, then
the packaging items and in each case first the main packaging material and then additional packaging material.

If packaging materials have the same properties (same packaging material type, same additional packaging
material, same filling quantity, same item number, same batch number, same stacking factor), they should be
grouped together (they form a packaging material group).
For each outer packaging the numbers/identifiers of the included containers in it / on it of the next packaging
level are listed. The procedure with intermediate packaging is similar.

For the test capability of the guide a simple packaging case is represented here. Extensive packaging examples
are described in Appendix 3 of VDA 4987.
In order to achieve check ability this guide describes a simple packaging structure. Detailed packaging
examples are described in Appendix 3 of the VDA 4987.

Remark:
This PAC segment group describes the packages and their caracteristics.
Similar packages must be combined in one SG11. For grouping criteria, see the process description and the
packaging examples.
Basically all packaging actually used are given here in a structured form.
This variant of SG11 is used to describe the simplified type of handling units or shipping packaging units that
corresponds to a specific design, with specifying properties such as dimensions, material, etc. Identical
packages could be combined in one SG11 per identical handlich units (i.e. per group of handling units). For
grouping criteria, see the process description and the packaging examples.
Packages are considered to be identical if they
- contain parts of the same part number
- have the same package quantity per package item
- have the same batch number, best before data and last used date
- have the same packaging aids

Remark: the term "article" is synonymous with

This procedure is planned for the pearl chain
monitoring but is not yet used by Volkswagen.

JIS process:
If the supplier cannot deliver a certain item
number in a JIS delivery and it was agreed with
the customer that the compartment may remain
empty, the code NOPART should be transmitted
here.
If a delivery of the component is absolutely
necessary (e.g. for electrical tests), an agreed
upon dummy item number must be transmitted.

Depending on the agreed upon JIS process, it

may be necessary for the supplier to send a
separate DESADV+236 that informs the
customer of the actual delivery date.

If the compartment in the JIS container should

deliberately remain empty, in the JIS call-off the
customer sends a pseudo part number (e.g. "NO
JIT INF") that the supplier must return in the
DESADV at this point.

Remark:
One LIN segment group represents either

Keys for a new delivery note position are:

• batch number
• manufacturing date
• best before date

• expiry date
all specified on the inner package level
and on line item level:
• article / part number
• order number
• engineering change (EC)
• hardware version

Please note:
If parts belonging to one delivery note position are packed in different loading units or simplified loading units,
then a separate SG17 has to be created for each of those loading units (or group of identical loading units)
including the split quantity for this loading unit (or group of identical loading units) in QTY+11 and the total
delivery quantity of this delivery note position in QTY+12.

In other words: if there are several SG17 with the same delivery note number and delivery note position, then it
is required to include the split quantity in QTY+11 in addition to the total delivery quantity in QTY+12. The total
delivery quantity (QTY+12) is then transmitted redundantly in each SG17.
