404 Rail Carrier Shipment Information

Functional Group ID= SR
Introduction:

This X12 Transaction Set contains the format and establishes the data contents of 404 bill of lading for use within
the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. The document is a modified version of X12 404
rail guidelines (v7010) that is accepted by CP. It is the initial tender of a shipment between shipper and Canadian
Pacific Railway which contains general shipment details, specifics of railcar as well as carrier specific information.
This document is used as a notification of equipment release and if multiple rail carriers are involved the
information is passed on to the next rail carrier(s).

An EDI 997 Functional Acknowledgment will be sent for this transaction set. The document will not be processed
further if rejected due to violation of X12 standards.
CP can also generate an 824 Application Acknowledgment reporting the acceptance or rejection of the bill of
lading document by CP's application systems.

transit the carrier handling the shipment receives notification of customs release and
the cargo is no longer in-bond that carrier should generate a waybill correction without
the M12 segment.
