EDI 225 Response to a Cartage Work Assignment

The X12 document a cartage carrier uses to accept or decline a cartage work assignment and return its references.

What is an EDI 225?

The EDI 225 Response to a Cartage Work Assignment is the ANSI X12 transaction set a cartage carrier uses to respond to a cartage work assignment (222). It states whether the carrier accepts or declines the assignment and returns any related reference numbers.

The response is small, but timing matters: a declined or unanswered assignment leaves a container at a ramp or port, where storage and demurrage charges accrue. Issuers use 225s to see quickly which moves still need a carrier.

How to read this diagram: the top row shows who sends the 225, to whom, and which documents usually come before and after it. The lower part shows what X12 release 008010 itself requires: the envelopes around the 225 and the segments and loops the standard marks as required, area by area. Optional loops are listed by the segment that starts them rather than drawn in full. This is the standard's minimum, not a trading partner's requirement: each partner's implementation guide usually makes some optional loops mandatory, restricts the codes and may use a different release.

When it is used

  • Accepting a drayage move
  • Declining an assignment the carrier cannot cover
  • Returning the carrier's own reference for the move

Structure

Mandatory segments in the 225 (X12 release 008010)

The segments X12 release 008010 marks as mandatory at their level, in order. Segments inside optional loops are needed only when the loop is used. This is the standard's requirement, not your trading partner's: each partner's implementation guide names the release it uses, adds the optional segments it requires and restricts the values. The requirement status comes from one published X12 reference listing and has not been checked against a second source.

  • ST
  • SCP
  • SE

Practical example

The 225 in practice

A drayage company receives 30 work assignments for the next day. It accepts 27 with 225 responses carrying its dispatch numbers and declines three for which it has no chassis. The issuer reassigns the three declined moves to another drayage partner within the hour.

Implementation

Implementation considerations for the 225

  • Respond to every assignment, including declines, within the agreed time.
  • Return the assignment reference exactly as received.
  • Feed declines to the people who can reassign the move.
  • Use the carrier's reference in later status and billing messages.
