What is an EDI 874?

The EDI 874 Commodity Movement Services Response is the ANSI X12 transaction set used to return validation information in response to the Commodity Movement Services transaction set (873).

The response tells the shipper whether its request was accepted as submitted, accepted with changes, or rejected, and why. In gas transportation, for example, the scheduled quantity can be lower than nominated because of capacity constraints, and shippers must adjust their supply and delivery plans accordingly. Responses can cover several nominations. Shippers then adjust their plans.

How to read this diagram: the top row shows who sends the 874, 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 874 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.

Structure

Mandatory segments in the 874 (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.

Practical example

The 874 in practice

A pipeline receives nominations for the next gas day. Because of a compressor outage, it can schedule only part of a marketer's nominated quantity. It sends an 874 with the scheduled quantity and the reason, and the marketer arranges alternative transport for the balance.

Implementation

Implementation considerations for the 874

  • Process responses quickly, since schedules are time-critical.
  • Compare scheduled with nominated quantities.
  • Map validation codes to corrective actions.
  • Follow industry timelines for confirmations.
