This specification provides the definition of the Firm booking message (IFTMBF) to be used in
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between partners involved in Administration, Commerce and
Transport.
This paper provides the definition of the Firm booking message to be used in fulfilling the requirements of trading partners in the transport chain worldwide, in the interchange of cargo and transport related information using Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). This message is a single consignment based message, being aligned with other single
consignment based messages such as the other two booking messages (IFTMBP and IFTMBC), the instruction messages (IFTMIN and IFTMCS) and the Arrival notice message (IFTMAN).
The single consignment based messages can be used by all modes of transport for the forwarding
and transport of goods from any origin to any destination, regardless of route or prevailing
commercial practice.
These messages are suitable for the arrangement of the transport of goods between all parties to the movement of the consignment (including the consignor/shipper and consignee as well as the forwarders, brokers, and carriers involved) as well as providing the information necessary to perform that transport and delivery of the goods.
They should be used in the same way by each mode of transport when the requirements are common,
even if functionally similar information is known by different names.
A message from a party definitely booking forwarding and/or transport services for a consignment to the party providing those services.
The message will contain the conditions under which the sender of the messages requires the services to take place.
