Instruction contract status 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 booking messages (IFTMBP, IFTMBF and IFTMBC), the
instruction message (IFTMIN) 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.
