DPS EDI Notification

The following DPS EDI related notice was recently sent out to TSPs:

There has been some confusion concerning the N4 requirements, depending upon whether the shipment involved CONUS or OCONUS locations. The DPS requirements are dependent upon the applicable tariff and system being used. Attached is a spreadsheet which identifies the mandatory location
information for DPS and CWA.

Power Track is in the process of updating the EDI 859 specification to reflect the DPS information per the attached spreadsheet. In the interim, please use this spreadsheet to assist you in updating your EDI content to comply with DPS requirements.

However, the email did not contain the spreadsheet referenced in the notification, which has caused some confusion. The International Association of Movers has posted the complete notice with the spreadsheet embedded on the website at http://www.iamovers.org/alerts.html under “DPS N4 REQUIREMENTS IN EDI 859 SPECIFICATIONS”.

For Daycos Billing, AccuBill, and EDI File Translation customers, this change will have no impact on your invoices. Daycos has been following the guidance contained in the notice since the implementation of DPS, so no changes were necessary to our system.
