Dachser

Dachser supports various message formats for ordering and tracking shipments. After working with Dachser for years using edifact, we have choosen to continue with their XML messages as that is the most modern format we found in their portfolio. This document describes the XML message format for ordering & manifesting shipments.

Shipping label

A dachser specific shipping label is generated per handling unit

  • size: 100x150mm
  • Barcode: Per handling unit, SSCC number

shipping label

XML file

For ordering we optionally sent the forwardingOrder per shipment to Dachser. At manifesting we sent the forwarding order for all shipments in the manifest to Dachser.

Both ordering and manifesting trigger simular message, the only difference is that ordering will additionally provide segment: PreliminaryShipment\Action=5 to indicate it is a tranportAdvice.
