The EDI 222 transaction set is an electronic version of a paper Response to a Motor Carrier Rate Proposal that complies with the ANSI X12 EDI specification. The EDI 108 transaction set is typically used by shippers, consignees, or third-party logistics providers to respond to a motor carrier's proposed rates for transportation services. The EDI 108 Response to a Motor Carrier Rate Proposal is sent to the motor carrier, indicating whether or not the proposed rates are acceptable. The response may include specific information about the rates, such as counterproposals, adjustments, or reasons for accepting or rejecting the rates.
The purpose of the EDI 108 response is to facilitate communication and negotiation between shippers, consignees, or third-party logistics providers and motor carriers, with the goal of establishing mutually beneficial transportation rates that meet the needs of both parties. By using the EDI 108 transaction set, parties can streamline the rate proposal and negotiation process, reduce errors, and improve efficiency in transportation operations.
