Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) of delivery note and transport data
Electronic data interchanges (EDI) of delivery notes and transport notifications in accordance with the message standards developed by the Verband der Automobilindustrie e.V. (VDA) are used for communication with Mercedes-Benz AG. Against this background, the supplier or the forwarding agent is obliged to create and always use the necessary prerequisites for communication with Mercedes-Benz AG.
Possible ways
1. Transmission of a standard EDI delivery note according to VDA 4913 or Edifact (DESADV) or standard EDI transport according to VDA 4921.
To set up a standard EDI with your own EDP system, a procedure and data test must be performed. The exact description can be found in the EDI manual.
2. Alternative online registration in the Inbound Logistics Platform (IBL) system in the Mercedes-Benz Supplier Portal
- The IBL-DQM application is available in the Mercedes-Benz Supplier Portal for the transmission of EDI delivery notes via the Internet.
- The IBL-TM application is available in the Mercedes-Benz Supplier Portal for the transmission of EDI transport notifications via the Internet.
- No procedure or data test is required for both procedures.
If you have any general questions, please contact our support team at the following link:
Goods accompanying documents
The EDI data, goods accompanying documents (goods accompanying documents and goods tags) must always correspond to the actually delivered goods.
All necessary documents and data must correspond at all times with the actually delivered volumes and must be kept up to date accordingly.
You will find further information hier in OnePager_EDI-Good consignment note.
Process deviations
To improve the data quality of transmitted delivery data and thus prevent incurrence of additional costs for follow-up work created by missing, incomplete or erroneous Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), Daimler provides DQM for its suppliers.
The REKLA module is also available on the IBL platform for the complaint of logistical failures. Corresponding deviations and the additional work incurred are documented here and made available to the causer for a statement directly.
We expressly point out: In the event of process defects resulting from faulty, incomplete or missing data or from process deviations in the delivery, the supplier will be charged the resulting costs if responsible for their generation.
