EDI 990 Response to a Load Tender

Common T-Sets > X12 EDI T-Sets / EDIFACT EDI T-Sets

The EDI 990 Response to a Load Tender transaction set is used by motor carriers to indicate whether it will pick up a particular shipment previously offered by the shipper.This transaction is generated in response to a 204 transaction, a Motor Carrier Load Tender. This is used by manufacturers, distribution centers, wholesalers and other organizations that produce, handle and/or ship goods, to make – or “tender” – the offer of the shipment. The 990 is used to respond to that offer. It may also be used to accept or reject a Spot Bid Request from a shipper.One of five responses may be communicated with the 990 transaction set:

Tender accepted
Tender declined
Tender accepted with conditions
Spot bid request accepted (with freight quote bid amount)
Spot bid request declined

The 990 document includes the carrier’s response, along with minimal information relative to the specific shipment. If the shipment is accepted with conditions or declined, this transaction may also include information relative to those conditions and/or the reasons for declining. Following receipt of a 990 transaction, the shipper should respond in kind with a 997 Functional Acknowledgment indicating that the 990 was successfully received.As with the 204 transaction, the 990 is generally used by carriers that haul full truckload shipments.Do your trading partners require secure communication via the AS2 protocol?
