Clients Affected: All importers, brokers and services providers who use EDI to transmit their data
As a follow up to bulletin TCC16-105 – Accounts Receivable Ledger (ARL) ECCRD, we are now sending the test files that accompany the ECCRD’s provided in the original bulletin.
The ECCRDs provided earlier include changes that will take effect in August 2016 (Off-setting) and in October 2016 (Daily Notice and Statement of Account changes).
Note that the CADEX format ECCRD for ARL DN/SOA has been revised, see attachment (2 MB zip file) for updated version.
In August, the monthly Statement of Account (SOA) will now reflect off-setting. The status of “O” will be introduced as a new item in the status field of the SOA. This off-setting change can be found in the table of contents in each of the attached ECCRD files (XML, UN/Edifact, CADEX).
The remainder of the ECCRD changes will take effect in October and consist of the following:
- Accounting date will be added to the DNs.
- Grand total will be added to the broker SOA.
Importer total payable will be split into importer total payable and broker total payable.
