0. Introduction

This specification provides the definition of the Delivery Schedule Message (DELFOR) to be used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between partners involved in administration, commerce and transportation.


1. Scope

This paper provides the definition of the United Nations Standard Delivery Schedule message to be used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners.


1.1. Functional Definition

A message from buyer to supplier giving product requirements regarding details for short term delivery instructions and/or medium to long term product/service forecast for planning purposes according to conditions set out in a contract or order. The message can be used to authorize the commitment of labour and materials resources.


1.2. Field of Application

The UN Standard Delivery Schedule Message may be applied for both national and international trade. It is based on universal commercial practice and is not dependent on the type of business or industry.


1.3. Principles

  • specify delivery schedules requested by the buyer
  • define the aspects that guarantee a perfect synchronization between buyer and seller
  • provide information allowing the seller to plan for future requirements in order to purchase raw materials to produce and deliver goods in the most economical way.

2. References

See UNTDID, Part 4 Section 2.5 UN/ECE UNSM - General Introduction, Section 1.


3. Terms and Definitions
