In CargoWise, what does 'EDI mapping' refer to in the context of carrier connectivity?
Answer: Translating carrier-specific EDI segments into CargoWise data fields and vice versa
EDI mapping defines how specific data elements in a carrier's EDI message (e.g., X12 or EDIFACT segments) correspond to fields within CargoWise records.
Which statement best describes CargoWise's approach to API connectivity beyond eAdaptor?
Answer: CargoWise provides a RESTful API (CargoWise Web API) for modern integrations alongside eAdaptor
CargoWise offers a modern RESTful Web API in addition to the legacy eAdaptor framework, enabling integrations with contemporary platforms and microservices.
When automating document generation in CargoWise, which feature is used to produce PDFs such as airway bills or bills of lading automatically?
Answer: Document Templates combined with Universal Event triggers
Document Templates define the layout and data fields, while Universal Events trigger their automatic generation and distribution at the appropriate workflow stage.
In a CargoWise integration scenario, what is the purpose of an 'acknowledgment message' (e.g., 997 in X12 EDI)?
Answer: To confirm receipt and syntactic validity of a transmitted EDI message
An acknowledgment message (such as X12 997/999) confirms that the receiving system successfully received and parsed the EDI transmission without structural errors.
What CargoWise configuration controls which eAdaptor messages are sent automatically when a shipment reaches 'Departed' status?
Answer: Universal Event configuration linked to the Departed milestone
A Universal Event configured to trigger on the 'Departed' milestone will automatically send the specified eAdaptor messages to configured trading partners.
Which data validation step should occur before a CargoWise eAdaptor message is processed into the system?
Answer: XML schema validation against the expected eAdaptor XSD definition
eAdaptor messages are validated against the relevant XSD schema to ensure the XML structure and required fields are correct before CargoWise processes the data.
In CargoWise, what is a 'Consol' (consolidation) message used for in EDI contexts?
Answer: Transmitting master-level shipment data grouping multiple house shipments under one transport booking
A Consol EDI message communicates master consolidation details—such as a master airway bill or ocean bill of lading—that group multiple house-level shipments under a single carrier booking.
