Trading PartnerWhat is the EDI 315 Status Details (Ocean)?
The EDI 315 Status Details (Ocean) is a transaction set that communicates real-time ocean freight status events—such as vessel departure, container gate-in, and estimated arrival—between carriers, shippers, and logistics partners. It ensures automated visibility into in-transit milestones, supporting exception management and compliance with partner-specific status reporting requirements.

Where do EDI 315 status errors usually occur?
Most compliance issues happen when business operations and EDI mapping are handled separately.
How do mismatched event codes delay 315 compliance?
Incorrect mapping of carrier-specific status codes leads to data rejection or missed milestones, breaking visibility.
Why does carrier variation break 315 validation?
Each ocean carrier uses unique codes; non-standard mapping triggers partner compliance failures and shipment blind spots.
How do AS2 disconnections cause 315 gaps?
Unstable connections or certificate issues result in missed status updates, forcing manual tracking and SLA penalties.
