Gateway XML

The carrier gateway XML format is designed by Viya to facilitate the communication between shippers and carriers. Changes are made to the format based on the feedback from carriers and shippers and the experience of Viya in the field.

Message format guidelines

• The format(s) should be implemented in a way that additional fields can be added without breaking the implementation.
  • Viya will only remove fields or change the meaning of a field in a new mayor version of the format.
• Inside the message an environment node indicates if this is a message for playground or production environment
• Date/Datetime fields are in ISO 8601 format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ where hh:mm:ss are 00:00:00 for date only
• XML is in UTF-8 format

Revision history

• 16-Jan-2024: Added link to the enumeration list of HandlingUnits.packageTypeCode

Supported message types

• Ordering: Message contains one shipment that is requested by the shipper to be transported by the carrier
• Comming soon: Manifest: Message contains all shipments loaded in one trailer

Ordering

• The message can be communicated through SFTP or Email
• No confirmation message is expected from the receiving party (=the carrier) of the message
• Once the message is generated, the execution of the shipment is considered to be argeed.
  • It can only be cancelled by an agreed method of cancellation outside the scope of this message.
