Processing and Acknowledgement of Receipt of EDI Messages. 6.1 EDI Messages shall be processed as soon as possible after receipt, but in any event, within the time limits specified in Annex ‘A’.
6.2 An acknowledgment of receipt of any EDI Message is not required unless stipulated in Annex ‘A’ or unless it is a condition of any particular Cargo Contract.
6.3 Where an acknowledgment is required, a time limit shall be specified for receipt of the acknowledgment. The receiver of an EDI Message, which specifies a requirement for an acknowledgment, shall not act upon it until such acknowledgment is sent.
6.4 If the sender does not receive the acknowledgment within the time limit specified in Annex ‘A’, he may, upon notification to the recipient of the EDI Message, treat the Shipment Record initiation as rejected from the expiration of that time limit and the shipment shall be handled as agreed between the Parties (in the absence of agreed procedures, the Carrier’s, its agents’ or subcontractors’ prevailing policy or policies will be applicable).
Processing and Acknowledgement of Receipt of EDI Messages. 5.1. EDI messages shall be processed as soon as possible after receipt, but in any event, within the time limits specified in the Technical Annexe.
5.2. The protocol acknowledgment (e.g. the End-to-End Response EERP) is always used unless otherwise agreed. Any higher level acknowledgement of receipt should be exchanged according to the specific provisions included in the Technical Annex.
5.3. The protocol acknowledgement (e.g. EERP) shall be sent immediately after receiving the data interchange. Where an additional, higher level acknowledgement is agreed, the receiver of the EDI message to be acknowledged shall ensure that the acknowledgement is sent within one business day of the time of receipt of the EDI message to be acknowledged, unless an alternative time limit has been specified in the Technical Annex. A business day means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or any declared public holiday in the intended place of receipt of an EDI message. The receiver of an EDI message requiring an acknowledgment shall not act upon the content of the EDI message until such acknowledgement is sent.
5.4. If the sender does not receive the acknowledgement of receipt within the time limit, he may, upon giving notification to the receiver to that effect, treat the EDI message as null and void as from the expiration of that time limit or initiate an alternative recovery procedure as specified in the Technical Annex, to ensure effective receipt of the acknowledgement. In case of failure of the recovery procedure, within the time limit, the EDI message will definitely be treated as null and void, as from the expiration of that time limit, upon notification to the receiver.
Processing and Acknowledgement of Receipt of EDI Messages. 5.1 EDI messages shall be processed in the shortest time interval possible, in keeping with the terms provided in the Annexes to this Agreement.
