MFS EDI API Codes

Many of our EDI API formats rely on particular codes which represent one of various options. Examples include the service type (speed in transit) and the shipment type (bundle of services).

Characteristics

Service Types

• Service Types are used to select the speed in transit.
• Examples:
  • "R" - "Ground"
  • "1" - "Overnight"
  • "2" - "Second Day"
  • "3" - "Three-Day Service"

Shipment Types

• Shipment Types are used to select the bundle of services to perform on the special side of the shipment (typically the delivery side).
• Examples:
  • "WG" - "White Glove"
    • This includes placement of a product in a home, including the removal of packaging.
  • "TP" - "Threshold Plus"
    • Placement of product just across a home's threshold.
