SCAC
On this page
Carrier identifier used across the X12 transportation sets.
Definition
The SCAC uniquely identifies each carrier across transportation EDI (204, 210, 214, 990) and typically appears in the B2/B1/B10 segments. Reserved suffixes (e.g. -U, -X) flag certain modes; the code is renewed annually.
Origin
Assigned and maintained by the National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA); used as an identity qualifier in the ASC X12 Transportation transaction sets.
Example in context
B2**FXFE**987654**PP~ (FXFE = the carrier's SCAC in a 204 header)
