X12 132 — Vehicle Baying Order

Order to place vehicles in yard bays: VIN, bay number, expected duration, reason (awaiting shipment, awaiting repair).

Purpose

Used in automotive plants and distribution centers to manage physical placement of vehicles awaiting action. Optimises yard occupancy, facilitates retrieval for car-hauler loading (120), provides vehicle traceability between end-of-line and shipment.

Envelope structure

The 132 travels inside the three X12 envelope levels (ISA/IEA, GS/GE with functional group VB, and ST/SE). Didactic example in 004010:

  • VINN9*VIN.
  • Bay assignmentN9*BA Bay number + zone.
  • ReasonN9*RE Reason code.
  • DurationDTM*191 expected vacate date.

Common pitfalls

  • Bay already occupied: the yard system must check consistency before accepting the 132.
  • Duration not specified: FIFO management impossible.
  • VIN without quality status: bayed vehicle with unresolved damage = blocked for shipment.

Documentation

The 132 code and the Vehicle Baying Order name are public and listed at x12.org/products/transaction-sets. The full loops/qualifiers/code-lists structure is distributed by DISA via proprietary Implementation Guides (TR3). ediverse.io covers only public concepts, the envelope and didactic examples.
