UBMREQ Business Rules

UBMREQ - Messaging Rules

The valid Message Function Codes for an UBMREQ are:
1. Original (9)
2. Change (4)
3. Replace (5)
4. Withdraw (50)
UBMREQ messages must quote a unique Sender Reference. The ICS will use this number and the associated version number to ensure duplicate messages are not processed.
The version number for an Original (9) message must be set at 1 or greater.
Before the UBMREQ message is processed at the application level:
1. All leading and trailing blanks will be stripped;
2. Multiple spaces will be compressed;
3. Illegal characters will be removed; and
4. All nulls will be converted to blanks.
Any errors in an UBMREQ message will be reported in an UBMREQ Error Response message (UBMREQE).
Any advice messages resulting from the UBMREQ message will be reported in an UBMREQ Error Response message (UBMREQE).
The maximum number of errors and advices that can be reported will be 50. No further errors or advices will be processed once the maximum number allowed for the UBMREQE has been reached.
When an underbond movement has been approved, an approval advice will be sent in an UBMREQR message for each line of cargo.
A Change to an UBMREQ will be rejected if there is no difference between the Original and the Change UBMREQ.
Each Change UBMREQ message will be considered to be a new version of the message. For each version of a message the senders reference version number must be unique and incremented from the previous version.
Change or Withdraw UBMREQ messages for which no original exist will be rejected by the ICS.
The Withdrawal of an UBMREQ is for the entire record.
Once an Underbond Movement Request has been created, amended or withdrawn online through the ICS, future processing via EDI will not be permitted.
Where the Message Function Code is 9 (Original), the valid Line Action Code is I (Insert).
Where the Message Function Code is 4 (Change) and the Line Action Code is populated, the valid codes are I (Insert) or D (Delete).
To create a new line record, the Message Function Code is 4 (Change) and the Line Action Code is I (Insert).
To delete a line record, the Message Function Code is 4 (Change) and the Line Action Code is D (Delete).
Where the Message Function Code is 5 (Replace) only the Movement information can be changed. Line information cannot be changed when using a Replace.
