DESADV (Despatch Advice)

Despatch Advice, often abbreviated as DESADV, is a critical document in the logistics industry. It acts as an automated message that communicates crucial information about a shipment between trading partners. Below, we explore what DESADV is, how it works, and the benefits it offers to businesses across industries.

​

​

What is DESADV?

​
Despatch Advice, or DESADV, is an electronic message used to communicate detailed information about a shipment from the shipper to the recipient. This document contains key details such as the number of items shipped, the description of the goods, weight, dimensions, delivery date, and other relevant logistics information.

​

How does DESADV work?

​

When a shipment is ready for dispatch, the shipper generates a DESADV message that contains all the relevant details of the shipment. This message is then sent electronically to the recipient via an EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) or similar system. The recipient uses this information to plan the receipt of goods, update inventory, and verify delivery.
