EDI 862: the Shipping Schedule

What the 862 is

The EDI 862 — the X12 Shipping Schedule — is firm short-horizon ship authorizations against the 830 forecast. It travels inbound for most trading programs.

When it's sent

The 862 travels outside the core 850 → 855 → 856 → 810 chain — it supports the programs that surround it.

Key segments

The 862 follows the standard X12 segment layout for its functional group. Partner companion guides add the specifics — EDISQ's certified maps carry those rules per partner, so you never read the implementation guide yourself.
