Erin,
That's exactly their claim, this is all one waybill. But, in my mind, that
doesn't mean it has to have only one line item. The first L5 is SHEETS with
a commodity code of 3312331, this logically goes with the 5th L5 to give a
line item description of "SHEETS, 7 PCS". Throw in the 3rd L5 for a
commodity code and so far it make sense.
The problem is the second L5 which is a common line item in the
transportation industry. There is no way to add this description to the
first to make any sense. The other clue that this is a multiple line item
instance is the occurrence of 2 L1 and 2 L0's. The first LO is referring to
a carload. A carload of FUEL SURCHARGE is not logical, a carload of sheets
of something is. Also I have two rates. I'm reasonably certain there are
two line items here.
Fuel surcharge is slapped right in the middle of sheets and 7 PCS. My human
brain can study this and deduce what everything is. My mapper is not that
sophisticated. It reads line by line. A new LX starts a new line. So my
description becomes:
SHEETS FUEL SURCHARGE 33211331000 7 PCS (and there is no such thing as
sheets of fuel surcharge, I guarantee it)
Unfortunately this comes from my customer (and they are always right) and
they are a very large gorilla. Fortunately this information is not critical
to my processing. I don't need a description and I get rate info from other
sources.
