TDCC

 

TDCC (Transportation Data Coordinating Committee) is a prominent organization in the field of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) in the United States. It was established with the aim of coordinating and standardizing data exchange in the transportation industry. Through its efforts, TDCC developed and published the first EDI standards to ensure efficient and consistent communication among various stakeholders involved in the transportation industry.

Use Case:

An example of TDCC’s contribution to EDI is the application of the standards developed by this organization for electronic data exchange within the supply chain in the transportation industry. For instance, a transportation company can utilize TDCC standards to communicate with its suppliers, business partners, and customers through EDI messages. This facilitates the swift and accurate exchange of information, such as shipment notifications, delivery confirmations, invoices, and other relevant documents in the transportation industry.

Example of script code:

import EDIconnect

def send_transportation_message(message, recipient):
try:
EDIconnect.send_message(“TDCC”, message, recipient)
print(“Transportation message sent successfully.”)
except Exception as e:
print(“Error: “, str(e))

# Usage
message = “Shipment Notification”
recipient = “Transport Company X”

send_transportation_message(message, recipient)

Best practices:

1. Keep your EDI systems up to date and compliant with TDCC standards and other relevant standards in the transportation industry.
2. Ensure that your business partners and suppliers are aware of the usage of TDCC standards and can communicate using the same standards.
3. Regularly monitor and validate EDI messages to identify and correct any errors or non-compliance with TDCC standards.
