Supported EDI Formats
ContainerReady supports multiple EDI message types to help you track container pickup status:
COPRAR (Container Release / Pickup Status)
COPRAR is a UN/EDIFACT standard message used by shipping lines and terminals to communicate container release status. It indicates when containers are released from customs or hold and ready for pickup. ContainerReady extracts status codes, release dates, and terminal locations to show you which containers are ready today.
CODECO (Gate-In / Gate-Out Events)
CODECO is a UN/EDIFACT standard message type used by terminals and ports to communicate container gate movements. Gate-In events indicate when a container entered the terminal, while Gate-Out events confirm when a container has physically left the terminal and is ready for delivery. ContainerReady automatically identifies Gate-Out events and displays them in your ready-for-pickup list.
ANSI X12 315 (Ocean Container Status)
ANSI X12 315 is an EDI transaction set used to communicate ocean container status updates. It provides availability events, hold notifications, and status changes that help logistics teams understand container readiness. ContainerReady parses these events to show clear pickup status.
CODECO Gate-In / Gate-Out Container Checker
ContainerReady automatically detects and parses CODECO (Container Gate-In / Gate-Out) messages to show you exactly which containers have been gated out and are ready for pickup.
What is CODECO?
CODECO is a UN/EDIFACT standard message type used by terminals and ports to communicate container gate movements. These messages tell you:
- Gate-In: When a container entered the terminal
- Gate-Out: When a container left the terminal (ready for pickup)
Gate-In vs Gate-Out
Gate-In events indicate that a container has entered the terminal facility. Gate-Out events confirm that a container has physically left the terminal and is available for delivery to your destination.
Why Gate-Out Matters
Gate-Out confirmation is critical for logistics teams. When a container shows as Gate-Out, it means the container has physically left the terminal and is available for delivery. This is your signal to dispatch drivers and avoid terminal waiting times.
ContainerReady automatically identifies Gate-Out events from CODECO messages and displays them in your ready-for-pickup list, saving you from manually reading through EDI files.
COPRAR Container Pickup Checker
ContainerReady automatically detects and parses COPRAR (Container Release / Pickup Status) messages to show you which containers are ready for pickup today.
What is COPRAR?
COPRAR is a UN/EDIFACT standard message used by shipping lines and terminals to communicate container release status. It provides detailed information about container availability, customs clearance, and terminal locations.
Release vs Hold
COPRAR messages contain status codes that indicate container availability:
- Released (Status 5): Container is cleared and ready for pickup
- Loaded (Status 3): Container is loaded but not yet released
- In Transit (Status 4): Container is en route to the terminal
- Hold (Other codes): Container is on hold and not available for pickup
How Pickup Readiness is Determined
ContainerReady analyzes COPRAR messages to determine pickup readiness by checking status codes and release dates. Containers with a Released status and a customs release date on or before today are shown in the "Ready for Pickup" table. All others appear in the "Wait / Hold" section.
ANSI X12 315 Container Status Checker
ContainerReady automatically detects and parses ANSI X12 315 (Ocean Container Status) messages to show you container availability and hold events in a clear, readable format.
What is ANSI X12 315?
ANSI X12 315 is an EDI transaction set used to communicate ocean container status updates. It provides information about container availability, holds, location changes, and other status events that impact pickup readiness.
Availability and Hold Events
ANSI 315 messages contain status codes that indicate container availability:
- Available / Released: Container is available for pickup
- Hold: Container is on hold and not available
- In Transit: Container is en route to the terminal
Status Interpretation
ContainerReady parses ANSI 315 messages to extract status codes and dates, then maps them to clear pickup readiness indicators. Available containers are shown in the "Ready for Pickup" table, while held containers appear in the "Wait / Hold" section.
