BNSF is requesting AAR & X12 EDI 7050 standards for Websphere Data Interchange translator. The standards will be available at Washington Publishing by the middle of April, 2018. BNSF is requesting IBM to provide the EDI 7050 version for the AAR and X12 standards no later than middle of July, 2018.

I need the 7050 version of the X12 and AAR standards for the EDI transactions 161, 404, 417, 418, 419, 420, 425, 427, 440, 824, and 998. The Rail industry is requesting all railroads to upgrade the named transactions to version 7050. Railinc has set an implementation date and all roads will upgrade at the same time. This is a mandatory requirement for all class one railroads.

 

X12 7040 new envelope/service segment is not required for this rail implementation.

How will this idea be used?

Once the standards are received from IBM, they are imported into WDI. New inbound and outbound 7050 maps will be created using the 7050 standards.
