EDI Integration

CODECO EDIFACT Done Right

Generate, validate, and manage UN/EDIFACT CODECO messages in D95B and D00B formats. Per-liner configuration, automatic gate triggers, and full compliance with shipping line requirements.

Capabilities

Enterprise-Grade EDI Generation

Everything you need to handle CODECO messaging for any number of shipping lines, formats, and depot locations.

D95B & D00B Formats

Full support for both EDIFACT D95B and D00B directory versions. Choose per liner based on their requirements.

Per-Liner Configuration

Each shipping line gets its own sender ID, receiver ID, control reference scheme, and UNLOCODE mapping.

Automatic Gate Triggers

CODECO messages are generated automatically on gate-in and gate-out events. No manual intervention needed.

Bulk Generation

Generate CODECO for multiple containers at once. Ideal for batch gate operations and end-of-day EDI runs.

Secure Cloud Storage

All generated EDI files are stored securely in the cloud with organized naming, controlled access, and configurable retention.

Validation Engine

Built-in EDIFACT syntax validation ensures every message conforms to UN/EDIFACT standards before storage or transmission.

How It Works

From Gate Event to EDI File

DepotLite automates the entire CODECO generation pipeline — from the moment a container crosses the gate to a valid EDI file stored securely in the cloud.

Per-Liner Configuration

Every Liner, Their Way

Each shipping line has unique EDI requirements — different sender qualifiers, receiver IDs, control reference formats, and UNLOCODE mappings. DepotLite stores per-liner configurations so every CODECO message meets the exact specification.

Sender ID and qualifier per liner

Receiver ID and qualifier per liner

Auto-increment or custom control reference scheme

UNLOCODE mapping for multi-depot operations

Configurable gate-in and gate-out triggers

Format selection: D95B or D00B per liner

EDIFACT Structure

Key CODECO Segments

DepotLite handles every segment of the CODECO message structure, from interchange headers to equipment details and damage codes.

Segment	Name	Purpose
`UNB`	Interchange Header	Sender/receiver IDs, date/time, control reference
`UNH`	Message Header	Message reference, message type (CODECO), directory version
`BGM`	Beginning of Message	Document type (gate-in: 34, gate-out: 36)
`TDT`	Transport Details	Vessel name, voyage, carrier identification
`LOC`	Location	Depot UNLOCODE, berth, yard position
`EQD`	Equipment Details	Container number, size/type, full/empty status
`RFF`	Reference	Booking reference, BL number, release reference
`DAM`	Damage	Damage location, type, and severity codes
`UNT`	Message Trailer	Segment count and message reference
`UNZ`	Interchange Trailer	Message count and interchange control reference
