Edibar Systems API - Toyota Shipping Confirmation System (TSCS)

Toyota TSCS Integration - A recent mandate by Toyota has incorporated a confirmation process for both Skid Manifest to OW Kanban labels, and Trailer Confirmation of those Skid Manifests to Orders. The E-RMS TSCS API option supports all necessary validation and communication of SKID and Trailer confirmations required by the Toyota TSCS system.

TSCS (Toyota Shipment Confirmation System) Overview

  • A recent mandate by Toyota has incorporated a confirmation process for both Skid Manifest to OW Kanban labels, and Trailer Confirmation of those Skid Manifests to Orders.
  • Toyota has provided the tools necessary for use by suppliers to support this mandate, and also has allowed Suppliers to interface with TSCS from within their current Shipping Systems.
  • The E-RMS TSCS API option supports all necessary validation and communication of SKID and Trailer confirmations required by the Toyota TSCS system.

How Does the TSCS API Option Work?

The TSCS processes in E-RMS allows steps for scanning Skid and OW Kanban labels, and validate a Trailer /Shipper prior to sending an ASN. Once enabled, these processing steps become a standard requirement to Toyota US and Canada Trading Partner processing.

  • Scanning of the Skid Manifests and associated OW Kanban labels to define the Skid contents and “Pick” the appropriate shipper.
  • Transmitting the Skid information directly to the Toyota TSCS system to prepare for shipment.
  • This includes the Skid Manifest to OW Kanban label association information, as well as Skid RFID tags. A confirmation or error message is returned.
  • Scanning of the Skid Manifests to “Load” the shipper.
  • Transmitting the Trailer information directly to the Toyota TSCS system prior to shipment.
  • This includes Trailer number, as well as Driver Information, and Skid Manifest labels. A Confirmation Number or error is returned. The Trailer confirmation number is required for the driver before the shipment can be released.
  • A TSCS Confirmation report is also available to record this activity.
