Shipment Query Request/Reply (024/124)
The Shipment Query Request transaction (024) allows you to search for shipments in the FSMS Ship
History Database in two ways:
1. Search for a specific package by its tracking number. To perform this search, you will need the
following fields:
• All required fields: field 0 (Transaction Type), field 1 (Transaction ID), and field 99 (End of
Transaction)
• Field 29 (Tracking Number)
The 024 transaction provides additional fields to further identify the shipment for which you are
searching, such as Ship Date, Service Type, Recipient Name, etc. to speed up the query.
2. Search for all packages processed for a specific meter. In this transaction, you enter the meter
number of the shipment instead of the tracking number.
You can enter both the meter number and tracking number in a Shipment Query transaction to
narrow the search query. The 124 Reply will return either the specific tracking number you requested
or all tracking numbers for the meter you entered, along with the Recipient Contact Name, Recipient
Address Line 1, Recipient State, Reference Information, and shipper Contact Name for each tracking
number (using multiple occurrence fields).
The search fields provided for the 024 transaction are listed in the FSMS TCR Version 7.6.
Meter Query Request/Reply (070/170)
The Meter Query Request (070) transaction allows you to search for meter specific information. Two
queries are possible with this transaction:
1. Search for all meter numbers with a given account number. The fields required for this search are:
a. All required fields (field 0, field 1, and field 99)
b. Field 556 (Process Request Code). This field should be set to 1 (List Meter Numbers for an
account).
2. Search for all sender information for a given meter number. The fields required for this search are:
a. All required fields (field 0, field 1, and field 99)
b. Field 498 (Meter Number)
c. Field 556 (Process Request Code). This field should be set to 2 (List Meter Information for a
meter number).
Depending on the Request type, either all meter numbers associated with an account number or all
sender information for a specific meter number is returned in the 170 Meter Query Reply.
For more information regarding the 070 Meter Query transaction, see the FSMS TCR Version 7.6.
