Overview

POD Data is perfect for when you wish to provide POD information within your ERP or WMS or via your own portal.

Field List

	Column Name	Definition	Data Type	Format	Length (max)

	Column Name	Definition	Data Type	Format	Length (max)
1	ConsignmentNumber	Connote Number	varchar		20
2	StatusDateTime	Date of POD	date	YYYYMMDDhhmmss	-
3	PODURL	Image URL. URL leads to an image (PNG) file	varchar		-
4	Carrier	Carrier or POD provider	varchar		50
5	Reference	Reference of the Consignment	varchar		20

Format

This report can only be provided in CSV or XML.

Requirement

The receiving system should be able to interpret this file to process it by either of the following methods:

Using the link and directly loading the image from the URL provided.
Processing each image by downloading the image from the URL and storing it in the receiving system's own file store.

Caveats

The availability of the POD is dependent on the carrier sending efm the POD image. efm is not responsible for any missing POD for an confirmed integrated carrier.
efm can only send these files to you and not process the information directly into your IT system.
This is the only option for sending POD links as we can’t guarantee the filename because PODs may contain Personally Identifiable Information so they need to be obfuscated.
