The EDIFACT DELJIT (Delivery Just In Time) message communicates firm, immediate, and sequence-critical shipping requirements from a buyer to a supplier. Unlike DELFOR which provides long-term planning schedules and rolling forecasts, DELJIT conveys the exact delivery call-off, specific hourly drop windows, dock locations, and line-side sequence (JIS) required to keep manufacturing assembly lines operating without warehousing delays.
Synchronized line-side call-off execution
-
Direct ERP injection of timed delivery requirements within tight delivery windows
-
Automated sequence (JIS) reconciliation against assembly line chassis numbers
-
High-availability AS2, OFTP2, and VAN connectivity to eliminate line-stop delays
EDI DELJIT EDI readiness: Key Takeaways
Strict EDIFACT DTM+2 (delivery date/time) and LOC+11 (dock) validation
Automatic ERP sales order release and warehouse picking trigger
Immediate syntax acknowledgment (CONTRL) within 60 seconds of receipt
Where do EDI DELJIT compliance errors occur?
DELJIT errors occur when sequence continuity is broken or delivery time windows do not match ERP production capacities.
Out-of-sequence delivery calls during JIS vehicle assembly?
Implement automated sequence tracking (SEQ segment validation) to verify VIN and chassis order before warehouse picklists are issued.
Time-zone discrepancies on DTM format qualifiers (203 vs. 102)?
Standardize all incoming timestamp qualifiers and convert plant local time to UTC during ERP transformation to prevent missed delivery slots.
Cumulative quantity (CUM) mismatch causing delivery refusal at plant dock?
Reconcile QTY+3 (cumulative received) against supplier shipped totals automatically, resolving quantity variances before the transport dispatch.
EDIFACT DELJIT Raw Format & Essential Segment Breakdown
In Just-In-Time operations, precision is mandatory. A single misplaced LOC (Location) or DTM (Date/Time) segment can result in rejected shipments, detention fees, and severe automotive line-stop penalties. Here is an authentic DELJIT structure breakdown:

Starts the DELJIT and specifies standard (DELJIT:D:96A:UN), governing subsequent syntax validation.
Beginning of Message
Qualifier 241 specifies a Just-In-Time delivery schedule, distinguishing it from general forecast releases.
Date/Time/Period
Qualifier 2 indicates the exact scheduled delivery date and hour (format 203: CCYYMMDDHHMM), governing dock arrivals.
Place/Location Identification
Qualifier 11 designates the receiving dock, plant gate, or assembly line feeder point.
Sequence Details
Designates the production line build sequence, VIN number, or assembly chassis sequence for JIS replenishment.
Line Item
Identifies the OEM part number and engineering drawing revision level to be delivered.
Quantity
Qualifier 113 conveys the exact firm quantity required for the specified delivery slot.
Scheduling Conditions
Specifies commitment level; code 1 signifies a firm order authorization requiring immediate dispatch.
