How many different types of charges do you have?

Less Frequently Utilized 800s 856 - Advanced Shipment Notice (ASN) Sent from a Bill of Lading document Requires the E-Ship granule from Lanham & Associates 857 - Shipping and Billing Notice provides the recipient of a shipment with data for both receipt planning and payment generation.
