1 SHORT DESCRIPTION
1.1 Application
This procedural description regulates the processing of remote-data transmission (DFÜ) of delivery schedules via public transmission networks between the automobile manufacturers and the supplier industry as well as
between the supplier industry and its upstream suppliers. It was deliberately developed universally and made hardware independent. The procedure is usable independently of specific application systems.
The method has been implemented since April 1978 in practical operations and
has proven itself in practice.
1.2 Objective
− Fast data transfer
− Documentary data exchange
− Production and delivery programs at the supplier can be set up quickly than earlier for the new program situation at the customer.
− Telephone or telex messages for delivery schedule changes are reduced because the DFÜ allows immediate information of suppliers.
− Less special measures such as special transports, etc.
− New customer programme planning is available 3 to 5 working days before.
This brings, amongst others, the following advantages:
a) Better planning security (production plan)
b) Increase in readiness for delivery c) Increase in manufacturing flexibility d) Decline of immediate planning
− For each sales item, the demand for all the plants of the customer can be
specified simultaneously.
− Depending on the degree of integration of the DFÜ process into the sales
and materials management systems at the supplier, there are further advantages:
a) No expense in data collection b) No registration errors c) No manual transfer of delivery schedule data to vendor-owned
documents
d) Computer supported assignment of customer data, e.g.
- to supplier’s item number
- to supplier’s order number - Adjustment of customer position with “on-the-way delivery” - Determination of demand increases, reductions, changes of dates against the current supplier planning
VDA Recommendation 4905 - 4 - Issue 04, April 1996
- Scheduling of the new delivery instructions
- Immediate check for available inventory for immediate needs.
e) The delivery schedule data sent by data transmission are binding until
the arrival of specified corrections or until the next data transfer of delivery schedule data.
1.3 Definition and Fundamentals
Definition of delivery schedule
Delivery schedules are primarily used in the automotive industry to update demands that change in quantity and time at specific time intervals. A new delivery schedule completely replaces a previous delivery schedule. The DFÜ delivery schedule transfers data that is also contained in the delivery order form.
The VDA standard form “Delivery Schedule (Lieferabruf)" is described in VDA Recommendation 4904. The standard form VDA4904 is sent only to suppliers who do not have a DFÜ.
Fundamentals
The basis of this application are the agreements made in the VDA work group “Vordruckwesen / Datenaustausch”. It contains
- uniform sentence structures, - standardised data elements in the automotive industry, - uniform field lengths, field types, codes,
that are used as a binding programming basis between the DFÜ- participants.
For the DFÜ of delivery schedule data, if available, international or national customary keys (codes) are used, which are converted into user-specific keys
as required. For reasons of cost, not all data from the delivery schedule form is transmitted by DFÜ. Only the data are sent that were absolutely required by the DFÜ users and specified in the VDA-AKVD .
1.4 Changes compared to previous version
The following changes led to the 4th edition of VDA recommendation 4905:
• Extension by record type 515 "Additional LAB information",
• Date Encryption Presentation Note "555555,
• Revision of the verbal description,
• Limit sentence type 518 to 5 repetitions,
• Recording a date "Progress number reached at zero".
VDA Recommendation 4905 - 5 - Issue 04, April 1996
2 RECORD TYPES
In order to be able to transfer the necessary data functionally coherent, corresponding data records were developed. The structure of these data records including the assigned record types, data elements, field lengths, field types, etc. can be found in the attachments.

3 TEST CONDITIONS
For the data exchange between SUPPLIERS and CUSTOMERS the following test conditions are to be considered. They are in accordance with the
regulations of the VDA working group “Vordruckwesen/ Datenaustausch” and documented in the VDA-AKVD data catalogue (VDABASE).
3.1 Permitted record types
Record type Description
511 Intended delivery schedule data (1x per DFÜ)

point)
Record types 511 and 519 are mandatory at the beginning and at the end of a DFÜ.
VDA Recommendation 4905 - 6 - Issue 04, April 1996
3.1.1 Description of the data structure
511 512 519 M 1 M 1 M 1 513 M 1 514 515 517 518 K R K 1 K R K 5
M - mandatory K - optional
511 must be the first sentence of a logical transmission. 512 must be at 511 and may be at 513, 514, 515, 517, or 518.
513 must follow 512. 514 may follow at 513 or 514 (retrieval dates must be ascending) *.
515 may follow at 513 or 514. 517 may follow at 513, 514, 515 or 517.
518 may follow 513, 514, 515, 517 or 518. 519 may follow at 513, 514, 515, 517 or 518 and must be the last sentence of a logical transmission.
* Exceptions are the regulations for the data keys
000000, 222222, 333333, 444444, 555555.
3.1.2 Example:
Must Can Frequency
511 Once per DFÜ
512 Once per part number and plant
513 Once per part number and plant
514 x times per part number and plant
515 Once per part number and plant
517 x times per part number and plant
518 Max. 5 times per part number and plant
519 Once per DFÜ
VDA Recommendation 4905 - 7 - Issue 04, April 1996
3.2 Valid version number
The version number used by the data admin of each record type must match the version number used by the data receiver. A change of the version number must be agreed in good time between the DFÜ partners and be incorporated into the corresponding program check routines before the date of the
assignment.
3.3 Formal examination of data fields
All data fields of a record type must be in accordance with the formal provisions centrally administered under the version number in the VDA data catalogue
(VDABASE).
Numerically defined fields are to be regarded as non-compressed decimal and filled right-justified with leading zeros. If the fields are not used, they are to be filled with zeros.
3.4 Logical examination of data fields
Individual examinations are chosen from different record types to ensure that each DFÜ participant receives only the data intended for him.
3.5 Customer number / supplier number
The connection between Customer and supplier number used in the record type 511 must match the number registered with the recipient.
3.6 Control totals
The counter readings determined in record type 519 must agree with the
counter readings determined with the data receiver. In the case of deviations, the data communication is invalid and must be repeated completely.
3.7 Old/New Transmission number
The data admin allocates both the old and new transmission number per DFÜ
and subject area both. This will allow for the necessary equality of transfers between the relevant partners per sector. A continuously increasing allocation of a new transmission number is not mandatory.
VDA Recommendation 4905 - 8 - Issue 04, April 1996
4 INTERNAL SUPPLY PROCESSING
4.1 Defining argument / search keys
The following defining arguments must be taken into account:
- customer plant,
- customer item number, - order number (i.e. frame contract),
- unloading point.
Mentioned above Order terms can be assigned to the data recipient of the corresponding order / call.
Based on the customer's item number, the supplier's item number can be
determined using a reference file.
4.2 Processing
The delivery schedule data received via DFÜ should be immediately stored, checked, counted and supplemented, for example:
− Supplier's own customer number
− Supplier's own product number
− Supplier's own order number
− Product description / name
− Cost center / manufacturing site
− Storage location
− Packaging information (packaging number and loading capacity)
− Comparison with deliveries en-route
− Determination of demand increases, reductions and date shifts compared to the current planning with the supplier
− Consideration of the new delivery schedule in the production plan or in the dispatch area
− Immediate check for available inventory for immediate needs
− Converting the order data into user-defined data (for example according to the plant calendar)
− The new delivery schedule always completely replaces the "old" delivery
schedule
− Synchronization with the daily detailed call-off DFÜ at short range
4.3 Cumulative received quantity
The cumulative quantity includes all deliveries that are positively or negatively
booked by the customer from a certain point of time (for example, from 1.1 of the year) until the effective date of the current delivery instruction invoice. From
VDA Recommendation 4905 - 9 - Issue 04, April 1996
the difference between the supplier's cumulative delivery quantity and the
customer's cumulative receipt quantity, for e.g. quantity still en route can be derived.
The zero setting of the cumulative received quantity (SA 511, version 02, item 08) is transmitted in the first run after the conversion. The conversion date
applies to all parts of the supplier. Therefore, all parts should be included in the first run after zeroing. The conversion of the cumulative quantity can also have retroactive effect, but this must be done within a period of 2 months.
4.4 Composition of error messages
Corresponding error checks are to be provided in the application. Can be seen as examples amongst others:
− Item number of the customer is missing in the master file
− Unloading point not present in the master file
− The details of the last delivery (date, quantity, cumulative quantity, delivery note no.) cannot be identified
− Packaging data from LAB-DFÜ differs from supplier information (packaging number and capacity)
