I Received Rejection Code 059 A01/M13 REQ AS OF ACT/ARR. What Does it Mean?
The rejection code 059 – A01/M13 REQ AS OF ACT/ARR pertains to the Automated Manifest System (AMS) used in ocean freight processing. This error indicates issues with the transmission of bill of lading (BOL) data after the vessel's arrival.
Understanding the Rejection Code:
Code 059: This code signifies a problem related to the transmission of BOL information post-vessel arrival.
A01/M13: These identifiers refer to specific segments within the AMS data structure. "A01" denotes the bill of lading record, and "M13" refers to the action code segment.
REQ AS OF ACT/ARR: This phrase suggests that the action code (M13) is required as of the actual arrival date. The error arises when the system expects an action code to be transmitted at the time of arrival, but it is either missing or incorrectly transmitted.
Possible Causes:
Incorrect Action Code Usage: Using the wrong action code (e.g., "K01" cancellation instead of "A01" add) when adding a bill after vessel arrival can trigger this error.
Duplicate Transmission: Submitting the same bill multiple times after vessel arrival can lead to this rejection.
Recommended Resolutions:
Resubmit as Add: If re-transmitting a bill after a rejection, submit it as an "Add" action to update the manifest correctly.
Check for Duplicates: Confirm that the bill has not been previously transmitted to avoid duplicate submissions.
