New VDA message 4984 T2 Global DELFOR – Implementing delivery planning data – Training
What has changed compared to previous messages and what should you pay attention to?

29. September 2021 @ 09:00 – 17:00 CEST
Automotive enterprises are currently implementing the new VDA Recommendation 4984 Global DELFOR. The VDA Recommendation 4984 deals with data interchange related to scheduling agreements, delivery schedules and, in some cases, JIT delivery schedules. What has changed compared to the “old” VDA messages? What is new? What should you pay special attention to?
Many OEMs and suppliers have contributed their know-how of delivery processes and information to modernise the VDA recommendation DELFOR, furthermore the new recommendation has been harmonised with the global EDI messages of the automotive supply chain. As a result, an EDIFACT-based, up-to-date recommendation is ready for implementation by the automotive industry and the automotive supply industry, which takes better account of the requirements of the globalized economy and makes processes more transparent and flexible.
The VDA Recommendation for the data transmission of delivery schedules replaces the VDA Recommendations 4905 and 4915 as well as various variants. In the case of VW this means the replacement of even eight “old” VDA messages, thus reducing complexity and offering savings potential for all parties involved. The application area of the DELFOR message includes the transmission of scheduling agreements and delivery schedules as well as JIT delivery schedules via EDI with EDIFACT.
Will you be implementing VDA 4984 Global DELFOR for the transmission of scheduling agreement data via EDI in the near future and adapting it to your requirements? To support your implementation tasks and as an introduction to the VDA 4984 Global Delivery Forecast, GEFEG offers the following 1-day training, which is aimed at planners and implementers who are getting started with the planning of this message and / or are interested in the differences to previously used messages.
