VGM Tracking and Accountability

When it comes to tracking the VGM, you can track which party recorded or updated the VGM with the VGM Verifier field, referred to as the vgmEntity in EDI xml files.

You can also view all changes to the VGM through the History Events Details for the unit.

Here’s an example of what you see when a terminal user updates the VGM for a unit:

The Gross Weight Source indicates whether the last gross weight update came from EDI, USER (manual update), or VGM if updated by an auto-update from the VGM Weight (kg) field. See Push VGM to XPS Gross Weight field (on page 1) for more information.
