EDI via SFTP – SCANINFO

Tracking Made Possible via Flatfile Integration

Introduction

We offer a flatfile format named “SCANINFO”, which is a simple text-based file format designed for easy data exchange and processing. This format is used for both regular shipments and collection request parcels. (UTF-8 encoded, semicolon-delimited) that includes all scans performed on your parcels. These scan files are exported every 30 minutes and made available for download and integration in a private SFTP folder.
Naming Convention
For regular shipments, the filename follows this format:

SCANINFO_****_D<Date YYYYMMDD>T<Timestamp HHmmss>_<6 digit random number>

Example: SCANINFO_BE0000_D20250117T133125_123456

Each part of the filename has a specific meaning:
- SCANINFO: Indicates the file type.
- BE0000: Represents the customer ID.
- D20250117: The date in YYYYMMDD format.
- T133125: The time in HHmmss format.
- 123456: A 6-digit random number for uniqueness.
For collection requests, filenames will start with SCANINFOCR_.
How to Request

If you have not already received an SFTP account during onboarding, you can request one by contacting it.cs@dpd.be. If Sales assistance is required, please reach out to them first. Alternatively, reach out to Sales if this option is unavailable.
