Direct Store Delivery (DSD) Summary Information is a transaction set used by distributors and suppliers to report consolidated delivery and invoice data to retail customers. Typically sent by a supplier or distributor to a retail chain, warehouse, or store network, it summarizes multiple deliveries or invoices for a specified period. The transaction set is often sent in response to a retailer’s request for consolidated billing or as part of standard DSD reporting procedures. Key segments include the G47 (Statement Identification) segment, which establishes the reporting period and summary reference; the N1 loop, which identifies the parties involved such as the retailer, distribution center, and delivery locations; and the G48 loop, which contains individual invoice or delivery details that roll up into the summary.

Consider a beverage distributor such as Regional Beverages Inc. sending an 882 to SuperMart retail chain at the end of the month. The G47 segment identifies this as the September summary report. The N1 loop specifies SuperMart’s corporate office as the receiver, the distribution center as the ship-to location, and Regional Beverages as the supplier. Within the G48 loop, each individual store delivery—SuperMart Store #101 receiving cases on September 15, Store #214 receiving cases on September 22—is listed with its corresponding invoice data. The G33 segment in each G48 detail provides line totals, and the final G49 segment provides the grand total of all deliveries and charges for the month, giving SuperMart a single consolidated view of all DSD activity from Regional Beverages Inc.
