Usage & Waste Report
GCA Standard 137-1999

An industry standard for printers to report paper usage and waste data to print customers, all in the EDI/X12 standard and Y2K complaint! Usage and Waste Report for Paper provides a standard format for printing companies to send data, many of which they normally collect for their own management reporting, to print customers furnishing paper for the job. It enables printers to provide usage and waste reports at various levels of detail to meet the needs of print customers.

Usage and Waste Report for Paper uses the same transaction set as the Paper Quality EDI Transaction (PAQET) issued by GCA in 1995, thus offering one basic format for runnability reports sent to customers and paper mills.

The document gives examples of this transaction showing detailed-level reports by individual roll numbers as well as summary reports by purchase order.

The transaction follows the North American (X12) standard for EDI, using the latest version that provides eight-digit date fields complaint with Y2K requirements. The document includes examples of the transaction as well as an updated list of pressroom operation codes for EDI transactions (GCA standard 133-1998).

A working group chaired by Gerry Galewski of Perry Judd's Inc. developed Shipping Schedule for Paper Used in Publishing and Printing. This working group is part of GCA's Electronic Data Interchange Committee chaired by Bill Orndorff, also of Perry Judd's Inc. and Brian Scharlach of McGraw-Hill Companies.
