VICS Bill of Lading (BOL) What is a VICS BOL?
The VICS BOL is a standardized BOL that a consortium of shippers and carriers developed to meet the express needs of all parties. The VICS BOL was created to ensure that shippers, carriers and customers (consignees) received the information they needed to process goods through the supply chain. Included with the standard BOL form is a standard BOL number. The BOL number has become a critical data element with the advent of the EDI 856 Ship Notice Manifest. The standard BOL form and number will ensure that all key data elements are present and documented uniformly. This will support the needs of all parties in the supply chain and support accurate EDI 214 Carrier Shipment Status transmissions. Where can I find more information about the VICS BOL?

When do I use a VICS BOL?
Most large U.S. retailers request that you use the VICS BOL, and may require its use. Please contact your consignee to determine whether you need to use a VICS BOL for your goods. How do I create an electronic VICS BOL?
YRC offers two electronic tools—ExpressWORKS® and our online BOL on my.yrc.com—that will produce an electronic VICS BOL that meets VICS committee guidelines. You need only enter the information, and both tools will format the BOL for printing. They also submit the BOLs electronically to YRC, thus ensuring the data is captured correctly. A VICS BOL created using either e-commerce tool complies with Walmart requirements.
