Build codes.
Unscheduled:
BA
– order entered in system by dealer
BB – fleet order only – review by bid department
BD – special equipment processing
BE – edit error – coding error which must be corrected before order can be scheduled
BG – order has passes edit but cannot be scheduled regardless of sold status
BX – good order available for scheduling

Reason Codes:
F – Finance hold – automatic cancellation after 15 days
B – Model or option build out. Your order exists but isn't fully confirmed yet. Plant doesn't know about it yet. Systems are checking the order to ensure it's valid in terms of sales codes.
L – Material restriction
M – Material hold (fleet)
ZA – canceled order

Scheduled:
C – Tentative schedule. Your order is "subfirm". The plant can see the order at this point but it's not fully committed to building as the supplier may or may not be able to get parts to the plant to build the vehicle.
D – Firm schedule: serial number assigned. Firm order. Your order now has a name instead of a number:
D1 – Gate line: unit sequenced for production, est. ship date assigned.
The date is set for your truck to be built. The plant knows when it should have parts sequenced for building and it should start to be built within 48 hours of the date set.
D2 - It's going to be built. The computers are being programmed, materials are being sequenced, framing is about to occur.

Build:
E – Framing. Metal is welded together to form the body and frame. The body is inspected at the end of this step to ensure it's within tolerances.
F – Paint. The metal is coated, primed, sprayed, clearcoated, polished, inspected, and hand finished if necessary.
G – Trim. The engine is installed in the chassis, the interior is installed, the chassis is mated to the body, the bed is put on. At the end of this, your new vehicle is built.

Built:
I – unit built, pending final inspection. Your vehicle goes through a battery of shakedown tests and measurements are taken to ensure the vehicle looks and performs as expected.
J – Vehicle passed final inspection but not released to carrier
JB – shipped to body vendor. JB/KZP-The vehicle is sent off site to have a spray liner put in, steps, etc.
JE – shipped to emissions
JJ – consigned to body vendor
JS – shipped to storage
KZ – released by plant and invoiced. The truck is ready to be shipped. The dealer is actually charged for the truck. As you all know, this can be a source of delay. Typically you see two statuses here: Awaiting Shipment and "Staged for Shipment".

You can get your (Monroney) window sticker here (add your VIN to the end) once it's KZ-L or KZ-M: https://www.chrysler.com/hostd/windowsticker/getWindowStickerPdf.do?vin=

Traffic Codes:
KZ L – released but not shipped
KZ M – first rail departure
KZ N – first rail arrival
KZ O – delayed/received
KZ OA – plant hold, quality audit
KZ OB – zone, dealer, sales, vehicle prep, tax, diversion or derailment hold, dealer refusal, vehicle diverted
KZ OC – carrier delay, strike-bound, emission or safety hold, rail car shortage, bad or insufficient load, inclement weather, need shipping order, manifest error
KZ OD – mechanical failure, glass damage, vehicle in repair, lacking parts or storage hold
KZ OE – misdropped or misshipped vehicle
KZ OF – shipped air freight, stolen vehicle recovered, show vehicle, test info code, vessel sailed
KZ OG – damaged vehicle, stolen vehicle, abandon to carrier, vehicle scrapped, donate vehicle, repair and auction
KZ OH – all other “O” type carrier codes
KZ T – second rail departure
KZ U – second rail arrival
KZ X – delivered to dealer
KZ Y1 – major damage – must not be sold as new
KZ Y2 – major damage – vehicle sold at auction

KZX - Delivered to your dealer!

KZX - Delivered to your dealer!
My truck was at the I phase last Monday 8/17/20...Do you have any idea how much longer my wait for delivery will be here on okla city??? THANKS!!!!!!!!!
 
I received an email from RAM stating my order number and estimated delivery date of 17 Oct 20. My dealer placed the order on 12 Aug 20.
 
I didn't contact them or my dealer at all. I'm guessing my dealer entered into the system.
 
I received an email from RAM stating my order number and estimated delivery date of 17 Oct 20. My dealer placed the order on 12 Aug 20.
I ordered mine on the 12th or 13th and got the same email delivery date. I assume the dealer has provided the email address woth the order, but I also get other emails from Ram about my current truck..
 
seems crazy having 2020's still being built. You would think buy now they would kicking out 2021 MY.
 
Today is 18 weeks I have been waiting on my 20 Bighorn to get here!!! (low volume color-new holland blue)
 
How long have you been waiting???
I ordered mine on Aug 12th. I am hoping the factory would have notified my dealer if this build combo was not going to be available due to not enough volume. I left my dealer instructions to change the color automatically if this happened. Check with my dealer yesterday, it is still in D status.
 
It should move to D1 status in 2 or 3 weeks I believe. May we need to make a trip to Mexico. (LOL)
 
Great post brutal.
Wish I had all that info when I ordered and the virus hit. Would have made inquiries much easier.
You must of been fallen asleep at the wheel John, we had posted probably 5 or 6 different links for build codes when we were waiting on our builds. Lol :p
 
Where do you see these codes which refer to your truck order?
Either call or chat with ramchat or your dealer can pull up this info but there not as acomdating as most of us were chatting with ramchat everyday or so as we were very anxious for progress. They just pull it up in the computer and it shows a code, unfortunately the buyer doesn't have personnel access to this info so you have to rely on ram. I just hit the chat button and after a few questions, you have your answer.
 
Hello everyone, I am new to this site and looking for some info. I ordered a new 2021, 2500 6.4 on 9-4-2020 my dealer gave me a vin but I have tried everything to get some info on my build. I logged into my mopar site as I have a ram 1500 since 2013, tried to add a vehicle to my dashboard with the vin, with no luck. Tried the fcacommunity page and with no luck and tried the ramchat and got a message to contact a dealer for the information. Dealer says since he has a vin everything is ok. I would just like to follow my build. This is my tuck, it says 2020 on this build sheet but it will be a 2021. https://www.ramtrucks.com/bmo.ram_2...P,ARC,AHU,JKV,LHL,BAJ,LNC,GPG,GFA,XMF,UAM,2ZA

Thanks: CARNEYM

There's no online resource you can tap to follow a build except getting codes from FCA chat. If they won't (odd) then you'll have to pester the dealer a few times. If you have a VIN, it's at least D1 and should squirt out the other side in a few weeks depending on current plant runs. Pre-Covid, I ordered 1-15-20, VIN 2 days later (D1), it was built 2-12, reported railhead 2-28 (KZM), and delivered to dealer 3-9 (KZX)
