UN/CEFACT experts

UN / CEFACT developed and published the e-CMR electronic document format, which is implemented as a subset of the reference data model for multimodal transport (MMT RDM). The results of UN / CEFACT work are documented in the following documents: "Sample Electronic Consignment Note" and "Specification of requirements for conducting business operations with an Electronic Consignment Note".

As part of a project to adapt a data model for multimodal transport with documents used within transport corridors, employees PPL 33-35 LLC as UN / CEFACT experts conducted structure verification e-CMR with actual documents used in Ukraine and defined differences in data elements

Based on the analysis performed in UN / CEFACT, changes were made to the MMT data model. The result is a standard e-CMR document that meets the UN / CEFACT requirements and is applicable to practical use in Ukraine.
