Re: [ubl-dev] UBL for sending Shipping Line rates

[JAVEST <roberto@javest.com>]

Hello Mark,

the only project related to Freight Management I remember is "USDOT 
Electronic Freight Management (EFM)" but I think it was not specifically 
designed for rates.

It appears the UBL 2.0 document most similar for your use is the Quotation.
At the moment we do not have a precise Freight Quotation which should 
contain some more data you listed below.

However UBL 2.0 has already the BIE (Business info entities) you require 
available into the common library.
Below I list the BIE you could use to create a Freight Quotation by 
using the actual Quotation as a template.

I seen from your description the line item data are the rates:
- cost of sea container delivering
- ocean freight
- line freight surcharges (BAF, CAF, etc.)
- agent’s fee
- your commission fee for other brokers and clients
- ....

For rates you can evaluate the QuotationLine entity on the Quotation 
document which is the best suited for your purpose.
Again it could be possible you'll need to personalize it.

It could be useful the use of UBL Swinger CE 1.1 an UBL free editor 
which is suitable to traverse the UBL documents and evaluate the BIE too.

Speed-up instructions:
- Choose a schema from the Catalog (defaults to UBL 2.0) using the 2nd 
button on the toolbar.
- You can both select a document like "Quotation" or inspect for example 
"UBL Common Aggregate Components" where you can find for instance the 
"CarrierParty".

For customization projects I suggest you to contact Mr. Tim McGrath 
(Vice chair of UBL TC)
tmcgrath@portcomm.com.au

He's both an UBL expert and business expert expecially on the shipping area.

Morover the UBL 2.1 sub-version which is under development could contain 
some more BIE of your interest, I suggest you keep in contact with UBL 
TSC (Transport SubCommittee)
