RE: [ubl-dev] Specific time declarations for shipment stages

[Mark Brown <mark_brown@toll.com.au>]

Hi Martin,

 

Unfortunately we encountered the same problem for Actual Dates.

Our solution was to extend the UBL (a Toll Version of UBL 2.0). This is only used internally. The extension created a new element group

"TollShipmentStage" with a very simply structure.

ATD = Manifest/ManifestDetail/cac:Shipment/cac:ShipmentStage[0]/cac:TollShipmentStage/cac:Period[0]/cbc:StartDate

ATA = Manifest/ManifestDetail/cac:Shipment/cac:ShipmentStage[0]/cac:TollShipmentStage/cac:Period[0]/cbc:EndDate

 

Externally to trading partners we utilise the use of agreed qualifiers.

e.g

ETD = ns:BillOfLading/cac:Shipment/cac:ShipmentStage[0]/cac:TransitPeriod/cbc:StartDate

       = ns:BillOfLading/cac:Shipment/cac:ShipmentStage[0]/cac:TransitPeriod/cbc:DescriptionCode[0]/*body = "ESTIMATED"

ETA = ns:BillOfLading/cac:Shipment/cac:ShipmentStage[0]/cac:TransitPeriod/cbc:EndDate

       = ns:BillOfLading/cac:Shipment/cac:ShipmentStage[0]/cac:TransitPeriod/cbc:DescriptionCode[0]/*body = "ESTIMATED"

ATD = ns:BillOfLading/cac:Shipment/cac:ShipmentStage[0]/cac:TransitPeriod/cbc:StartDate

       = ns:BillOfLading/cac:Shipment/cac:ShipmentStage[0]/cac:TransitPeriod/cbc:DescriptionCode[0]/*body = "ACTUAL"

ATA = ns:BillOfLading/cac:Shipment/cac:ShipmentStage[0]/cac:TransitPeriod/cbc:EndDate

       = ns:BillOfLading/cac:Shipment/cac:ShipmentStage[0]/cac:TransitPeriod/cbc:DescriptionCode[0]/*body = "ACTUAL"

This does rely on duplication of shipment stages though. It requires each leg to be provided twice.

This has only been implemented with one trading partner. Most integration occurs within the Toll Group.

 

I am Interested in other thoughts.

Subject: [ubl-dev] Specific time declarations for shipment stages

Hello,

I am working on extending UBL for my purposes. I want 
to describe a transport consisting of two phases within one document (forwarding 
instructions). Therefore I used "cac:ShipmentStage" within the shipment 
declarations. But I found that you can only store the actual time spend at the 
individual track. Is that right? I want to define "estimatedDeliveryTime" and 
"requestedDeliveryTime" for every part of an ongoing transport. Right now, I am 
only able to make such specific time declarations in the global definition of 
the transport within the "cac:delivery" element.

Do you know a way to 
make such time definitions?

Thanks,
Martin
