Hi Tim,
Have gone
thru the sample waybill xml
instance. Just a couple of queries/clarification.
1. This is
an air waybill
yes
2. Final
delivery transport service is
'pier-to-pier'. Shouldn't it be like in the Excel file for the common
library,
which mentions 'pier-to-door'. Also is ‘pier’ correct, since we’re
shipping the goods by air?
pier-to-pier is legitimate but as you say probably not for air
freight. the original document was sea freight but i changed it to
airfreight to support the status documents andy is working on.
however i did not really think it through well enough. so i suggest we
rethink the shipment stages.
3. Transport
mode type refers to the mode
of transport. The value of 3 as per un/ece rec 16 in section 3.4 is the
classifier code for location, refers to the road terminal. Are we using
the
correct un/ece rec?
well spotted! it was meant to say un/ece recommendation 19 (Modes of
Transport).
4. Shipment
stage has land and air, goods
end at airport and not the final destination. Is this correct?.
yes, i wanted to show that the consignee was responsible for final
delivery but this may be too complex and lets make it simpler and ship
door-to-door.
I’ll go thru
it further and send
more feedback, if any.

As discussed here is the
updated Waybill
document. I also included the stylesheets from ken, so if you save
these
all into the directory that contains the waybill schema you should be
able to
view the layout as a table. i use XMLSpy and the XSL layout option.
