Dear Henk,
Thank you for your constructive input. I solicit any further comments from
this TSC list and any suggestions as to a way forward. As you saw in the
initial email we need to be consistent within the UBL data dictionary and a
broader transport community understanding is also important.
Regards,
Andy Schoka

Subject: Re: TSC Action Item FollowUp
Dear Andy,
Within UN/CEFACT (agreed by both transport and trade) the word shipment
refers
to the collection of goods items between the seller and the buyer under a
commercial contract, and the word consignment is used for the collection of
goods items between the consignor and the consignee under a transport
contract.
I recommend the UBL-TSC to follow the same mechanism for consistency
reasons.
A shipment certainly is not a set of arrangements.
Regards,
Henk van Maaren
