Hello UBL TC,
The TSC appears to have reached agreement on the matter referenced
in the appended message from Andy Schoka. This is the last item
needing resolution before we can finish spreadsheet changes for
the update package. If you agree with these revised definitions
in the (slightly edited) form shown immediately below, do nothing.
If you disagree, send notice to this list no later than COB
Tuesday 5 February 2008.
Shipment: An identifiable collection of one or more goods items
to be transported between the seller party and the buyer
party. This information may be defined within a commercial
contract. A shipment can be transported in different
consignments (e.g., split for logistical purposes).
Consignment: An identifiable collection of one or more goods
items to be transported between the consignor and the
consignee. This information may be defined within a transport
contract. A consignment may comprise more than one shipment
(e.g., when consolidated by a freight forwarder).
