1.1. Background and objective

The Peppol BIS provides a set of specifications for implementing Peppol business documents. The specifications enable any company to issue electronic documents that fulfill legal and business processing requirement within the European Union and the EEA. It supports a subset of information that is used by most industries and enables users to issue documents (invoices, orders, despatch advices, etc…) that are valid for cross border trade within the European Union and the EEA.

The purpose of this document is to describe a common format for the Transportation Status Request and the Transportation Status message in the European market, and to facilitate an efficient implementation and increased use of electronic collaboration regarding the transportation process based on these formats.

1.2. Audience

The audience for this document is organizations wishing to be PEPPOL enabled for exchanging electronic business documents, and/or their ICT-suppliers.

These organizations may be:

  • Service providers

  • Contracting Authorities

  • Economic Operators

  • Software Developers

More specifically it is addressed towards the following roles:

  • ICT Architects

  • ICT Developers

  • Business Experts

For further information, please see PEPPOL BIS common text and introduction.

2. Principles and prerequisites

This chapter describes the principles and assumptions that underlie the use of the Transportation Status with Request.

The Transportation Status Request and the Transportation Status are used to exchange information about the status of a transport. A Transportation Status Request is used to request a transport status. A Transportation Status is used to report the status as a response to the request.

2.1. Business processes in scope

The processes covered by this profile are:

  • The Transportation Status Request is used to request the status of a transport.

  • The Transportation Status is used to report the status of a transport as a 1..1 response to a Transportation Status Request.

The main activities supported by this message are:

  • Report status on a transport based on a request for status on

    • All executions statuses for a shipment, a consignment or a transport handling unit

    • Deviations

2.2. Parties and roles

The table below gives the definitions of the parties and roles involved in the Transportation Status with Request process.

Business partners Definition

Transport User

The Transport User is the user of the transport service, often the consignor.

Transport Service Provider

The Transport Service Provider is the provider of the transprot services, often the carrier.
Role/actor Definition

4. Semantic datatypes

Semantic data types are used to bridge the gap between the semantic concepts expressed by the information elements and the technical implementation. The semantic data types define the allowed value domain for the content, and any additional information components (attributes) needed in order to ensure its precise interpretation.

4.1. Primitive types

Semantic data type content may be of the following primitive types. These primitive types were taken from ISO 15000-5:2014, Appendix A.

Primitive type Definition

Binary

A set of finite-length sequences of binary digits.

Date

Time point representing a calendar day on a time scale consisting of an origin and a succession of calendar ISO 8601:2004.

Decimal

A subset of the real numbers, which can be represented by decimal numerals.

String

A finite sequence of characters.

4.2. Semantic data types

The different semantic data types are described in the tables below, where various features such as attributes, format, and decimals as well as the basic type are defined for each semantic data type. They are based on ISO 15000-5:2014.

When used in an instance document, each data element will contain data. In the below tables this is identified as the “content”. Whenever a business term is used this term shall always have content and therefore the content is always mandatory.

4.2.1. Amount

An amount states a numerical monetary value. The currency of the amount is defined as a separate business term.

Amount is floating up to two fraction digits.

5. Code lists

5.1. Code lists for coded elements

Any element with the semantic data type = code, can mandate the use of a specific code list (or a fixed value). The applicable code lists can be found under Code lists in the top-menu bar. There you can find the valid codes, their names and description, and also links to where the same code list is used elsewhere in the transaction, or in other Logistics documents. Below are examples on usage of code lists for identifiers being used in all formats.

5.2. Code list for identifiers - Examples of usage

5.2.1. Party identifiers and party legal registration identifier scheme

All party identifiers (cac:PartyIdentification/cbc:ID) and party legal registration identifier (cac:PartyLegalEntity/cbc:CompanyID) has an optional scheme identifier attribute (@schemeID). If used, the value shall be chosen from the ICD code list.

Examples of usage in cac:PartyIdentification
<cac:PartyIdentification>
        <cbc:ID schemeID="0088">5790000435968</cbc:ID> (1)
</cac:PartyIdentification>
1 schemeID attribute is optional, but when used, the codes must be from the ICD code list.

5.2.2. Electronic address identifier scheme identifier

All electronic address identifiers (cbc:EndpointID/@schemeID) use the Electronic Address Scheme code list (EAS), maintained by CEF.

Valid values are found in the EAS code list.

Examples of usage in cbc:EndpointID
<cbc:EndpointID schemeID="0184">DK87654321</cbc:EndpointID> (1)
1 schemeID attribute is mandatory

7. Peppol Identifiers

PEPPOL has defined a PEPPOL Policy for identifiers, policy 8 that specifies how to use identifiers in both its transport infrastructure and within the documents exchanged across that infrastructure. It also introduces principles for any identifiers used in the PEPPOL environment. The policies that apply to this BIS are the following:

7.1. Profiles and messages

All messages contains ProfileID and CustomizationID. ProfileID identifies what business process a given message is part of, and CustomizationID identifies the kind of message and the rules applied.

Profiles are connected to one business process, and may contain multiple document types. Valid document instances shall contain corresponding ProfileID and CustomizationID.

CustomizationID is a string without spaces. The list below contains spaces in CustomizationID to make them easier to read. Make sure to remove any spaces before use.

7.2. Customization and Profile identifiers

In the table below you will find the values to be used as the specification identifier and the business process type for this profile.

Type Element cbc:CustomizationID Element cbc:ProfileID
