Subject: RE: [ubl-dev] Use of UN/ECE rec28 in UBL cbc:TransportMeansTypeCode
Looks like you need two elements to be used: cbc:TransportModeCode for the ‘Mode’ of the table and cbc:TransportMeansTypeCode for the Code-A and Code-B concatenated Cheers, Roland Van: Duvekot, Kees [mailto:kduvekot@Wehkamp.nl] All, I was wondering if there are any recommendations on how to use the UN/ECE rec28 (CODES FOR TYPES OF MEANS OF TRANSPORT) in the cbc:TransportMeansTypeCode If I look at the spreadsheet with the codes of Rec28 I do not see a single code .. but actually three elements: Mode Code-A Code-B If I look for example to Code-A value 30 I see the following table
So now the question is .. what code do I use in the single element cbc:TransportMeansTypeCode? In the text of the recommendation it says: Code 3 character alphanumeric code value comprising characters 0 to 9 and upper case A to Z. …. For ease of reference, certain code values are shown in two parts (e.g. "50 1". In use, the code value should be a single value with no imbedded space characters (e.g. "501") So it looks like at least Code-A and Code-B should be concatenated together .. but that does not lead to a unique code (see above table ... 30 can be a “Train, freight” or a “Bus” .. and 301 can be a “Blocktrain” or a “Bus, with trailer”) So that means that the Mode should be included to make the completely unique code. So the code for a “Train, freight” would be 230 and the code for a “Bus, with trailer” would be 3301. But is that also the general accepted rule? If not everybody is using the same convention then this might lead to confusion because the two approaches (A+B vs M+A+B) can generate codes that look the same .. but mean different things. In the A+B approach code 31 means " Pushtow, one gas/tank barge” where in the Mode+A+B it means " Truck“) Kees Duvekot Ps: If this email should be directed to a different list where UN/ECE rec’s are discussed .. then please let me know |
