Currently the main issues identified are;
- Package view vs Product view - this is a stated objective to ensure the model caters for both messages that have Package line items or Product Line items - or both. In the Business Requirements List (5.2.2.1) of the Despatch Advice, Hierarchy is a superset of Trade Line Item "By these means it is possible to differentiate between package driven transactions and product driven transactions as well as inner-to-outer or outer-to-inner package logic". This also caters for Packages in Packages i.e "parent" packages.
- The main parties indentified are the Ship-To and Ship-From. The Business Requirements Listadds in additional parties. Do we need to amend this and cater for the scenario where the Goods owner/manufacturer actually transmits the Despatch Advice and the Ship-From (3rd party logistics provider) simply notifies the Goods Owner manually?
