Bill of lading (B / L)

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic bill of lading (B / L)

The present invention relates to a system for distributing an electronic bill of lading, and more particularly, to an electronic bill of lading distribution management system and an electronic billing system for electronically performing processes such as issuance, transfer, purchase and presentation for electronic distribution of bill of lading .

Among the shipping documents, Bill of Lading (B / L) is the most important document in the trade business. The main utility of the bill of lading is to allow the owner of the cargo represented by it to dispose of the cargo that is already in its possession from the cargo and which can be quickly handed over or provided as collateral.

However, the problem is that the recent advances in information communication, including the advancement of freight transportation systems, such as the enlargement and speeding up of ships and aircraft, the emergence of container transportation systems, cargo handling and cargo terminal functions, The development of information technology has made it possible to shorten the transportation time, so that the 'cargo flow' has become faster, but the corresponding 'flow of documents' has not been shortened, so that the cargo often arrives before the documents.

In this case, the carrier will deliver the cargo only by reimbursing the bill of lading, so the cargo stays while waiting for the arrival of the document at the destination, and even if the cargo is withdrawn by the bank's guarantee without a bill of lading But it does not cost too much. In addition, although the leading delivery is practically customary in order to solve stagnant goods at the destination, there is a problem of causing fraud, and there is also a risk of losing the bill of lading due to the right of security of the bill of lading.

In accordance with this background, in recent trade transactions, paper documents are increasingly replaced by electronic messages. The International Maritime Commission (CMI) has already adopted the "CMI Regulation on Electronic Bill of Lading" and the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Also allowed the presentation by Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) instead of paper documents. In addition, the International Chamber of Commerce recently enacted the eUCP as an additional version of the UCP 500, and enacted unification rules based on the electronic presentation.

In this way, the necessity of electronic bill of lading has been acknowledged in response to changes in the internal and external environment of trade, but legal and practical issues still exist, and it is urgent to introduce a system capable of electronically distributing bill of lading .

Accordingly, the present invention aims at providing an electronic bill-of-material distribution management system and an electronic purchasing system for electronically distributing a bill of lading, and in particular, it electronically implements processes such as issuance, transfer, purchase and presentation, (Shippers), shipping companies, forwarders, and banks.

Finally, the presentation logic consists of presenting the bill of lading as a paper after performing the paper conversion logic as a logic for presentation to the carrier after the original output or electronically presenting in the electronic trading platform.

4 is a functional block diagram of an electronic bill-of-lading distribution management system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, the electronic bill luggage distribution management system 100 of the present invention includes an S / R module 110, an eB / L module 120, a condition / nameplate management module 130, a B / L transmission / ).

The S / R module 110 is a module for request processing of S / R (shipment request) and supports the creation of shipment request (S / R) of shippers and transmits the created shipment request through EAI (Enterprise Application Integration) (Forwarder or forwarder). The S / R module 110 encodes the designation of the consignee and the shipping mark, and implements the process by dividing the transportation company into a shipper or a forwarder.

When the eB / L module 120 receives the electronic bill of lading (eB / L) created by the carrier who received the shipment request, the eB / L module 120 stores the electronic bill of lading in the electronic trade document repository, Is a module for registering the ownership of the electronic bill of lading in the ownership registration system.

At this time, the eB / L module 120 can receive the electronic bill of lading and the fare request form from the carrier, perform the notification of the receipt of the electronic bill of lading to the shipper, and request the freight payment according to the fee bill In this case, after the fare is settled by the shippers, the ownership of the electronic bill of lading is registered.

The eB / L module 120 may include a transmission / reception status inquiry unit 121, a B / L inquiry output unit 122, a B / L assignment unit 123, and a B / L distribution unit 124 .

The B / L transmission / reception status inquiry unit 121 inquires the status of transmission / reception of the bill of lading issued by the shipper or forwarder (transporter), and confirms receipt of the bill of lading and accepts the agreement procedure.

The B / L inquiry output unit 122 is responsible for inquiring / outputting detailed information of the bill of lading issued in connection with the electronic trade document repository. It also converts the text and image of the code transmitted from the shipping company , The function to control the access right to enable only the owner of the corresponding electronic bill of lading to output the original in conjunction with the ownership registration system, a function to display a copy through the watermark after the original output, a function to prevent forgery / Watermark / two-dimensional barcode insertion function, output error detection function, and original output function.

The B / L inquiry output unit 122 may output the combination of the electronic bill of lading data, the signature image, and the company logo image in the form of the electronic bill of lading when the electronic bill of lading is outputted, The terms of the electronic bill of lading may be printed on the next page of the electronic bill of lading. If there is an endorsement of the electronic bill of lading to be outputted, the B / L inquiry output unit 122 can output the entire endorsement details together with the terms.

The B / L transfer unit 123 is a block for changing the ownership of the corresponding electronic bill of lading in association with the ownership registration system upon the purchase order of the shippers, and when the transfer application for the electronic bill of lading is received by the transferor, The owner of the corresponding electronic bill of lading registered in the proprietary registration system with consent is changed from the assignee to the assignee.

The B / L transfer unit 123 provides an output authority control function, a transfer / transfer agreement function, a function to confirm whether the endorsement and endorsement of the endorsement object and endorsement are continued, and a history management function.

In addition, the B / L distribution server 124 has an individual endorsement function and is capable of applying all the business rules (registered name, indicator, back-up knowledge, BID) that are used offline and managing the endorsement history .

Next, the condition / name plate management module 130 is a module that provides a function of registering / inquiring / outputting terms, a name plate, and a signature, and has a function of allowing a user to register a condition, a name plate, a signature, an image scanning function, The function of registering after adjustment, and the function of managing plural terms (front and back).

The B / L transmission / reception module 140 transmits / receives the issued bill of lading through Enterprise Application Integration (EAI).

5 is a diagram for explaining an S / R application and a master B / L issuance association function according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown, when the trader requests the shipment using the electronic trade service of the electronic trading platform (S / R commission), the data necessary for the issuance of the bill of lading is transmitted to the shipping company through EAI. The shipper receives the S / R, generates the master B / L and sends it to the electronic trading platform (XML), and the trading company receives the master B / L and uses it for the subsequent business.

When implementing the shipping request function, the shipping instruction and transport document standard of UN / eDOCS should be fully reflected and shippers should use S / R .

The S / R request details are converted within the electronic trading platform and provided to integrated logistics agencies and shipping companies. Preferably, the EAI of the electronic trading platform converts the S / R submission history into XML data, and transmits the generated XML document to the integrated logistics agency and the shipping company (JMS). The GETHub converts / transmits XML data into EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) data for electronic document exchange, which is received by an integrated logistics organization or carrier. Here, the data transmission / reception between the electronic trading platform and the carrier is performed through a directly connected interface.

On the other hand, the S / R data is stored in the integrated logistics DB, which is used to inquire the location information of the cargo.

Next, the carrier confirms the S / R request and generates / transmits the master B / L. At this time, the master B / L number is converted into EDI data through the self-conversion system, and the master B / L is converted to XML data by the FTP method and transmitted to the electronic trade service terminal (eBMS).

Then, the EAI of the electronic trading platform stores the master B / L (XML) in the electronic trade document repository and registers ownership in the ownership registration system.

The trader can then query the master B / L through the electronic trade archives. At this time, the master B / L's access rights are changed according to the ownership stored in the ownership registration system, and the B / L is used for the purchase (Nego) service thereafter.

6 is a diagram for explaining S / R application and House B / L issuance association function according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, the house B / L issued by the forwarder is issued by the forwarder e-B / L issuance system of the logistics portal service and issued by the integrated logistics agency, and the master company generates the master B / L by referring thereto. The subsequent process is performed in the same process as in the case of the master B / L described with reference to FIG. More specifically, it is as follows.

In FIG. 5, the shippers request the direct shipment using the electronic trading service of the electronic trading platform. In the embodiment of FIG. 6, the shippers request the shipment to the forwarder (S / R request). The forwarder uses the forwarder eB / L issuance system of the logistics portal service to check the contents of the S / R request, and then generates the pre-used S / R, converts it into XML data and transmits it to the integrated logistics agency (JMS) The S / R is converted through the get hub to store the data and use it for the cargo location information inquiry.

In addition, the forwarder simultaneously transmits to the shipper the converted ship-to-ship S / R generated by the forwarder e-B / L issuance system of the logistics portal service into XML data.

The master generates the master B / L with the received S / R information and the house B / L information, converts (EDI) the generated master B / L number and transmits it to the integrated logistics institution via FTP. The information is converted into XML and transmitted to the EAI of the electronic trading platform (ebMS).

On the other hand, the Forwarder e-B / L issuance system creates / issues the house B / L based on the master B / L sent by the shipping company to the EAI, stores it in the electronic trade document repository and registers ownership in the ownership registration system. The house B / L number is transferred to the integrated logistics organization through EAI.

The trading company can inquire the house B / L through the e-trade document repository, and the e-B / L access rights are changed according to the ownership information stored in the ownership registration system.

On the other hand, when the carrier issues an e-B / L, it is stored in the electronic trade document repository, and ownership registration is performed in the ownership registration system. When a trader makes a purchase request, data is transferred to KFTC and the purchasing bank. In accordance with the process, ownership is also modified in the ownership registration system to manage e-B / L.

The preferred direction of the interface implementation for distribution such as issuance of e-B / L is as follows.

First, in the process of issuing the bill of lading, the shipment request of the shippers, that is, the S / R request, must be transmitted from the EAI of the electronic trade service terminal to the get hub of the integrated logistics institution, Then, when issuing master B / L, master B / L should be created and converted into XML document and transmitted to EAI of electronic trade service of electronic trading platform.

In addition, the B / L number should be transferred to the integrated logistics agency. Only the master B / L number should be transferred to the get hub of the integrated logistics institution. Data received by the electronic trade platform is stored in the electronic trade document repository, The ownership registration system must register the current owner of the B / L.

In the process of circulation of the bill of lading (purchase, transfer of ownership, etc.), the documents required for purchase are attached to the document in PDF format and the XML data is transferred from the EAI of the electronic trading platform to KFTC , KFTC shall reserve the limit amount on the eL / C limit management system. In the ownership registration system, ownership of the bill of lading must be changed from the trading company to the purchasing bank.

Next, when a purchase request to a purchasing bank is transmitted, the purchasing bank must pay the document after confirming the documents (documents including L / C, B / L and C / I) necessary for the purchase.

The bill of lading is made by the B / L revocation request after payment, and when the data is transferred from the buy bank to the EAI of the electronic trading platform, the e-B / L of the electronic trade document repository and ownership registration system is revoked.

7 is a diagram illustrating a protocol and a data format for electronic document relay / transmission according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 illustrates internal processing logic of an electronic document relay system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. FIG.

As shown, the linkage of the data necessary for the e-B / L distribution is achieved through the EAI of the electronic trading platform. The EAI shall be responsible for the exchange and transmission of data, and shall implement the linkage with the KFTC and the purchasing bank in the prescribed protocol and data format in connection with the integrated logistics agency, shipping company, e-trade document repository and ownership registration system. Each of the transmission / reception protocol and the data format shown in FIG. 7 is shown as an embodiment, and thus is not limited thereto.

As shown in FIG. 8, the electronic document relay system can be used for data fileing, file reading, data conversion, data transfer, update request, document archive (WAS), title registry update, document repository DB update, CAS (Contents Addressed Storage).

In the case of e-B / L creation and inquiry (change of ownership), inquiry / modification of ownership of e-B / L, ownership registration system of e-trade warehouse through web service.

FIG. 9 is a view for explaining a name plate, terms and a signature registration function according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The name plate, terms and signature registration function registers the name plate, terms and signatures of related companies (shipping companies, forwarders, insurance companies, shipping companies, etc.) specified at the time of B / L issuance. Proof that it is the same as the city name seal and signature.

As shown in the figure, when a user requests to register an image such as a nameplate, a signature, and a contract by using an electronic trade service of an electronic trade platform, the electronic trade service team scans an image in a standard format provided by the user, Automatically adjust image size and format. In the case of surface terms, text is added and the image and text are stored in the image DB (a specific directory in image storage).

The user can confirm the registered image and text, and a sample can be issued.

On the other hand, in the e-trade platform, the recommended specifications should be provided when registering images. If images that do not meet the recommended specifications are uploaded, the system should be able to adjust automatically. It is preferable to register only the directory path in the DB and store the actual image separately.

Then, the user should be able to print images, B / L contents such as terms, nameplates, signatures, etc. using the reporting tool in use.

Meanwhile, in developing the electronic bill-of-lading distribution system of the present invention, when using a specific business rule, it is impossible to expect the activation of the electronic bill of lading, so it is necessary to accommodate almost all the business rules currently in use offline. Respectively.

First, in order not to restrict the participation qualification, it is necessary to be able to acquire the qualification for use of the electronic bill of lading distribution system by joining the electronic trading platform.

In this invention, since it is necessary to reflect the current custom in which a plurality of originals are issued and to send some of the originals directly to the importer, the present invention allows a plurality of originals to be issued, And generates ownership and endorsement chains in the ownership registration system as much as the original number.

In addition, some of the original output function is given, and some of the original can be transferred separately.

Next, if there is only one history management, it becomes impossible to transfer the registered bill of lading, so that the present invention realizes the endorsement history management separately from the ownership history in order to give the transfer function of the transferable named bill of lading.

Therefore, in the present invention, when the paper is converted, the signature of the issuer, the signature of the signer (the carrier, the captain, the agent), and the representative sign the signature of the document in accordance with the unified letter of credit Displays the name of the principal and the agent, prints out the top and bottom terms, prints out the phrase of the endorsement and the signature factor of the endorser and outputs it as paper.

Next, since the issuance format of the bill of lading must accommodate all forms issued offline, the present invention enables the issuance of the bill of lading in actual use form. Negotiable, non-negotiable, indicative bill of lading (simple indicator, indicating sign, optional sign), and unaccompanied bill of lading (carry-on type).

At this time, we do not accept issuing formats that exist theoretically but are not used in practice. In other words, it shall not be issued in the form of an optional unsigned bill of lading or an optional carry-on bill of lading.

Next, the endorsement method should be an endorsement of all the methods currently in use, so that it is desirable to allow all of the name, expression, back knowledge, and recognition endorsement.

In order to transfer the bills of lading, it is necessary to prepare for the passage of the bill of lading and the passage of the bill of lading.

Next, FIG. 10 is a conceptual diagram of the ownership management system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The diagram in Fig. 10 is a model when the final distribution of the bills of lading is finally completed. The ownership is transferred from the exporting company (the shipper) to the purchasing bank (the transferee) -> the opening bank (the transferee) Are transferred in order.

On the other hand, the ownership registration system is preferably implemented such that the first owner is registered at the time of issuing the e-B / L, the meta information according to the B / L ownership type is registered, and the ownership is automatically changed according to the exporting process.

And ownership registration system has the function of eB / L's ownership and originality confirmation, ownership change history management, eB / L business rules and eB / L business rule management such as ownership registration, storage, change, transfer, L The ownership registration function and the linkage with the document repository should be implemented.

11 is a diagram for explaining the internal logic of the ownership management system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, the present invention proposes a proprietary registration system for lifecycle management of B / L such as ownership change and history according to distribution process of B / L.

The E-trade platform's logistics portal service, trade portal service, and electronic credit ASP portal service can provide B / L issuance and ownership inquiry function, transfer and endorsement function, B / L original output function through ownership registration system (300) The ownership registration system 300 operates in association with the electronic trade document repository 400 and the e-Nego system 200 to perform ownership registration, transfer of ownership, completion of ownership, and the like.

The ownership registration system 300 proposed in the present invention guarantees the originality through linkage with the electronic trade document repository 400 and automatically reflects the ownership change occurred in the process of distribution of the bill of lading including purchase, transfer and presentation.

In addition, the ownership registration system 300 of the present invention provides ownership and endorsement history management functions and manages the original output in the electronic trade document repository 400.

The proprietorship registration system 300 has a function of automatically registering ownership in association with information of S / R when a shipper / forwarder issues a B / L, a function of generating separate ownership information for the number of originals, History and annotation history management function, ability to control the original output authority and automatically change ownership according to the buying process, ability to check whether the endorsement is needed at the time of transfer (purchase), the original flow and output Includes the ability to manage side information.

In implementation of the ownership registration system 300, it is desirable to derive the functional and system structure through analysis of the advanced case and the electronic trading platform, and it is desirable that the business that occurs in the B / L electronic lifecycle and B / L distribution process Rules should be defined and the B / L ownership issued by the shipowner should be registered in the ebMS format, and the B / L ownership and the authority of the electronic trade document repository should be confirmed and the original document should be output.

The characteristics of the ownership registration system of the present invention are summarized as follows.

First of all, the ownership registration system of the present invention has a function of managing the ownership and endorsement history as well as the function of creating and storing purchased documents. Unlike the conventional method of transmitting documents by e-mail attachment, .

In addition, the ownership registration system of the present invention stores an original document in an electronic trade document repository, only changes the ownership information, stores the ownership information in the DB, and encrypts the ownership information. In the present invention, when changing the paper of the bill of lading, it is possible to output only to the proprietor in the electronic trade document repository, not to request to the shipping company offline, and to use the same document as the original with the combination of terms, And prove the original with a two-dimensional bar code or the like.

On the other hand, some business rules for electronic B / L distribution such as registration and transfer of ownership of B / L are defined as follows.

First of all, the carrier is defined as a person who carries out the transportation of goods or passengers in the land or harbor, the port or the port, and the shipper is a party to the contract of carriage of the goods to the carrier, (Shipper) are used in the same sense. And consignee refers to the person who is delivered to the destination at the destination and the endorser usually signs or stamps on the reverse side of the securities for the purpose of transferring the rights of the securities he holds to the holder of the securities to the buyer.

On the other hand, the carrier shall issue a bill of lading or bill of lading upon request of the shipper upon receipt of the shipment. The bill of lading (B / L) shall include the name of the vessel, nationality, tonnage, The name of the charterer or consignee, the name or recipient of the consignee (or the recipient of the notification), the port of shipment, the port of discharge, the date of issue and the date of issue, the container , The name or the name of the carrier, and the carrier's principal place of business.

The carrier electronically signs and transmits the electronic bill of lading in which the contents are described, and the charterer or the shipper must receive the electronic bill of lading. If one of the bills of lading has the delivery of the shipment, the other bill of lading shall cease to be effective.

On the other hand, the electronic bill of lading may or may not be transferable, and if there is no statement that the signed electronic b /

In the case of blank paper endorsement, if a specific person is endorsed as a pawnbroker, the endorser must re-end to circulate again to the other person, and endorsement must have continuity of endorsement.

This type of endorsement is in the form of a registered name, a written expression, a blank endorsement, and a ceremony. If the registered name is signed by an endorser, the first endorser is to be consigned to the consignee . In the case of an indication, the name of the recipient is not specified and is signed by the endorser, accompanied by an instruction to deliver the cargo to the person designated by the direction of the shipper or the issuing bank.

Baekjyu endorsement is the only way to sign without a copy, signed by the Indian documents and the observer, without the name of the defeatist and the documents of the indivisible person, only the signature of the observer. In the case of the carrying-in ceremony, there is a guideline for the delivery of the gift to the bearer without specifying the buyer, which is the way the bearer signs it.

Next, the B / L presented by the shipping company is not valid as an electronic B / L in the ownership registration system. If the B / L is output as paper, it is recognized as the same original as the paper B / L.

Next, FIG. 12 to FIG. 15 show the contents of ownership registration and history management of the electronic bill of lading.

12 is a diagram for explaining an ownership registration function according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The ownership management system of the present invention manages the ownership history management of the issued B / L, automatically manages the B / L ownership that can occur in all processes from B / L issuance to extinction, and provides the history to the user do.

As shown, the original master is stored in the e-trade document repository when the master B / L is registered, and ownership information is registered in the ownership registration system. The information stored in the ownership registration system includes B / L ID, B / L type, B / L status, number of B / L originals, number of issued B / L, owner, owner, endorser chain, transfer chain and so on.

In the case of B / L issuance, it is preferable to make a DB format and signature according to B / L type.

On the other hand, in order to control transit ownership transfer of B / L during transfer of ownership or purchase processing of bank, active, suspend, and end flags may be set. In this case, active B / , Suspended is a situation where the original output and ownership change is restricted when the current ownership change is being made, such as during the purchase audit, and the end is the case where the original is output as paper. The life cycle of the electronic B / L can be terminated.

When the B / L issuance and ownership registration are completed as shown in the drawing, the B / L issuance result and the ownership registration fact may be notified.

Next, FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining the ownership history management function when transferring ownership due to purchases according to an embodiment of the present invention.

When a trader submits an application for purchase through an electronic trading platform of an electronic trading platform, the buying process proceeds with the B / L original document and the shipping document. Finally, when the purchase is decided on the silver line, the ownership of the B / L is changed from the shipping company to the bank, and the change history is recorded in the DB of the ownership registration system.

When transferring ownership due to purchases, it is possible to inquire and change the ownership of the B / L and define the document authority according to the original output function to limit the transfer of ownership in the purchase process. For example, the owner has the original output and viewing rights of the document, and the right holder has the copy output and viewing rights of the document.

On the other hand, it is desirable to implement the transfer of ownership so that it is automatically processed in the process of buying.

And, if the application is required to be endorsed, it can be managed as B / L type, and endorsement can be requested according to B / L type. The B / L type can be classified into the type of the designated bill of lading whose consignee is designated as the shipper, and the type of the bill of lading issued by the consignee. Therefore, when issuing the B / L, it is necessary to select a proper naming, indication, back knowledge, and bring-in ceremony.

Also, in the case of the naming and indication form, it is desirable to design to verify the continuity of the endorsement, and the ownership is changed after the purchase examination is completed and the purchase is finalized.

In accordance with the transfer agreement agreed between the assignor and the assignee, the transferor can apply for transfer at the electronic trading platform and transfer the transfer to the ownership registration system in accordance with the type of B / L to be transferred, Information is stored.

When transferring B / L ownership, the assignment of the transfer between the transferor and the transferee shall be mutually agreed upon, and both the transferor and the transferee shall be subscribed to the electronic trade platform.

On the other hand, in the case of transfer or endorsement, it is necessary to submit a certificate for identification and security. In case of transfer of registered B / L, transfer can be done by endorsement only if there is no endorsement clause. I shall endorse and transfer it again. In the case of the indicator B / L, the transfer is carried out by the endorser's endorsement.

While the ownership is transferred, the state of the B / L may be changed to the right transfer limit state (suspend), and in this case, it is preferable to change the state of the B / L to the active state where the transfer of rights is possible again.

FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining the ownership history management function at the time of paper switching according to an embodiment of the present invention.

If a trading company with B / L ownership outputs the original in an electronic trade document repository, B / L no longer has an electronic effect. Therefore, after the original is output, the state of B / L is changed to the end state, and it should be defined so that it is no longer electronic.

On the other hand, the linkage function related to the original output of the electronic trade document repository and the ownership registration system includes an owner check function for checking whether the trader requesting output is a legitimate owner registered in the ownership registration system (TR) A function to check the number of originals of B / L and the number of original output, a contract required for original output, a signature, a company logo, and the like to image DB , And a function of inserting a two-dimensional barcode and a watermark to prevent the document from being distorted or altered when the original document is output.

Next, FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining a proprietary endorsement history management / inquiry function according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the present invention, when distributing an electronic bill of lading by means of an endorsement, it is confirmed whether or not a proper endorsement has been carried out according to the B / L type, and the endorsement history can be inquired.

That is, if the endorsement history is inquired, it is confirmed whether or not it is the owner, and then the ownership information, the endorsement history information, and the endorsement information according to the B / L type are provided.

In addition, the trader registers the signature and nameplate for the endorsement in the image DB, and if the endorsement is performed according to the B / L type, the endorsement details are stored in the DB.

It is desirable to make sure that the history of endorsement can be inquired only by the proprietor and strengthen the security by submitting the endorsement certificate.

FIG. 17 is a view for explaining an original linkage function of an electronic trade document repository according to an embodiment of the present invention.

A trading company with ownership is required to verify the ownership in the ownership registration system to output the B / L from the electronic trade document repository, to confirm the original output number, etc. and to output it.

Linkage with electronic trade document repository includes the task of storing B / L original, the task of inquiring B / L, and the task of outputting B / L original.

That is, the electronic trade document repository serves as the original repository after issuing the B / L.

In addition, the e-trade document repository has the function of confirming and controlling the issuing authority by checking the document information and the inquiry information, the function of granting the owner of the document and the document in the repository in cooperation with the ownership registration system, And performs the function of checking the access authority for.

In relation to the B / L original output, the electronic trade document repository has the function of managing the total number of issued documents per B / L, that is, the number of originals, A function of outputting a two-dimensional barcode and a watermark to the original document in order to prevent stray / tampering, and a function of preventing the original double output.
