Hello contributors!

 

For everyone aware about CRM (Convention relative au contrat de transport international de Marchandise par Route)

 

We plan to develop an OCA set of modules to implement the CMR Convention.

 

Any one is near of this matter and would like to give an expert opinion?

 

 

RFC for CMR Management and e-CMR Integration in Odoo ERP (OCA RFC in stock-logistic-transport)

Introduction

eCMR, as a digital adaptation of the traditional CMR consignment note, has been legally validated and is an integral part of the international transport of goods. Endorsed by numerous countries and supported by the United Nations, its adoption signifies a pivotal move towards digitalization in the transportation sector. This transition is not only a technological advancement but also aligns with global efforts for sustainable and innovative logistics practices.

Objective

Develop and implement a functionality in Odoo ERP to manage transportation processes in compliance with the CMR Convention and to prepare for the mandatory use of e-CMR starting in September 2024.

General Description

  • Sale as Route: Each sale represents a transport route.
  • Purchases and Carriers: Each purchase linked to a route is a carrier.
  • CMR Management: One CMR document is updated by each carrier.
  • Final Signature and Invoicing: The completed CMR is attached to the invoice for client payment.

Technical Specifications

  1. Sale Route Module: Links sales to transport routes and purchases.
  2. CMR Management Module: Creates, updates, and tracks the CMR document.
  3. Integration with Purchases: Links purchases to CMR updates.
  4. Completion and Sending of CMR: Finalizes CMR for invoicing.
  5. CMR Claims from Suppliers: Automated CMR request and collection.
  6. Security and Compliance: Ensures legal compliance and data security.
  7. User Interface and Experience: User-friendly design and accessibility.
  8. Reporting and Analysis: Tools for tracking and improving logistics.

e-CMR Integration

  • Compliance with 2024 Regulation: Adapts to mandatory e-CMR usage.
  • Digital Transformation: Transitions from paper-based to digital CMR.
  • Subsidy Utilization: Leverages financial programs like "Cheque Moderniza".
  • Technical Adaptation: Prepares for technology changes required by e-CMR.
  • Training and Support: Provides training for e-CMR system use.

Conclusion

Integrating CMR and e-CMR functionalities in Odoo aligns with regulatory changes and represents a commitment to digital transformation in logistics and transportation management.

 

Thank you in advance.
