PROCESSING OF ELECTRONIC AIR WAYBILLS ACCORDING TO BILATERAL AGREEMENTS

摘要

A logistics management system (LMS) may generate electronic air waybills for a received freight waybill when a bilateral agreement is in place between at least a destination country and a origin country on the freight waybill. Bilateral agreements may also be associated with particular accounts, carriers, or shippers, such that freight waybills processed by an LMS cause the LMS to generate an electronic air waybill when information on the freight waybill matches a bilateral agreement. If no bilateral agreement applies then a paper air waybill may be generated. The bilateral agreements for individual destination countries, origin countries, and accounts may be stored in a database of the LMS, which is searched when processing a freight waybill.
