CMR

1. Introduction

  • This is a report under the Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road (CMR) for the carriage of goods by land.

  • The module contributes to compliance with the international transportation system by printing international freight bills of lading.

2. Installation and Configuration

  • The CMR is printed from the Inventory module, so this module must be installed.

  • Check whether the CMR report module, technically named stock_cmr_report, is installed. Additionally, check whether the Intrastat module is installed and configured.

  • No additional settings are required for the initial configuration.

However, before generating the report, it is necessary to properly enter the product card(s): the weight, Intrastat KN code (for more information, see the Intrastat declaration documentation) and country of origin of each product must be entered.

3. Main Features

In the module Inventory -> Operations -> Transfers >> select the required unloading (OUT) document. The document must be in the “Ready” or “Completed” status, then select Print -> CMR..
