Goods Transport Invoice

The Goods Transport Invoice (GTI) is a document that serves as a comprehensive record for all participants involved in the transportation process. It is used to track the movement of goods, calculate transportation charges, record the work performed, and facilitate inventory management, operational tracking, and accounting.

For international shipments, the International Goods Transport Invoice (CMR) is used.

GTI

In the Business Central system, the GTI is represented as a printed form called the Posted Sales Shipments document. To ensure all necessary fields are filled in the printed GTI form, the functionality of the Sales Order and Sales Shipment documents has been expanded. Specifically, a new tab called TTN has been added.

If the transportation of goods is carried out by a third-party organization, the Agent field and the Agent Services field should be specified in the Shipment tab.

International Goods Transport Invoice (CMR)

The International Goods Transport Invoice has a different format for the printed form and is typically filled in English. To ensure correct completion of important fields in the printed CMR form, the following recommendations should be followed:

1. The Full Name (English) field on the Organization Information page should be filled with the English name of the organization, and the Address 2 field should contain the full address in English.
2. The language code should be specified for the customer or sales order, as the translations for the items will be based on this code.
3. Translations for item names and units of measure should be provided. To fill in translations:
   • For items, go to the item card and click on Related > Item > Translations.
   • For units of measure, go to the Unit of Measure page and click on Related > Unit > Translations.
4. If goods are transported by third-party organizations, it is recommended to enter the name of the carrier agent in the Full Name field on the Carriers page in English, along with their full address.

To print the Goods Transport Invoice, navigate to the Posted Sales Shipments page, click on Print, and select the appropriate template for the printed form.
