The Vchasno.TTN service has implemented Ukraine’s first full-fledged electronic consignment note (eTTN) in a specialized form for the transportation of alcoholic beverages. This is a unique opportunity for manufacturers, distributors, and carriers of excisable goods to automate their work with consignment notes and switch to fast, secure, and controlled electronic document management.
This new feature in Vchasno.TTN greatly simplifies the logistics of excisable goods. Previously, market participants were forced to work exclusively with paper forms, which created numerous inconveniences. From now on, Vchasno.TTN customers receive an exclusive advantage — the ability to process alcohol shipments entirely in digital form, staying ahead of competitors and optimizing their business processes.
How to process consignment notes for alcohol shipments in Vchasno.TTN? We explain in this article.
Why is there a separate consignment note form for alcohol?
The transportation of alcoholic beverages is subject to special state control. For this reason, the law requires the use of a specialized consignment note form, No. 1-TN (alcoholic beverages), rather than a standard form. Its use is regulated by Order No. 154 of the Ministry of Transport and Communications of Ukraine dated April 28, 2005.
The key difference between this special form and the standard consignment note form is the presence of additional fields that must be filled in when transporting alcohol. These include:
- The shipper’s and consignee’s license numbers for the production or sale of alcohol.
- The details of the excise warehouse from which the products are shipped.
- Detailed information about the goods, allowing for clear identification of excisable products.
Until now, the only way to issue such a consignment note was on paper. This meant manual filling, risks of errors, delays due to the transfer of documents, and the complexity of their storage and accounting. With the introduction of electronic consignment notes, this process is now a thing of the past.
Electronic special form in Vchasno.TTN
The Vchasno.TTN service has fully reproduced the state-approved form No. 1-TN (alcoholic beverages) in electronic form, taking into account all legislative requirements. Now you can create, sign with a qualified electronic signature (QES), and exchange these documents in digital form.
What has been implemented:
- Full compliance with legislation. The electronic form contains all the mandatory details required for the paper equivalent. The Law of Ukraine «On Motor Transport» allows the use of consignment notes in both paper and electronic form.
- Process automation. Data can be entered into the consignment note quickly, avoiding mechanical errors. The signing process takes a few seconds: the shipper, carrier, and consignee sign the document with their QES directly in the service interface.
- Convenience for all participants. The driver sees the electronic consignment note in the mobile app, and the logistician and accountant see it in the web office. No more waiting for the driver to return from the trip with the papers — the documents are instantly available to all participants in the transportation.
