Shipments
Shipments are e-Transport notifications created by your organization and uploaded to ANAF, with the purpose of obtaining a UIT - unique transport identification number. A shipment may consist of multiple stages. At the minimum, each shipment contains a “Notification” stage. When you modify a shipment record, however, a new “Modification” stage is created. Likewise, if you delete a shipment record, a “Deletion” stage is created.
View shipments
To view shipments:
- If applicable, select the organization from the drop-down list at the top of the page.
- Click the Shipments tab.
Whenever you click a row in the Shipments grid, its stages are loaded in the Stages grid.
By default, shipments are ordered by their creation date, most recent first. To refresh the grid, click Refresh 
in the top-right corner of the grid.
The “Shipments” grid contains the following columns:
| Column | Purpose |
|---|---|
| UIT | The unique transport identification number assigned to the shipment by ANAF. If the shipment was created with errors, a UIT may not be available. |
| ID | The unique identifier of the shipment in SBS. |
| Status | The shipment status. Valid values: UPLOADED - an UIT was obtained, however, the shipment is not confirmed as accepted by ANAF, PROCESSED - ANAF has accepted the shipment, CONFIRMED - either the sending or receiving party has confirmed successful delivery, UPLOAD_FAILED - an upload of the e-transport declaration to ANAF was attempted but it has failed, CONFIRMATION_FAILED - a confirmation transaction was accepted but it failed, DELETED the UIT was cancelled, DELETE_FAILED - an UIT cancellation was attempted but it failed, REJECTED - ANAF has rejected the shipment. |
| Errors | The processing errors associated with this shipment, if any. |
| Created at | The date and time when the shipment was created in SBS. |
SBS fetches the latest information from ANAF every minute. So, for example, if the status is UPLOADED, then you will need to wait at least 1 minute and then click the refresh button to get the latest status information. This applies both to shipments and shipment stages.
Shipment stages
The “Stages” grid contains the following columns:
| Column | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Upload ID | A unique upload ID assigned to the shipment by ANAF. |
| ID | The unique identifier of the shipment stage in SBS. |
| Type | The type of action that was taken against the original shipment. This can be one of the following: NOTIFICATION, MODIFICATION, CONFIRMATION or DELETION. |
| Upload date | Each stage means that a file upload to ANAF was attempted, where the file has any of the types mentioned above. This column indicates the date and time when the actual upload took place. |
| Status | The shipment status. Valid values: UPLOADED - the changes have been uploaded and await resolution by ANAF; PROCESSED - the changes have been accepted by ANAF, REJECTED - the changes have been rejected by ANAF. |
| Errors | The processing errors associated with this shipment, if any. |
| Created at | The date and time when the shipment stage was created in SBS. |
To download the XML file associated with each stage, click the XML 
icon on the respective row.

Optionally, you can customize the grid to display less columns. This apples for both “Shipments” and “Stages” grids.

button on the grid. The Column Chooser dialog appears. - Drag a column header from the grid onto the column chooser area.

Filter shipments by creation date
You can filter shipments by the date they were created in SBS. To do this, use the date picker available above the grid. By default, this filter is set to display all shipments starting with the 1st of the current month up to today’s date.
To change the date range:
- Click twice on any date except the first date of the currently visible range. A single date is selected.
- Click a date previous or subsequent to the selected date to create the range.
Create, modify, delete shipments
Creating, modifying, and deleting shipments is available only from the GraphQL interface. For details, see the e-Transport Service API Reference.
Debug stage status
Under normal circumstances, refreshing the “Shipments” and the “Stages” grids fetches the latest available information from ANAF. However, if system failures or API downtime occur in the process of exchanging data with ANAF, the displayed shipment stage status may be out-of-sync with ANAF.
To help you work around such issues, SBS provides a debug button that is displayed in the “Stages” grid for each stage that has the status UPLOADED. Click the debug button to issue a real-time query to ANAF and get the latest information about the respect shipment stage as it currently stands with ANAF.
Messages
The Messages tab displays a list of messages as provided by ANAF in real time.
A message indicates that ANAF has registered an event in connection with a shipment. The most important information about each message is displayed directly on the grid, namely:
- Upload ID - The identifier obtained from ANAF after uploading the declaration file.
- UIT - The unique transport identification number assigned to the shipment by ANAF.
- Vehicle Plate Number - The plate number of the vehicle involved in the event, if available.
- Shipment Date - The date when the shipment is due to take place.
- Created At - The date when the record was created in Socrate Business Services.
To view full details of a message, click the Upload ID column of the grid.
By default, the grid shows messages starting with the 1st of the current month. Use the calendar picker to load earlier messages. Note, however, that you can load messages from the past 60 days only, which is the current limit set by ANAF.
Carrier messages
The Carrier Messages tab displays a list of messages available from ANAF for e-transport carrier organizations. Information in this tab is relevant only if your company has been declared as a carrier when the shipment notification was submitted to ANAF.
The most important information about each carrier message is displayed directly on the grid, namely:
- UIT - The unique transport identification number assigned to the shipment by ANAF.
- Declarant Code - The tax identification number of the declaring entity.
- Declarant Name - The name of the declaring entity.
- Declarant Reference - A reference generated by the declaring entity from their system on obtaining the UIT.
- Shipment Date - The date when the shipment is due to take place.
- Vehicle Plate Number - The plate number of the vehicle involved in the event, if available.
To view full details of a message, click the UIT column of the grid.
Note that carrier messages are available from ANAF only while there are active shipments.
