خلاصة:
By the explosive growth of B2B e-commerce transactions in international supply
chains and the rapid increase of business documents in Iran’s cross-border
trading, effective management of trade processes over borders is vital in B2B ecommerce
systems. Structure of the localized model in this paper is based on
three major layers of a B2B e-commerce infrastructure, which are messaging
layer, business process layer and content layer. For each of these layers proper
standards and solutions are chosen due to Iran’s e-commerce requirements. As it
is needed to move smoothly towards electronic documents in Iran, UNedocs
standard is suggested to support the contents of both paper and electronic
documents. The verification of the suggested model is done by presenting a four
phase scenario through case study method. The localized model in this paper
tries to make a strategic view of business documents exchange in trade
processes, and getting closer to the key target of regional single windows
establishment in global trade e-supply chains.

The localized model in this paper tries to make a strategic view of business documents exchange in trade processes, and getting closer to the key target of regional single windows establishment in global trade e-supply chains.
Establishing a regional single window needs cross border gateways that can exchange trade documents efficiently.
(UNCEFACT, 2008) A simple view of the international supply chain based on BSS model includes three main categories of processes which are buy, ship and pay, plus four types of roles such as customer, authority, intermediary and supplier.
(Dill, 2007) To establish a UNedocs project in the country these following four stages are suggested in implementing the UNedocs project in a sample trading environment: • Better Paper Documents • Document Data Models • Digital Documents • Systems: Automated document processing, Single electronic Window (Grainger, 2008) In other words, by the UNedocs project single documents can adapt in different information processing systems.
(UNCEFACT, 2006)The exporter and importer are considered as the first and last points of a communication line and single window systems in national and regional levels are responsible to process information and move them forward.
Importer and NSW interaction, content layer The final approval of the form in this phase is sent to the CA center of the exporter through the single windows in national and regional levels.
As the result, a sample transaction between the exporter and importer end points in the supply chain, and the functionality of each component of the cross-border model in the content and messaging layers was discussed.
