Phytosanitary Inspection & MoA Certification

1. Overview & Business Value#

This comprehensive operational guide details the architecture, business workflows, configuration parameters, and execution steps for Phytosanitary Inspection & MoA Certification within SmartERP.

Enforce quarantine pest scouting, manage Ministry of Agriculture phytosanitary inspection certificates, and verify EU plant health rules.

2. Prerequisites & Security Access Groups#

• Required Modules: smarterp_commodity_export, smarterp_agri_traceability
• Security Groups:
  • Cold Chain & Packhouse Officer (Technical ID: smarterp_export.group_export_user)
  • Floriculture Quality Inspector (Technical ID: smarterp_export.group_export_qa)
  • Floriculture Export Manager (Technical ID: smarterp_export.group_export_manager)
• Master Data Dependencies: Greenhouse greenhouse blocks, rose stem varieties, cold storage temperature telemetry (2°C–4°C), Ethiopian Airlines Bole Cargo space bookings, and European auction buyers.

3. Step-by-Step Configuration & Execution#

Step 1: Navigating to the Module Interface#

1. Log into your SmartERP instance at https://smarterp.et/odoo.
2. Open the main App Switcher (grid icon in the top-left corner).
3. Select the Floriculture Export app icon.
4. From the top navigation bar, open Floriculture Export → Greenhouse → Harvest / Cold Chain / Packhouse / Air Waybills.

Step 2: Creating and Parameterizing Records#

1. Click the New button in the top-left control panel.
2. Complete the mandatory fields in the record form:
   • Greenhouse Harvest Batch (Mandatory): Block origin, stem length (cm), and cut date/time
   • Rose Variety & Head Size (Mandatory): Commercial cultivar (Rhodos, Red Naomi, Athena) and bud profile
   • Pre-Cooling Verification (Mandatory): Confirmed forced-air cooling record achieving 2°C–4°C core temperature
   • Bole Cargo e-AWB Number (Mandatory): Ethiopian Airlines booked air waybill identifier
3. Configure optional operational parameters and localized tags as required:
   • Cold Chain Logger ID (Optional): Digital temperature datalogger serial number placed in pallet
   • Auction Consignment Code (Optional): Royal FloraHolland auction lot reference
   • MoA Phytosanitary Seal Number (Optional): Official government export inspection security tag
4. Click the Save icon in the control bar to commit the record.

Step 3: Validating and Processing Transactions#

• State Transitions: Execute operational state progression (Harvested → Pre-Cooled (2°C) → Packhouse Sorted → Cold Truck Transit → Bole Airport Loaded → Cleared).
• Ledger & System Impact: Direct greenhouse labor and packaging costs absorb into crop inventory; e-AWB air freight dispatch recognizes export revenue in foreign currency.
• Audit Verification: Automated recording of author ID, timestamp, and immutable revision history.

Strict Quarantine Pest Compliance (EU & UK Standards)#

Under European Union Plant Health Regulation (EU) 2016/2031, cut-flower consignments must be 100% free from quarantine quarantine pests:

• False Codling Moth (Thaumatotibia leucotreta): Zero-tolerance pest; detection results in immediate EU border rejection and potential country-wide export bans.
• Thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis).
• Leafminers (Liriomyza trifolii).

Executing the MoA Phytosanitary Inspection#

1. In Floriculture > Compliance > Phytosanitary Inspections, select the packed export batch.
2. The resident Ethiopian Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) Plant Quarantine Inspector conducts physical sampling (minimum 2% of total consignment boxes).
3. Inspector records visual inspection findings:
   • Microscopic examination of flower heads and calyxes for insect larvae or frass.
4. If certified clean:
   • The inspector issues the official serialized Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia Phytosanitary Certificate.
   • The digital certificate number and high-resolution scan are attached permanently to the export dispatch manifest.

4. Advanced Configuration Points#

• Automated Actions & Scheduled Tasks (Crons):
  • Cold Chain: Alert temperature breach above 4°C (smarterp_export.ir_cron_temp_monitor): Runs every 15 minutes checking IoT temperature telemetry
  • Air Cargo: Track Bole cargo flight departure (smarterp_export.ir_cron_flight_status): Runs hourly checking Ethiopian Airlines cargo flight tracking
• Custom Print Templates & Reports:
  • Cold Chain Temperature Compliance Certificate
  • MoA Phytosanitary Export Inspection Dossier
  • Bole Cargo Air Waybill (e-AWB) & Pallet Manifest
  • Consignment Net Realization & Auction Settlement Summary
• Multi-Company Rules: Record-level security isolation under Company 1 (Ashewa Technology Solutions S.C.), preventing cross-company ledger leakage across parent and subsidiary legal entities.
