A cascaded transaction in ONDC involves interaction between a retail seller (or buyer app) and the logistics provider who are both participants in the network. To ensure seamless handover of the Order from the retail seller (or buyer app) to the logistics provider and final delivery to the buyer would require harmonisation of different information between all of them.
This note proposes mapping most widely communicated information, between the retail seller app and logistics provider, to the protocol schema.
The proposed mapping of the most widely communicated information, between the retail seller app and logistics provider, to the protocol schema is shown below:
