Mercury SVH entrance to your personal account. FGIS "Mercury": how to choose the optimal service for working with the system

What is FSIS "Mercury"?

FSIS "Mercury" is a federal state information system for electronic veterinary certification of goods controlled by Rosselkhoznadzor and tracking their movements on the territory of the Russian Federation. It is a subsystem of the GIS "VetIS" - a state system in the field of veterinary medicine.

What companies should register in the Mercury system?

Organizations (manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers) that participate in the circulation of regulated goods of animal and plant origin, subject to accompanying veterinary accompanying documents, are connected to the FSIS "Mercury". The list of regulated goods is contained in Order of the Ministry of Agriculture No. 251 dated June 27, 2018 “On amendments to the list of regulated goods subject to accompanying veterinary documents, approved by Order of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia dated December 18, 2015 No. 648.”

Do you need to register and cancel VSD for ice cream and dairy products?

Thus, ice cream and all products made from pasteurized milk and products containing less than 50% of regulated products were excluded from the list of products that must be processed through the FSIS "Mercury".

How to register in the system?

To register in the FSIS "Mercury" system, you must submit an application to the territorial department of Rosselkhoznadzor. You can submit an application in two ways: by mail on paper or electronically with the signature of the manager to the service’s email address (for individual entrepreneurs - info @svfk .mcx .ru, for Organizations - [email protected]). Application templates are available here.

Application processing takes approximately five business days. After processing the application, a login and password will be sent to the specified email. to enter Rosselkhoznadzor services (Vetis.Passport, Cerberus.HS and Mercury.HS).

Where can I find contact information about territorial departments of Rosselkhoznadzor?

You can view contact information about territorial departments on the Rosselkhoznadzor website www.fsvps.ru in the Structure section.

When is it necessary to connect to the Mercury system?

From July 1, 2018, all retail stores and public catering establishments will need to accept and confirm veterinary accompanying documents for products of animal origin controlled by Rosselkhoznadzor in electronic form.

What if we don't have internet? Is it possible to continue working with paper VSDs?

In such a situation, there are two options:

If your site is not connected to the Internet, then you cannot use paper VSDs. You can provide access to the system to your authorized representative, who will extinguish VSD and make returns. The law does not require extinguishing VSD on the site.

If you work in an area where there is no access to communications, you can continue to work with paper VSDs. The list of areas not connected to the Internet is approved by the constituent entities of the federation.

What should a retail store or catering establishment do in the system?

Catering enterprises and institutions that sell regulated products are required to cancel incoming electronic VSD, issue VSD for return to the supplier, and issue VSD for movement between sites.

How long does it take to extinguish VSD?

VSD cancellation is carried out within 1 business day after delivery and acceptance of the goods.

What to do if the goods have not arrived at the enterprise, but there is VSD in the Mercury system?

The user who issued the VSD must cancel this VSD.

What to do if you receive only one VSD for a product in the assortment?

Do not extinguish the incoming VSD. Ask the sender to fill out the VSD correctly - each product name must have its own VSD.

There is no "Redeem" button in VSD. Why and what to do?

The invoice may not have a “Redeem” button for two reasons:

If on the page for viewing incoming VSD, the system displays the message “It is impossible to redeem VSD, since the input was not made under a specific platform, but under all.”, then this means that you did not log in to the specific serviced enterprise where the goods were received. Follow these steps: go to the “Change enterprise” link in the upper right corner and select the desired site from the list. If there is no such list, contact the Territorial Administration of Rosselkhoznadzor or the Veterinary Administration for the subject. Employees of the institution must register the enterprise in the register of supervised objects, if it is not already in the register, and associate it with the household. subject.

If on the page for viewing incoming VSD, the system displays the message “It is impossible to extinguish VSD, since the current user does not have a role for extinguishing.”, then this means that you do not have the “Extinguish VSD” access right. Follow these steps: log into the Vetis.Passport system. Go to the Administrator.XC profile, go to the list of users and assign rights to extinguish VSD.

How is the remnant of goods sold at retail without registration of veterinary documents and not written off carried out in Mercury XC?

How to properly draw up an “Authorized Cancellation?

How to ship goods to an individual in the system?

Shipments to individuals are not recorded in the system. The resulting balance of products can be written off using inventory.

We are catering. We buy groceries in the store. Should you get VSD?

If the purchase of controlled goods is made by a legal entity/individual entrepreneur, then the store must issue a VSD to your address.

The warehouse receives goods and distributes them to stores. When distributing goods from a warehouse, is it necessary to register a VSD?

In case of moving from a warehouse to another site, it is necessary to issue a transport VSD. Instructions for registering VSD can be found in the VetIS Knowledge Base at this link.

How to obtain/find out the GUID of an Economic Entity (Organization, Individual Entrepreneur, Individual Entrepreneur, registered on the portal according to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities) and Site (structure, building, site, hunting area, farm, plant, etc.)?

To obtain the GUID (identifier) of an organization, you need to go to the Cerberus.XC subsystem. After logging into your Cerberus.HS personal account and selecting the business entity to be served, you will see a page with information about the business entity you have selected. The GUID of the business entity can be seen in the "Service Information" block. To obtain the GUID of a site (enterprise), you need to go to the site register. To go to the register of sites, click “Sites” in the upper left corner of the page or on the information page about the business entity in the block"Free information" click the button

The list of serviced businesses shows businesses that are not related to my company. What to do?

Most likely, connections between the MS and the enterprise were mistakenly established; in this case, the connections need to be deleted in the Cerberus system. To do this, contact the Office of Rosselkhoznadzor or the Veterinary Service of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation. Contacts of departments are published on the official website of Rosselkhoznadzor at the link.

The address listed for the serviced business is incorrect. What to do?

in your Cerberus personal account, create and submit an application to make changes to information about the company according to the instructions.

The username and password for logging into your Cerberus personal account are the same as for logging into the Mercury.XC portal.

link.

A duplicate serviced enterprise was found in the list. What to do?

To quickly resolve the issue, you can create and submit an application to merge enterprises (sites) in your Cerberus personal account according to the instructions.

The username and password for logging into your Cerberus personal account are the same as for logging into the Mercury.XC portal.

Or, if it is impossible to gain access to the Cerberus LC, contact the Office of Rosselkhoznadzor or the Veterinary Service of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation. Contacts of departments are published on the official website of Rosselkhoznadzor at the link.

We have several sites. Is it possible to make it so that the store enters only its site and does not see the rest of the company’s sites?

At the moment, you see all the sites of your legal entity/individual entrepreneur. The system will be further developed, and perhaps similar functionality will appear in the future.

Will there be fines?

The fine for non-compliance with the requirements of the Federal Law dated July 13, 2015 No. 243 is provided for in Art. 10.8 Code of Administrative Offences. A fine of up to 700,000 rubles per legal entity or suspension of activities for up to 90 days is possible.

The federal state information system "Mercury" was developed by Rosselkhoznadzor, is part of the FSIS Vetis and is intended for:

registration of electronic veterinary certificates,
tracking the path of movement of supervised cargo,
excluding their falsification and smuggling.

In accordance with Law N 243-FZ “On Amendments to the Law of the Russian Federation “On Veterinary Medicine”, from July 1, 2018, all goods controlled by Rosselkhoznadzor are subject to mandatory electronic certification in the FSIS “Mercury”, which tracks them throughout the entire cycle: from raw materials to the finished product on the store shelf.

Certification is required for: meat processing plants, poultry farms, seafood producers, dairies, distributors and retail chains.

FSIS "Mercury" allows you to:

reduce the time for preparing veterinary accompanying documentation,
accumulate information about samples taken for testing imported products,
track the movement of a consignment across the territory of the Russian Federation, taking into account its fragmentation,
reduce the cost of issuing VSD by replacing secure paper forms with electronic ones,
eliminate the human factor due to the availability of ready-made forms for entering information, as well as checking user-entered data.
create a unified database for quick search and analysis of information.

The system is intended for employees:

economic entities (ES);
veterinary departments of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation (VU);
animal disease control stations (ADCS);
the central office of Rosselkhoznadzor (CA);
territorial departments of Rosselkhoznadzor (TU);
temporary storage warehouses (TSW),
customs control zones (CZC).

The following subsystems operate as part of FSIS "Mercury":

Subsystem of the Temporary Storage Warehouse (Mercury.SVH)
Subsystem of the State Veterinary Expertise (Mercury.GVE)
Business entity subsystem (Mercury.XC)
Subsystem of Territorial Administration (Mercury.TU)
Notification subsystem (Mercury.Notifications)
Subsystem for verifying the authenticity of issued VSD
Universal gateway (Vetis.API)
Subsystem of preliminary notifications from foreign countries (Mercury.Notice)

Working with GIS "Mercury": manual input or integration

The GIS "Mercury" Rosselkhoznadzor (FSIS Vetis) implements the ability to create applications for issuing veterinary certificates, but the company has to create applications by manually entering all the necessary data. With a large number of certificates issued per day, this method of work requires significant labor costs, and therefore additional costs.

In this regard, the urgent issue is the integration of the enterprise accounting system with the Mercury GIS in order to automate the process of creating electronic veterinary certificates. As a result of integration, they will be created automatically based on primary data from the enterprise’s accounting system, which will immediately bring tangible savings.

Solution from JSC "ASP"

"13" October 2016 A cooperation agreement was concluded between the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance (Rosselkhoznadzor) and CJSC ASP.

On the official website of the State Information System in the field of veterinary medicine VETIS, the ASP company is listed in the IT partners section.

CJSC "ASP" offers the integration of existing automated enterprise accounting systems with the GIS "Mercury" of Rosselkhoznadzor. The implementation of the ASP.Mercury software package will significantly reduce the costs of the enterprise. All work is carried out on a turnkey basis.

Automatic issuance of veterinary certificates from 1C and other accounting systems from 30,000 rubles!

Video presentation of the product "ASP.Mercury"

On our YouTube channel you can watch video reviews of the ASP.Gateway and ASP.Mercury products, as well as study video tutorials on working in the Mercury GIS program.

The company ZAO "ASP" has a number of successfully implemented projects for the integration of enterprise accounting systems with the GIS "Mercury" in various areas of production: meat processing plants, dairies, poultry farms, seafood producers, distributors, retail chains.

The implementation of "ASP.Mercury" will allow:

automatically generate VSD in GIS "Mercury";
speed up the receipt of electronic certificates,
eliminate manual input into the GIS "Mercury",
minimize the risk of errors when filling out data,
reduce company costs,
reduce costs for VSD forms.

As a result, you will have the opportunity, independently or with the help of certified veterinary specialists, to automatically issue VSD for the entire range of transported products, which means completely getting rid of the maintenance of the state veterinary service and the significant financial costs associated with them. At the same time, to independently register the VSD, the company does not need to hire additional specialists.

The main advantages of the solution from the ASP company:

All work is carried out on a turnkey basis.
Compliance with the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation in the field of veterinary supervision.
Integration with all existing automated accounting systems.
Open source.
Possibility of flexible configuration of integration taking into account the features of the existing accounting system.
Savings on VSD forms.
Reducing the time for preparing veterinary accompanying documentation by automating this process.
Comprehensive annual support.
The development of the software package was carried out in collaboration with the developers of the GIS "Mercury" and specialists from Rosselkhoznadzor.

The ASP company offers two integration options: “ASP.Gateway” (integration of any enterprise accounting system through a gateway, including “1C” platform versions 7.7; 8.0; 8.1; 8.2; 8.3) from 30,000 rubles and “ASP.Mercury” ( direct integration of 1C platform version 8.0; 8.2; 8.3 on managed and unmanaged forms) from 60,000 rubles. Each option is relevant depending on the size of the enterprise and the version of the accounting system.

The ASP company also offers comprehensive annual support. It includes maintenance of this integration, since the accounting systems of the enterprise and the GIS "Mercury" of Rosselkhoznadzor are periodically updated, and accordingly the exchange format or requirements may change, consulting on the integration module with the GIS "Mercury", incident support, making changes and updates to processing.

Unlike other developers, the company ASP CJSC already has successfully implemented projects for integrating enterprise accounting systems with the Mercury GIS in various areas of production: meat processing plants, dairies, poultry farms, seafood producers, distributors, retail chains.

Sections of the article

With this article we begin to introduce our readers to the problems of automated systems developed and promoted by the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance (Rosselkhoznadzor).

At the moment, Rosselkhoznadzor is developing a whole set of computer programs necessary to qualitatively improve the current situation in the Russian Federation and ensure the modern level of biological food safety. Moreover, the introduction of such new solutions will improve and optimize the methods that Rosselkhoznadzor and the State Veterinary Service themselves currently use in their work.

Currently, most of the programs in question have been completed and are being successfully tested. Moreover, 13 of them are in working condition and are actively used in practice. According to Nikolai Vlasov, deputy head of Rosselkhoznadzor, such a large set of software products is necessary to create a convenient digital environment that ensures biological food safety and comfortable operation of veterinary services throughout the country.

Product traceability system

Several decades ago, two large organizations - the UN Food and Agriculture Organization and the International Office of Epizootics - joined forces to form a simple, understandable and convenient principle for controlling the entire production chain. It traces products from the field where a particular product is grown to the store counter where it is sold. This system takes into account absolutely all the nuances, from the selection of fertilizers for specific plants or animal feed, to quality control of milk or meat on store shelves.

This mechanism is called product traceability. In other words, it allows you to accurately track the entire chain of growing plants or animals, their nutrition, their growth conditions, as well as all subsequent stages necessary for the production of a finished product of plant or animal origin. This means that even if you take an ordinary piece of meat in a store, you can quickly and accurately determine which animal it belonged to, in what conditions it was kept, how it was processed and stored.

Of course, for the competent implementation of such a mechanism at each stage of production, you need to have convenient mechanisms for determining the location of the product, tracking all routes of its transportation, processing methods, and so on. At the same time, it should be possible to find out absolutely everything about the product at any stage of its movement from the field to the counter. Obviously, the practical implementation of such a system is not an easy task, but, nevertheless, absolutely all civilized countries preferred it, and there are many reasons for this. Here are just a few of them:

Reliable protection against counterfeit and low-quality products of unknown origin reaching store shelves.
Convenient control over the level of food in the country, allowing for timely regulation of the agricultural sector.
Effective fight against corruption among supervisory authorities.
Ability to deal with fraud in the industry.
Minimizing bureaucracy and providing a convenient transparent mechanism for the comfortable operation of private businesses.

It is obvious that an analogue of this system should be present in every country, including Russia. Moreover, modern solutions and capabilities already make it possible to implement it. However, product manufacturers themselves across the country are divided into two completely opposite camps. Some are completely in favor of such changes and the introduction of such a promising and easy-to-use mechanism, while others are categorically against it. However, it is obvious that it is entrepreneurs who are resisting who do not conduct their business honestly and do not produce high-quality products, because then strict and unbiased control will put an end to their business, or at least require serious changes in the usual and established working mechanism .

However, the control system itself will improve people's health, expand the range of products, improve their quality and increase the well-being of entrepreneurs who honestly and responsibly engage in this difficult task. That is why Rosselkhoznadzor is the only organization in the country that invests enormous effort and resources in the implementation of a complete and high-quality world-class traceability system.

Their goal is to create conditions under which it will be possible to freely take any product of animal origin at any stage of its circulation and without problems obtain any information about it, from the source of raw materials for production to the retail points where it is sold. Moreover, if, for example, a problem arose on a farm and the cows were poisoned by poor-quality feed, then with the help of this system you can quickly track all the stores where the milk went in order to remove it from sale and protect people's health.

Veterinary certificate as the main element of traceability

It is veterinary certificates that are the basis on which traceability systems are based throughout the world. In fact, this document has much in common with an ordinary passport of any person, because without it we cannot do practically anything in society - neither find a job, nor go somewhere. It is to control the transportation of products that veterinary certificates are needed, because without them, goods cannot be sent outside the country or even to another region.

If we talk about Russia, the classic veterinary control and certification service is archaic, paid and completely unbiased. It is destroyed by corruption, the need to comply with a lot of unnecessary bureaucratic formalities and a strong dependence on resources. Such a system is ultimately inconvenient both for producers of goods and for the state itself, but worst of all, it poses a potential danger to the end consumer of the products.

Every year, several million paper certificates are issued in the country. This is a huge and waste of resources and time, but it does not guarantee any quality of the product at all. With the help of these documents, it is purely physically impossible to track the entire path of the goods from the field to the counter.

Let's assume that a shipment of smuggled meat is brought into the country. There is no information about it, but there is a high probability that it was produced in violation of regulations, since otherwise it would have simply been imported with official permission without the slightest problem. Further, on the territory of the country, with the help of a corrupt veterinarian, this meat is officially registered, then sent to other regions, where the batch is divided, and each part receives new certificates. This is how the legalization of such counterfeit products occurs.

Existing reporting forms, despite their high cost and security, can be easily counterfeited with some effort. For example, you can freely remove information printed on a laser printer and then reuse this form for your own purposes.

In fact, at this point, no additional effort needs to be made to distribute illegal products. To do this, you don’t even need to look for any loopholes in the legislation, since now not all products require a veterinary certificate. For example, milk is subject to certification, but butter made from the same milk is no longer subject to certification. A very large percentage of finished products are not tested, and additional additives are quite officially mixed into them. In the production of oil, palm oil, which is harmful to health, is often used, which has a low cost and makes it possible to obtain a huge volume of finished low-quality goods from a small amount of starting materials.

Automated system "Mercury" from Rosselkhoznadzor as a solution to the problem

Most countries have long been engaged in full automation of not only production, but also its accounting. Manual labor cannot bring such results, because with this approach the possibility of unintentional errors or deception is completely eliminated. Moreover, process automation speeds up the work process and makes the mechanism simple and transparent for all participants.

In the field of veterinary certification, such innovations are simply necessary, according to employees of the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phyto-Sanitary Control. Moreover, they are already implementing such changes in practice and, with the support of Rosselkhoznadzor, have assembled a team of experienced programmers who have created a unique and unparalleled system called “Mercury”. It will allow us to completely abandon the use of paper certificates and implement a convenient and modern product traceability system throughout the country.

The program began to be developed by Rosselkhoznadzor in 2009, and was initially intended for electronic certification of various cargoes, and further recording of their location in Russia and abroad.

In fact, with the help of this program an electronic database will be created. Only authorized users will have access to it; moreover, all of them will provide detailed information about themselves, and their actions will be saved and any changes made by each of them can be tracked in real time. At the same time, paper certificates will completely become history and give way to their more progressive digital counterparts.

It is worth noting that the Mercury system successfully works with other programs developed by Rosselkhoznadzor specialists, such as Vesta or Argus. All this allows us to create a unified information space in the field of food safety and veterinary medicine in the country. It provides many advantages, among which it is worth paying attention to:

The ability to trace all products throughout their production.
It will create fair competition, in which everyone will be on the same terms.
Will help protect consumers from low-quality goods.
Will eradicate corruption and eliminate the costs associated with it.
Allows control and supervisory authorities to easily control the entire process.
It will help save money for all participants in the chain, because now the cost of paperwork and other issues will be reduced.

If we talk separately about the Mercury program itself, then it sets itself a number of goals, which should include:

Save time on obtaining all official permits for transporting food cargo.
Full automation of all processes and documentation.
Automatic accounting of all products, both received and departed from a specific enterprise.
Creation of convenient mechanisms for accurately tracking the location of cargo on the territory of Russia, even after dividing it into small shipments.
Reducing the cost of issuing veterinary certificates due to a reduction in the number of people involved in the process and the complete elimination of expensive physical forms.
Elimination of the human factor and related errors.
Formation of a transparent database that makes it easy to analyze this or that information.

Who works in the Mercury system and how?

The system has several modules for the separate work of state veterinary inspectors of Rosselkhoznadzor, and regional veterinary departments of the country. They are the ones who oversee all food cargo entering Russia and moving within its borders.

In order to understand how the whole system functions, it is worth imagining the following situation. Let’s assume that 200 kilograms of fish from Bulgaria arrived in Moscow via air delivery. This cargo is addressed to the Vector company, located in the Vladimir region. The permit to import the product itself was issued at Domodedovo airport, at the local border checkpoint. This was done using the Argus system, which is part of the general network of Rosselkhoznadzor software products.

The next step for the cargo is to enter a special temporary storage warehouse, where Rosselkhoznadzor inspectors inspect it and re-issue all documents. In parallel with this, information about the current position of the fish is reflected in the Mercury program. There, the inspector enters the name of the cargo, its weight and volume, production date, expiration date, and also describes such points as the next destination of the cargo, and provides permission for its free sale.

The most interesting thing is that the next stage of verification is automatic, and the Mercury program performs it independently. After full approval of all aspects and confirmation of the accuracy of the information entered, the cargo is sent for sanitary and veterinary control, where specialists make a decision on its quality and suitability for use and sale.

If the cargo raises any suspicions among the inspector, he can take a sample of it and send it for analysis to the laboratory. An act for these actions is issued in another program of Rosselkhoznadzor, called “Vesta”. Since all software products are connected, the experts’ answer will come and be displayed not only in the Vesta system, but also in Mercury.

If there are no questions about the cargo, then a sanitary and veterinary inspection report is drawn up on the spot. The Mercury system checks all the information and makes a decision on whether the cargo should be allowed through. Next, the inspector agrees with him and draws up a new veterinary passport. Here, Rosselkhoznadzor specialists complete their part of the work and transfer the initiative to the employees of the state veterinary service. For them, the system has its own module called “State Veterinary Expertise”.

They inspect imported products after they arrive at a specific enterprise. Inside the system, they receive all current information about it, verify and confirm it. Then they transfer the information to another special journal, in which all subsequent actions with the cargo will be recorded. Moreover, tracking will work even if a large batch needs to be divided into smaller ones in order to be sent to points of sale. In this case, the veterinarian will need to complete the transactions.

These transactions involve any action with cargo, be it transportation, processing or sales. All information is entered into a special form, including the type and number of transport on which transportation will be carried out and the addresses of specific stores where the goods will be sold. Additionally, the volume of goods is indicated so that forgery or fraud can later be identified. As a result of all these actions, a special veterinary accompanying document is generated, which can be printed on any ordinary office paper, because all its protection is based on the presence of a special bar code and an additional identifier, with the help of which you can obtain all the information about a specific product in the system.

Automated Mercury system for food production

According to a similar, but somewhat more simplified principle, documents for domestic products are drawn up in the system. As a result, the program contains information about all stages of production, starting from the place where animals are raised, their quantity, feed used for them, to slaughter places, warehouses where meat is stored, enterprises where it is processed and stores where it is sold .

What is important is that at each stage a separate certificate is created, which allows you to create a direct chain of electronic documents that can be used to track the product to any stage of its production. Because of this, it will simply be impossible to enter counterfeit products into the system, and therefore to sell them and make a profit from them.

At the moment, situations arise in which some dairy plant received a ton of milk and produced three tons of butter. This is due to the fact that milk is subject to certification, but products made from it are not. At the same time, it is simply impossible to know the exact volumes of finished products. Using a control system like Mercury, this simply will not happen, because all interested parties, including the end consumer, can see all the information about the product.

A good example would be control over the harvest of aquatic biological resources. Suppose that in one of the regions fishing is prohibited for some reason. In this case, the system contains information about this, and it is simply impossible to obtain a certificate for such products and put them into circulation.

How is Mercury useful to ordinary customers?

Let's assume that you visited a store and purchased cottage cheese. Next, you made cheesecakes from it and soon realized that you were poisoned. If the cottage cheese is issued through paper certificates, it is very difficult, almost impossible, to actually find out where it came from. If we talk about Mercury control, there is a special bar code on the product packaging, with which you can find out all the information on the manufacturer and product yourself at any time. Of course, this will help Rosselkhoznadzor employees find the source of the problem, punish those responsible and, what is very important, quickly remove the entire batch from sale, saving the health of other people.

All electronic documents are processed only on the basis of older documents already existing in the system. This creates a chain of digital documentation that cannot be falsified.

Why hasn't Mercury been introduced everywhere yet?

It is obvious that the use of Mercury will become a real problem for many dishonest manufacturers, and therefore they do their best to prevent the introduction of this system. However, they are not alone against such an initiative. Regional veterinary services are also often against it, because with the new interaction mechanism they will not be able to process documents for money. Moreover, they are simply not ready and do not want to switch to a new, unfamiliar electronic system that they need to understand.

Fortunately, the Mercury development team provides training through a range of different methods, from video conferencing with individuals or groups to directly bringing employees in for refresher courses. They also conduct on-site training sessions. Moreover, even now you can get training at the Veterinary Committee of the city of Moscow, which actively took part in the development of the Mercury system. Also, the entire Vladimir region has already integrated the system into its work, and local specialists are training young staff.

Advantages and prospects of a multi-level traceability system

Rosselkhoznadzor has come a long way and achieved the implementation of a product traceability system in Russia. Already now the issuance of electronic certificates is a reality. However, this is just the beginning and there are still many important tasks ahead. The next stage will be the establishment of work in the field of electronic veterinary certification and interaction with major supplying countries, which will bring the issue of traceability to the international level.

At the moment, the entire cycle of electronic control begins with goods checkpoints at the border. But this path can be expanded and brought directly to foreign manufacturers with whom Russia cooperates. Thus, it will be possible to completely eliminate the possibility of transporting counterfeit products and smuggling under the guise of registered products. If even before arriving at the border it is known about the arrival of some specific goods, then the customs control process will be simpler and faster.

Of course, countries with underdeveloped internal traceability and product control are encouraged to integrate Mercury. If we talk about countries that already have their own system, the convenience of work will lie in the mutual support and integration of these two specific systems. Mercury system developers are actively in contact with foreign IT specialists and agree on integration work. At the moment, there are also first successes in this direction, as mutual cooperation has been established with New Zealand.

Mercury is the guardian of quality products!

The Mercury system has a complex structure, the implementation of which has been worked on by highly qualified professionals for many years. And even now, when the program is working successfully, they are constantly improving and developing it in order to make product control more perfect.

Rosselkhoznadzor employees hope that their work will make the traceability system convenient and inevitable. With the help of the Mercury system, every year work will become much easier for all respectable producers and consumers, and control over all turnover will be stricter and more accurate. Of course, this will have a positive impact on the standard of living of all residents of the country.

On July 1, 2018, FSIS “Mercury” will begin to operate in Russia. This is the system through which all veterinary accompanying documents for cargo controlled by the State Veterinary Supervision Authority will pass.

Why is FSIS "Mercury" needed?

All manufacturers, distributors, and retailers who produce or sell goods supervised by State Veterinary Control must connect to Mercury. These are meat processing plants, dairies, poultry farms, seafood producers, farms (see) and breeding farms, retail stores, wholesale centers, catering establishments, retail chains and logistics centers. State veterinarians who provide services to these enterprises must also register in the system.

The main goal of introducing FSIS is to replace paper electronic veterinary certificates and certificates certified by veterinarians with electronic ones. They will be issued through the system. This is done in order to save time and costs for entrepreneurs, as well as to reduce the notorious human factor to a minimum.

Product accounting when using FSIS “Mercury” will be carried out automatically, thanks to which it is possible to track the entire path of movement of a consignment, from the supply of raw materials and production of products to its delivery to the end consumer. All necessary information will be concentrated in a single centralized database.

For those who do not connect to the FSIS “Mercury” after its official launch, administrative penalties are provided. In the absence of information about the electronic veterinary accompanying document for the cargo (QR codes or unique UUID identifiers), the driver of the car transporting it will be fined 3,000 rubles, and a legal entity - in the amount of 10,000 to 20,000 rubles.

In addition, the activities of a company that violates the law may be suspended for up to 90 days.

How to register in the system? FSIS "Mercury" is accessible from anywhere in the world where there is Internet, at any time. This is a web application that works through any browser. The developers of the system claim that it is reliably protected, as it is located on a special server. In the event of an emergency, a backup server is connected: data processing is carried out continuously.

What you need to connect:

1. Statement.

To register in the system, you need to fill out an application to Rosselkhoznadzor on paper for submission to the territorial office of Rosselkhoznadzor or in electronic form for sending by email.

If the application is submitted electronically, individual entrepreneurs must certify it with a simple electronic signature and send it to the address: [email protected].

Legal entities must support the application with an enhanced qualified electronic signature (CES) of the manager and send it to the following address: [email protected].

2. Registration

The user receives a login and password by email, after which he can begin working with Mercury.

3. Choosing a method of working with FSIS “Mercury”

The system provides two types of work:

First way. Via a web application that can be connected via any browser. Access to it is provided free of charge, through the system’s personal account. In this case, all information about the product is entered manually. This must be done online by a specially trained operator.

This option is suitable for manufacturing companies or sellers with a small number of products.

On the official website you can see detailed instructions for working with the Mercury interface.

This principle of operation, according to users who have already tested working with FSIS “Mercury”, is not entirely convenient and understandable.

Second way. Through interaction with the company’s commodity accounting system.

This method is suitable:

companies already working with a commodity accounting system,
companies with a large range of agricultural products produced or sold, and, therefore, working with a lot of veterinary certificates and invoices. (However, in this case, you also need to select and install a commodity accounting program that will help automate trade processes, including the processes of working with FSIS “Mercury”).

The process of integrating a commodity accounting system with FSIS can be either paid or free, depending on what exactly the developer offers.

How can a store choose a commodity accounting system to work with FSIS “Mercury”?

When choosing a commodity accounting system for your company, it is important to consider a number of nuances. Inventory accounting programs can be “out of the box” or cloud-based.

Out of the box solution- this is software that is purchased on disk (or downloaded from the Internet) and installed locally on the enterprise server (computer). Support and further development of the program is carried out by full-time specialists.

If the inventory accounting program is “out of the box” (such an option, for example, is provided by 1C), to integrate with FSIS “Mercury” you will need to invite a specialist (developer’s representative). Most likely this will be a paid service. In the future, the company will need to monitor changes in legislation and requirements for working with FSIS “Mercury” independently. To update work with the system and correspondingly update the inventory program, you will again have to hire a specialist.

Cloud solution(SaaS - software as a service) - the software is located on the developer’s remote server (or, as they also say, “in the cloud”). In this case, the company receives online access to the finished program, creates a personal account there and uses the service.
If the inventory accounting program is cloud-based, integration with FSIS “Mercury” will most likely be free - all updates in cloud programs occur centrally and automatically. The developer himself monitors all changes in legislation in order to make changes to the program in a timely manner. This is done to ensure that all clients can work with the most current version of the software without breaking the law. And “Mercury” is no exception.

Functionality available in the commodity accounting system

This is not only integration with Mercury, but also a lot of other features that allow you to automate trading (see). And, accordingly, significantly simplify the work of an entrepreneur: eliminate the need to deal with routine operations and free up time for more important matters, minimize staff errors, receive correct analytics about sales, profits, balances, etc.

What other functions may commodity accounting systems have:

Accounting for the movement of goods;
Automation of purchasing and pricing processes;
Automatic generation of trade documents;
Monitoring and managing the operation of the outlet;
Formation and accounting of promotions and sales on customer bonus cards;
Automation of work with EGAIS;
Automatic generation of analytical reports (how much was sold, for what amount, how much was earned, what was not sold, what discounts were provided, etc.).

How exactly can the integration of a commodity accounting system with FSIS be organized? Rimma Temereva, analyst of the commodity accounting cloud service LiteBox (Lightbox), comments

“Our merchandise accounting program has already implemented integration with the Mercury system, and users do not pay extra for updates and work with this system. We have implemented the functionality of obtaining veterinary certificates from FSIS with the ability to cancel them. And if there are discrepancies in quality or quantity, the program automatically generates acts of discrepancy or return veterinary certificates and sends them to the system. Our users can also print VSD, QR codes, and acts of non-compliance.

We provide our users with the opportunity to test the operation of Mercury before its official launch. To do this, we generate certificates, demonstrate their cancellation and other actions. For us, this is a mutually beneficial process: users learn to interact with FSIS, and we receive feedback - what exactly needs to be improved for the user’s convenience, where the most difficult places are for him, what can be improved in the future.”

The conclusion is obvious: in order for companies to work successfully with Mercury, they need to choose an inventory program without neglecting important details. Otherwise, from a faithful “assistant” it will turn into a headache for the seller or manufacturer.

Main purpose of the system:

The automated Mercury system is designed for electronic certification of goods supervised by state veterinary supervision, tracking the path of their movement across the territory of the Russian Federation in order to create a unified information environment for veterinary medicine, increasing biological and food safety.

Goals of creation:

Reducing the time for preparing veterinary accompanying documentation by automating this process.
- Automatic accounting of incoming and outgoing volumes of products at the enterprise (refrigerator, warehouse, food processing facility, etc.).
- Entering and storing information about selected samples for the study of imported products.
- The ability to track the movement of a consignment across the territory of the Russian Federation, taking into account its fragmentation.
- Reducing labor, material and financial costs for issuing VSD by replacing secure paper VSD forms with electronic versions.
- Minimization of human errors, thanks to the availability of ready-made forms for entering information, as well as checking user-entered data.

Creation of a single centralized database for quick access to up-to-date information, for generating reports, searching and analyzing information.

General system diagram

The Mercury system is implemented as a web application, i.e. users interact with the system via the Internet. Thanks to this, all users always have access to up-to-date information. The work is carried out using a regular web browser (browser), for example Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc. Thus, the user does not need to install anything at his workplace.

The Mercury system is located on a central server, which is also connected to the Internet, and processes requests received from users and generates responses. Since the central server may be unavailable (for example, if it is disconnected from the Internet or there is no power supply), a geographically remote backup server is provided, which automatically replicates with the central one and, if it is disconnected, begins processing user requests until the main server is restored.

Rice. 1. Scheme of organizing the user’s work with the system

To work with the Mercury system, it is recommended to use the Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox browser version 3.0 or higher. It also supports Internet Explorer version 7.0 and higher, which is included with the Windows operating system. Work in other browsers (Opera, Safari, etc.) has not been fully tested. To log into the system, the user must type a specific address in the address bar of the browser and enter into the system his user name and password, issued to the employee when registering in the system.

If the user temporarily does not have access to the Internet, then it is planned to develop a desktop version of the Mercury system, which will require installation at the workplace and with which users can work in the absence of a connection to the network, and when it appears, they can synchronize the data entered on the local computer data with a central server.

Explanations for the diagram:

– Imported cargo is received at the temporary storage warehouse for veterinary inspection and full customs clearance. Here the cargo is inspected and a veterinary certificate is issued for transporting the cargo to the recipient's warehouse.
– The cargo follows the issued veterinary certificate to the recipient’s warehouse; When cargo arrives at the warehouse, information about it is entered into the warehouse's entry log, and the veterinary certificate is canceled.
– When sending the cargo to the final recipient or to another warehouse, a new veterinary accompanying document (veterinary certificate or certificate) is issued.
- Cargo according to the issued VSD is sent to another warehouse or sent to the final recipient; the final recipient extinguishes the VSD through which the cargo was received.

System update

The automated Mercury system is constantly being improved and is regularly updated due to changes made. The system update process occurs on the server and does not affect the user's work.
