I think we are saying the same thing.
If I send an invoice that says "please pay to account xyz" then that is what the recipient should do. Even if their supplier file says that supplier has payment account pqr
It's a separate thing to send a business card (or better still, point to a registry that holds it) that says "please change your master file so that all future Payments go to xyz" Steven Capell Mob: 0410 437854
I have few comments

In the common business it is an error to ignore financial
information (bank coordinates) provided along with the Invoice.
For Party's legal name, address and Tax ID it is quite the same.
Between well known trading partners it is common to receive an
e-mail stating there have been a change in the company address,
tax id or other data. The UBL BusinessCard holds Party
information and is best suited for updating our partners with a
new version of our business data/coordinates.
The specific process and rules for using the BusinessCard are
outside of scope of UBL, so implementers may decide to use the
BusinessCard document together other transactions in the Billing
process or other processes.
The BusinessCard can be used into several processes:
- Party Introduction process (just published online)
- As part of other processes for communication of any business,
legal, financial updates
- As import/export format to/from business directories
A business process (implementation) profile specification is the
way to design this kind of business collaborations.

Apologies in advance if I am stating the obvious
here, but I think many of the discussions I have seen on this
thread on this and similar topics may be confusing the idea of
transaction data and master data.
In my view
- The UBL invoice is a statement of transactional fact
that is valid only in context of the specific invoice
transaction and does not imply any instruction to update
master data. "Here is my invoice for $200, please pay it
to my account xyz".
- If the supplier has separately sent a business card with
bank account details then that does not override the
specific instruction in the invoice. it would update the
master data record of the buyer and would be relevant for
things like RCTI (recipient created tax invoice) - eg
"thanks for your timesheet, we've paid $200 into the
account we have on file for you"
The only time you'd look to your master data record for
whatever is the current bank account details for your
supplier is of the invoice payment means said something like
"as per my business card that you can find at this end point
URL". Personally I think it would be good practice to say
exactly that. not just for bank account details but also
for shipping addresses etc. But for it to work, I think the
invoice as to say "please pay as per my current business
card" and not "please pay as i specify in this document"
But UBL doesnt really (so far as I can see) have a means to
say that.
