That's excellent. Were you able to do all necessary customization of the
common ABIEs, etc without resorting to new CAC or CBC Schemas then?
That would be very encouraging. I'd like to do the same with 'UBL Lite'
but hoping to get away with keeping the same namespaces in the invoice and
order
documents (if that's the way it goes) (for reasons folk will be tired of
hearing)

Thanks for sharing it with us.
