Subject: RE: SV: [ubl-dev] Simple ODF/XForms (OOo2/SO8) for UBL 1.0 Invoice
Bryan, Interesting enough - the project I'm leading for NIH here has just taken the next step beyond this. Actually allowing the PDFs to be sent electronically directly - without the paper in between - and using a blend of webservices and ebXML Hermes to do this with - along with PureEdge forms for the submitters (I'd have preferred XForms - but that part was not built by us). We then post-process the PDFs and load them into the existing internal applications tracking system - eliminating the paper and the scanning steps. We've just processed about 9,000 submissions and generated 2,000 PDF final images in the past 6 weeks.

Companies that only have a certain amount of contact with the government per year can send their invoices to scanning agencies that then send them forward. Cheers, Bryan Rasmussen -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Stephen Green [mailto:stephen_green@seventhproject.co.uk] Sendt: 23. december 2005 11:44 Til: ubl-dev@lists.oasis-open.org Emne: Re: [ubl-dev] Simple ODF/XForms (OOo2/SO8) for UBL 1.0 Invoice Apologies folks, I found some errors in my work (not surprised, just dismayed). The 'readonly' spreadsheet isn't readonly, for a start, and it shouldn't include the currency combo box. The other XML form has a readonly combo box. No idea how all that happened (I'll blame it on the gremlins :-) Anyway, I'm getting into constraint problems from higher so, though I'll try to send out improved versions, I may have my time on this curtailed - in which case it'll be up to others to fix things if they wish to use them or take them further. I hope there's enough done to give the idea though. Having such forms available to as many as possible ('bridging the digital divide' as much as possible) would be nice though... By the way, a crazy idea I had was that if folk don't have email access (like myself out of working hours) what if those who process invoices by scanning them were to configure their OCR to read UBL (printed), then folk could send printed UBL invoices (etc) without the hassle of conversion to pdf (if they've already a means to easily produce UBL). Crazy?

At present both point to file:///c:/invoice.xml so they could be changed to something like file:///home/invoice.xml (not quite sure if this is correct). It should be possible to create a simple UBL 1.0 Invoice with one form (saved locally) then use the other form to read it (from where it is saved) and convert it to pdf (OpenOffice 2 and Star Office 8 have this facility). Then either or both as appropriate could be sent say by email (for micro/small businesses this might be OK - please don't blame me if it isn't) as attachments and/or imported somehow into a finance system or spreadsheet (perhaps with an office product macro, say). Note that the first form, if used to directly create a pdf, will in OOo2/SO8, produce a form that can be edited before printing and this would be unacceptably risky for sending as an Invoice. Again, please accept that the use of the forms is at users own risk. All the best Stephen Green PS Really loved Juha's UBL greeting customisation! Peace and Goodwill to all - And y'all Love the Almighty back with all you've got! ----- Original Message ----- From: Stephen Green To: ubl-dev@lists.oasis-open.org Sent: Wednesday, December 21, 2005 7:07 PM Subject: [ubl-dev] Simple ODF/XForms (OOo2/SO8) for UBL 1.0 Invoice Folks, Just in time for the holidays I've produced (for 'Open Source Academy' but anyone can use them if you do so at your own risk) a couple of forms, one for input, the other for reading and exporting to PDF, to produce crude but possible useful UBL 1.0 invoices. They would probably suit a micro business and illustrate the ODF/XForms combination used in OpenOffice 2 and StarOffice 8. Please forgive the ultra-simplicity (there are just 10 lines and I couldn't yet find a way to not output lines when they are void of data). I'd welcome feedback so I can improve these (again as part of some open source work). I hope the archive can accept the attachments, sorry if this doesn't work - please ignore this email then and I'll try another way later. All the best and happy holidays.
