Subject: RE: [ubl-psc] Weights and measures in Order documents
These are very important in the consumer products and
retail industry where the amount ordered, shipped, and invoiced are based
weight, volume, and quantity packed. Examples of commodities are raw materials
like fabric and foods like flour, sugar, wines and spirits, etc.
Ordering, shipping, and invoicing in the petroleum and
chemical industries may be weight and volume based as well.

It was questioned why we had the following items in the Order

They are there because they were inherited in the original UBL from the xCBL Order Summary structure. And, to date, no-one has challenged them. The only past comments I could find justifying this are: This is particularly important for the industries like tobacco where tax is calculated on the weight of the cigarettes rather than on the retail item.(UBL 0p65 Jan 2002) Note, that they are not used in the UBL 1.0 Small Business Subset. Also they are all optional and can be derived from the underlying Order Line Items - they are derivative totals. So unless we can get someone to come up with a justification, it looks like we may drop these. -- regards tim mcgrath phone: +618 93352228 postal: po box 1289 fremantle western australia 6160 DOCUMENT ENGINEERING: Analyzing and Designing Documents for Business Informatics and Web Services http://www.docengineering.com/ |
