Subject: Re: [ubl-sbsc] Specification approach for UBL 2 SBS
Good news... I've been working on the next draft SBS based on the latest pro-PRD2 UBL 2 draft schemas and have a set of schema files which all work from the same Common schema modules. Also, we have received some excellent comments from JPLSC/ECOM based on their gap anaylsis against the ECOM schemas for SMEs. The following is an extract regarding the SBS (submitted here with permission; many thanks to JPLSC): "2.2.2 Mapping to SBS 37% BIEs (including Direct mapped BIEs and substituted mapped BIEs) of the Manufacturing SMS Business Document are mapped to SBS V1.0. 64% BIEs (including not mapped in SBS and not mapped in UBL) are not mapped to SBS V1.0 (1)Mapping impossible BIEs in SBS (Indispensable and semi indispensable) (a)Indispensable BIEs BIE description in Japanese BIE description in English Comments ?????? Buyer Identification There is no PartyIdentification in SBS. ?????? Seller Identification There is no PartyIdentification in SBS. ???????? Buyer item identification There is no BuyerItemIdentification in SBS. ???????? Item name There is no Name in SBS. ???? Delivery address ID There is Delivery Address, but there is no ID in SBS. ?????? Delivery quantity There is Delivery, but there is no Quantity in SBS. (b)Semi indispensable BIEs BIE description in Japanese BIE description in English Comments ??????? Buyer party contact ID There is Contact in SBS, but there is no ID in SBS. ???? Buyer lot number identification There is no LotIdentification in SBS. ?? Item version number Capable to be substituted by AdditionalItemIdentification of Item. There is no AdditionalItemIdentification of Item in SBS. ???????? Physical attribute , measurement dimension, and others There is no BuyerItemIdentification in SBS. ???? Inspection method code There is no InspectionMethodCode in SBS. ?????? Delivery ID There is Delivery, but there is no ID in SBS. ?????????? Buyer barcode information This BIE is used to use AdditionalItemIdentification. There is no Additional ItemIdentification in SBS. ???? Tax type code Tere is no TaxCategory in SBS. ?????? Payment means code There is no AllowanceCharge in SBS. ???? Tax total amount There is no TaxTotalAmount in SBS. ??? Total amount including Tax. There is no ChargeTotalAmount in SBS V1.0. (2)Evaluation about SBS It will be difficult to adopt SBS in Japanese marketplace, because many BIEs are not included in SBS BIEs. The mapping percentage of Japanese major business document to SBS V1.0 is small comparing fullset UBL V2.0. We would like to make UBL subset to Japanese marketplace based on the fullset UBL V2.0. If SBS V1.0 would be revised based on UBL V2.0, the mapping percentage of Japanese major business document to SBS would be much bigger. The birth and background of both UBL SBS and Japanese Manufacturing SME business document is different each other. Therefore, it will be natural to think that these two business documents have many differences." I have sought to incorporate at least the 'indispensible' items into the SBS. I hope to send the schema files soon, once I've checked them through. I'm also working on examples which may be af value for the PRD2 UBL 2package.
