RE: [tax] Request from UBL for Comments

It appears that there is no way to specify the units of a line item other than by putting it as text in the description.  So you'd have line items such as "description='bushels of beans' quantity='5'", and "description='peck of pickled peppers', quantity='1'", rather than a description that would have a separate unit of measure (uom), e.g. "beans, quantity 3, uom bushel" "peppers, quantity 1, uom peck".  That seems like a surprising ommission.  Since that is the first thing I notice in 3 minutes' scanning, I assume there may be other surprises in there.

Subject: [tax] Request from UBL for Comments

John,

 

I would like to add an item the item Review UBL Small Business Subset Invoice to the agenda for tomorrow's meeting.  The SBS Invoice is a subset of the Invoice we have already provided comments on.  It isn't necessary to review these documents before tomorrow's meeting.

 

This invoice was just approved by the UBL TC this morning.

 

Regards,

Sylvia
