Subject: Re: [ubl-comment] Simple purchase order
firstly, let me thank you for adopting UBL in your project. As you would be aware this is a work in progress (like most standards) and it is practical feedback from the field that both improves our work and encourages us to persist. to answer you specific concerns (and some of my colleagues may wish to add their opinions as well)... 1. How to include sub-total amount (without tax)? I would interpret this as a derived business information entity. it is PriceAmount less TaxAmount (in most cases). in which case it is not technically necessary for the document. We sometimes concede on this rule (e.g. the other totals) but only where it may be possible only to send totals and not the constituent parts. If you believe that this sub-total is not PriceAmount less TaxAmount then we would be happy to have your definition and put it for consideration into the next version of the library. 2. How to include a default tax rate in the summary? The same tax rate is applied for the whole order so it appears in the summary and not in lines. There is really no logical difference between Header and Summary - it just folows traditional views of the document. So the entity you require can be in the Header or Summary. Currently, the only way to use a Tax structure is to create it with the OrderHeader.PaymentVariation. I tend to feel this is not intuitive, however it is possible. Again we are happy to consider this as input into our current Library review 3. I put the shipment amount in the header as <PaymentVariation>. Is this correct? Yes it is correct. This is similar to the case above (2.) but shows a more legitimate use of payment variations. you have correctly qualified the variation as being 'shipping'. Hope this helps.
