Re: [ubl-comment] FreightCreditNote?

[JAVEST by Roberto Cisternino <roberto.cisternino@javest.com>]

Hello Guido,
CEN-BII and OpenPEPPOL are not using the FreightInvoice.

The profile 5 "Billing" also has a precise rule for invoices and credit notes:

tbr14-052 - The total amount of the document and due amount cannot be negative.

The Billi profile also uses two UBL documents:
- UBL-Invoice-2.1
- UBL-CreditNote-2.1

It is true there is not a FreightCreditNote however, so question is, if a Carrier needs to send a Credit Note to a Freight Forwarder which is related to a container freigth, does he have all information required ?
The generic CreditNote of UBL should be sufficient usually because it should reference a previous Invoice where all industry details are already provided. So if the previous invoice was an UBL-FreigthInvoice-2.1 all should be fine.  I would say it is important to reference the credited invoice and maybe it is not strictly necessary to provide (repeat) all industry-specific details such as shipment info in the credit note.

it is my opinion however....

Best regards

Roberto

Hello,

 

FreightInvoice is a special case of the Invoice document, mandatory including a ‘Shipment’ tag to include transportation details.

 

With CEN-BII and openPeppol BIS profiles moving to profile 5, their recommendation now is to send a CreditNote document for invoices with negative amounts / corrective / cancellation invoices, instead of indicating inside the Invoice document (with the DocumentType tag) whether the Invoice is an invoice or a creditnote.

 

In that logic, shouldn’t there be a UBL document FreightCreditNote?

 

Kind regards,
