Hello David,

you are right, there is no version for a Party information, we have 
version only in the UBL-BusinessCard that we use to send Party information.

So the solution is at the implementation profile level. Implementers 
(user groups) must agree a way to update Party information when it's needed.

There are several choices for that:

1) Send a new UBL-BusinessCard (with a new Version)

2) Specify in the Invoice implementation profile specification that the 
SupplierCustomerParty information must be used as a first source for 
updating both accounting and invoicing systems. Into this case the 
recipient will be constrained to check any single invoice to see if are 
there any changes in the Party data.

Of course the (1) is cheaper in terms of time and software efforts.
