Subject: EDI to UBL
Dear all, We are working in the implementation of UBL 1.0 in different scenarios in Spain. One of the sectors we are working with have some companies that are still transacting electronically with EDI messages based on the UN/EDIFACT standard. Now, we are proposing them the use of UBL for those of their trader partners who are not able to setup an EDI environment, based on ease of use and economical criteria. Those companies have received our proposal with a high degree of approval. So, as the EDI users need to receive documents in EDI format and new trader partners are sending messages in UBL format, we need to develop a data mapper between EDI and UBL, and we are starting with the Invoice. In that scenario we have some questions that need to be answered: 1.- In EDI there are many roles defined by NAD 3035 Party qualifier element. And so herein Spain, the EDI users use some of those qualifiers to establish basically the following items: a) From the Buyer point of view The Buyer The people who asked for the goods The Invoice recipient The payer The goods recipient The document recipient b) From the Seller point of view The seller The provider The invoice issuer The payee As in UBL there are only two main Parties, the SellerParty and the BuyerParty without a qualification, we would like to know how we can map those different EDI parties in UBL. The different options as long as we can see are: 1) Using AdditionalAccountID in BuyerParty or SellerParty. The problem with that way is that we cannot qualify the ID. 2) Incrementing the Party cardinality inside the BuyerParty or SellerParty. That way we also need a party qualifier inside the party. 3) Locate each different role in its correspondant localization. For instance, the payer can be placed in cac:PaymentMeans/cac:PayerFinancialAccount/cac:ID. The problem with that approach is the disability to define that party attributes. We are looking forward to hearing from anyone who can give us an advice on how to implement that EDI to UBL mapping. Best regards.
