Consignee <> DestinationParty

Hello everyone,

We are defining a document model for an order. Our work is based on UBL-Order-1.0 and UBL’s customization principles.

As I see it, UBL is a very promising initiative; soon we will find out how it fits in the needs of a Finnish industry.

As I remember it, UBL-Order-0.7 included Order->Consignee – element for details about a party for whom the ordered items will be delivered.

UBL-Order-1.0 doesn’t seem to include this element. For some reason I didn’t find any information related to this change.

Have I understood it right, if I claim that the earlier Order->Consignee information should be now contained in Order->OrderLine->LineItem->DestinationParty –element?

Could someone explain details behind this change? DestinationParty –element is, of course, needed on the LineItem level but in a case where I only have one DestinationParty I would prefer to inform this only once on the Order level.

With best regards,

Juha Ikävalko
