Re: [ubl-dev] Simple ODF/XForms (OOo2/SO8) for UBL 1.0 Invoice

["Stephen Green" <stephen_green@seventhproject.co.uk>]

Please note that if you open these forms

from the web archive they will need the

filename extensions changing to .odt

 

Also, if you have unix/linux you'll need to

change the target filepath/url for the submission

and the same change for the linked file of the

readonly form. At present both point to

file:///c:/invoice.xml so they could be changed

to something like file:///home/invoice.xml (not

quite sure if this is correct).

 

It should be possible to create a simple UBL 1.0

Invoice with one form (saved locally) then use

the other form to read it (from where it is saved)

and convert it to pdf (OpenOffice 2 and Star

Office 8 have this facility). Then either or both

as appropriate could be sent say by email (for

micro/small businesses this might be OK - please

don't blame me if it isn't) as attachments and/or

imported somehow into a finance system or

spreadsheet (perhaps with an office product

macro, say). Note that the first form, if used to

directly create a pdf, will in OOo2/SO8, produce

a form that can be edited before printing and this

would be unacceptably risky for sending as an

Invoice. Again, please accept that the use of the

forms is at users own risk.

 

All the best

Peace and Goodwill to all -

And y'all Love the Almighty back with all you've got!

Subject: [ubl-dev] Simple ODF/XForms (OOo2/SO8) for UBL 1.0 Invoice

Folks,

 

Just in time for the holidays I've produced

(for 'Open Source Academy' but anyone can

use them if you do so at your own risk) a

couple of forms, one for input, the other for

reading and exporting to PDF, to produce

crude but possible useful UBL 1.0 invoices.

They would probably suit a micro business

and illustrate the ODF/XForms combination

used in OpenOffice 2 and StarOffice 8.

Please forgive the ultra-simplicity (there are

just 10 lines and I couldn't yet find a way to

not output lines when they are void of data).

 

I'd welcome feedback so I can improve these

(again as part of some open source work).

 

I hope the archive can accept the attachments,

sorry if this doesn't work - please ignore this

email then and I'll try another way later.

 

All the best and happy holidays.

 

Stephen Green
