RE: [ubl-dev] Delivery address/party in the Order

["Sylvia Webb" <swebb@gefeg.com>]

Magnus,

Thank you for your comments.

You are correct. Destination Party does not exist at the header level of
Order.  The UBL Procurement Subcommittee had considerable discussion about
various party roles and whether they should be at the header level, detail
level, or both.  Where we didn't have specific use cases, we tended to place
certain roles at the detail level.

Please submit your comments to
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/comments/form.php?wg_abbrev=ubl and the
Procurement Subcommittee will consider your request as part of our review of
all comments on the UBL 2.0 draft package. 

Regards,
Sylvia Webb

Subject: [ubl-dev] Delivery address/party in the Order

Dear all,

Looking at the Delivery (UBL-CommonAggregateComponents-2) used in the order
message I have a question.

A common scenario for us is to receive an order from Company A and then make
the delivery to Company A's customer Company B with whom we do not have a
business relation with.
All the lines are to be delivered to the same destination.
I am comparing with the information we need to get in our EDIFACT ORDERS
(NAD+DP) today. (DP= Delivery party(3144) Party to which goods should be
delivered, if not identical with consignee.

What I'm missing is the DestinationParty on a header level, either directly
under the Order or under the Order.Delivery.
The Order.OrderLine.LineItem.DestinationParty would in my opinion be I'm
just thinking that there is a Order.Delivery.OriginatorParty so to me it
would feel natural to have a Order.Delivery.DestinationParty or an optional
Order.DestinationParty.

I could of course use the Order.Delivery.Delivery_Address.ID or the first
Delivery_Address.Address Line and feel happy about that, or even use the
DestinationParty on the first line.

Any thoughts regarding this would be appreciated.

Mvh/Brgds,
