About CodeList for UnitCode

["Véronique Testa" <veronique.testa@cegedim.fr>]

UBL 2.0 : Quantity (InvoicedQuantity, BaseQuantity...) is associated to the only one attribute "UnitCode". UnitCode allowed are issued from the codelist defined by UN/CEFACT Rec 20. This specification provides a good way to identify the information in multiple business situations but still for EDI traditional partner inheritance, we need to keep and transmit other codes.

 

Take for example:EDI Invoic D96a received with the following :

QTY+47:2050:PCE

QTY+52:6:PCE

...

PRI+AAB:1.518:::1:PCE

PRI+AAA:1.548:::1:PCE

 

In this exemple, the Unit is PCE  which is unknown in "CodeList_UnitCode_UNECE_7_04.xsd" . Expected or oversight ???

The syntax in UBL 1.0 output file (ie QTY+47:2050:PCE)  is  : <cbc:InvoicedQuantity quantityUnitCode="PCE">2050</cbc:InvoicedQuantity>

This syntax is not valid in UBL 2.0. To keep the compatibility I thought we will be able to use : <cbc:InvoicedQuantity unitCode="ZZ">2050</cbc:InvoicedQuantity> but where could we note that mutually code is PCE ???

 

Thx for help
