Basic Invoice - How Names Are Linked / Determined

[jaymuz@optusnet.com.au]

Hi,

I'm nearly there. Thanks for your answers.

A bit of clarification on what is following what here [if any] with regards names.

1. The tag name <tagname></tagname> is taken from ref attribut value "cac:InvoicePeriod" even though the element name is "InvoicePeriod" in cac [as otherwise namespaces wouldn't function. Correct?

2. In this line in Invoice:
<ccts:DictionaryEntryName>Invoice. Invoice_ Period. Period</ccts:DictionaryEntryName>

To determine what should be after Invoice_ Period. we look for the ObjectClass tag of the next level in this case the complex type definition. Correct?

<ccts:ObjectClass>Period</ccts:ObjectClass>

3. If that be the case then where do we get the string "details" in:
<ccts:DictionaryEntryName>Period. Details</ccts:DictionaryEntryName>

and the string "Date" in:
<ccts:DictionaryEntryName>Period. Start Date. Date</ccts:DictionaryEntryName>
