RE: [ubl-dev] UBL Order

["Marzka, Jeremy" <JMarzka@kaydon.com>]

Ken,

Thanks for you response. I also felt like there should be some metadata
on the item numbers but I don't know what to use.

In my example the StandardItemIdentification is a UPC number and the
AdditionalItemIdentification is a customer specific number that they
refer to as a MINO.

Would this be ok to do?

<cac:StandardItemIdentification>
    <cbc:ID schemaName="UPC">662729165844</cbc:ID>
</cac:StandardItemIdentification>
<cac:AdditionalItemIdentification>
    <cbc:ID schemaName="MINO">B41106</cbc:ID>
</cac:AdditionalItemIdentification>

Thanks
Jeremy

Thank you for posting your thoughts on this.

That declaration is not needed as it is never used in a UBL instance 
and should not have been in the examples in the UBL delivery.

So that leaves only the default namespace for order and the two 
namespaces associated with cbc: and cac:.  The other three are 
useless and provide no benefit.

I see you have a contact, but wouldn't the party itself have a name 
that should be included?

That identifier might suit instance-level metadata to disambiguate 
terminology, though of course I recognize it is common terminology in 
its context.  A bit like currency codes ... no real need to 
disambiguate "USD".  But it seemed a bit naked to me.

Roberto, what metadata would you use for the Incoterms list of values?

I wonder if some instance-level metadata here might help.  Just in 
case there are conflicting identifiers from other sources.  Perhaps 
the seller has multiple catalogues and knowing which collection of 
identifiers a particular identifier is from would help.

Well done!  I hope others will add their critiques as well.
