Re: [ubl-dev] unit code ?

I should add that this limitation is the main reason why we have designed UBL 2.1 to de-couple code values from schemas.

Hello Fabio,
UBL Swinger provides the xsd enumeration required by any Business
Information Entity derived from a QuantityType data type.

The Unit Code enumeration is available in the common/ folder of UBL and is
named:  CodeList_UnitCode_UNECE_7_04.xsd

In UBL there are a small set of code lists that are not decoupled by the
XML Schema as they are part of the Unqualified Data Types which are Core
data types from CCTS and thus base types for interoperability.

You cannot change that code list, but it should be a complete list as long
as I know.

Hope this helps,

Roberto Cisternino

Hi,
when I write the quantity of items ( for example in a despatch advice),  I
see that that the  UBL-Swinger
makes me to choose in a list of unit code (KGM for Kilograms,  LTR for
Litre
...).

What list is it ? It it defined in a ISO standard ? Can I use other unite
code list instead ?

thank you - Fabio
