Re: [ubl-dev] When requesting a Delivery in an Order

David,

there is no "real" element in UBL where you can specify the "opening hours" of a specific location/address.

In most cases cac:RequestedDeliveryPeriod is used to specify WHEN you want to receive the goods.

If the party placing the order would like to receive the goods at a date when the DeliveryLocation/DeliveryAddress is open .. you can set a specific duration on that day by using start/end times with the day you want to receive the goods that corresponds with the opening hours of that specific day.

Some parties want to use "TimeSlots" and are already reserving a specific timeslot on a specific date when they are ready to receive the goods. Than you use a more fine start/end time and the supplier/carrier is expected at that specific timeslot.

When you don't care about the exact date ... but lets say roughly a week in which you want to receive the goods than you can specify that using the start/end dates (so not use the times) .. and use the DeliveryInstructions to specify that they need to contact the DeliveryParty to make a final delivery appointment. (currently outside of the scope of UBL)

please keep in mind that this is a RequestedDeliveryPeriod .. and that the supplier can comeback in a OrderResponse with an alternative (or more detailed) PromisedDeliveryPeriod to tell when he is able to make the delivery based on his calendar/capabilities etc.

how do I specify the opening hours of the receiving location? Should this be done using the RequestedDeliveryPeriod set, using just the start and end time fields and something list "Opening Hours" in the description?
