In the absense of an ISC meeting I raised this with

Stephen Parker of Impaq who are implementing UBL

His view was that these sorts of changes (name

changes and smaller other changes) would not

require much work in adapting their implementation.

I too would regard the changes as having low impact

on any development in my own experience.

I therefore will undertake to make the changes

but will keep a separate draft without them as

a fallback in case someone raises greater

misgivings. Thanks Anne though for pointing out

the name change effects. I raised it at FPSC and

we didn't think it likely to cause much disruption

to our work or to Ken's or to the instance samples.

 

Another point

Unless I hear to the contrary I'll take it that I shouldn't

include in the model changes either the inclusion of

more Dispatch Advice details in the Invoice or the

proposed but not agreed Despatch Date (as distinct

from Delivery Date).

 

Any conclusion about CardTpeCode?

 

 

 

All the best

 

Steve

i agree with stephen's decisions.

however, this will impact on existing implementations as it chnages UBL Names.  so, if we agree to this we need to make it clear to the ISC.

As mentioned on the last conference call, I'd like to
propose some revisions to the usage of Representation
Terms in the existing UBL model (1.0 draft 1)

These are:

 

Recommended:		From	To	Reason/Notes
LineItemCountQuantity		Quantity	Numeric
AllowanceCharge. MultiplierFactorQuantity		Quantity	Numeric
CardAccount. Holder		Text	Name	definition reads “the name of the holder...” and compare to FinancialAccount. Name
PaymentTerms. SettlementDiscountRateNumeric		Numeric	Percent	definition reads “the ... discount (percentage)”
PaymentTerms. PenaltyDiscountRateNumeric		Numeric	Percent	As above
TaxCategory. RatePercentNumeric		Numeric	Percent	definition reads “the tax rate as a percentage”
Maybe:
Item. PackSizeQuantity		Quantity	Numeric	definition reads “the number of items in a pack”
PhysicalAttribute. DescriptionID		Identifier	Code	definition reads “... from a formalised list”
CardAccount. CV2		Text	Identifier	Definition reads “The CV2 identity...”

Thanks
