Re: UBL 2.0 Update proposals- proposals

[Tim McGrath <tmcgrath@portcomm.com.au>]

I want to suggest some dispositions to these items.  If anyone objects 
or wants to add more please do so before the next UBL Pacific all 
(Tuesday 15 Jan).

See proposals inline below...

Proposal:  change the definition in Order to read: "The currency in 
which the Document is presented."

Proposal:  change the definition to read: "An identifier for the 
Catalogue Request assigned by the party managing the catalogue (either 
the Catalogue Requesting Party or the Catalogue Providing Party)."

>> Reason: The AccptedIndicator (BBIE) and RejectionCode (BBIE) are

>> and RejectionCode (BBIE) in OrderResponseSimple.
Proposal: 
OrderResponse can be used as an Acknowledgement and as a Response.  To 
do this we must:
* Add Order Response. Accepted_ Indicator. Indicator ("Indicates whether 
the Order is accepted (true) or rejected (false).")
* Add Order Response. Rejection_ Note. Text ("The reason for rejection 
if the order was not accepted.")
- to align with Order Response Simple document.
Also
* Order Response. Order Line has to change cardinality from 1..n to 0..n 
(become optional).
* Order Response. Order Line has to change its definition to read "An 
association to any Order Lines."

This maens this is not an update for 2.0 but a candidate for UBL 2.1

NB the reason Order Responses have a RejectionNote and the ReceiptLine 
has a RejectReasonCode is that the possible values for rejecting an 
order may be too variable for a fixed code list.

Proposal: 
(1) PaymentOrderReference
Improved Definition: A internal reference to the order for payment from 
the Payer to the Payer's bank.
(2)  PayerReference
Improved Definition: A internal reference to the Payer's order for payment.
(3) InvoicingPartyReference
Improved Definition: A internal reference of the order for payment for 
the Invoicing Party. This may have been requested by the Payee of the 
Payer to accompany their remittance.
NB these will be referenced back to UN/CEFACT as part of the alignment 
with their core component library.
