by the legal (and tax) point of view yes, an Invoice is issued by the
supplier which is always the responsible for it.

but there was a requirement to add the a separate Issuer party (the
outsourcing provider) that is executing the issuing action.

It is clear we are talking of the issuing "action" and the Issuer party
meaning under the law.

So there are two meanings for the Issuer party:
1) The legal meaning that says the issuer is the supplier party mentioned
in the Involice header and the ONLY responsible of the Invoice.

2) The trade service meaning that is intended to identify the party
external to the supplier which is providing the service of Invoice
issuing.

Peter I strongly think we are forcing the semantic meaning of the Party
and its sub information items.

I agree that there could be another party buying something for another
party... and it is the case of the Seller and the Supplier, and for this
we have already two separated Parties.

I desagree on changing the meaning of the PartyLegalEntity information as
it is required and associated to the same Party where it is contained and
is showing the "legal" site and names and registrations that are mandated
to appear on the Invoice document according the taxation systems and laws.

So the Party could be "Telecom Italia - Genoa" and the PartyLegalEntity
could further specify that the legal entity is "Telecom Italia - Milan"
with all offical IDs provided by the Chambre of Commerce and business
registries.

PartyLegalEntity is a detail like PartyTaxScheme and is a property of Party.

Peter, this is the issue, you are too constrained by Danish requirements,
right it is understendable, but you should know that both PartyTaxScheme
and PartyLegalEntity are required infromation in many EU or abroad
countries.

You should read all the annotations provided by UBL for the
PartyLegalEntity and you will note that this aggregate is exaclty what I
am describing... it is for business registers IDs and similar legal info.

UBL is derived by EDIFact too, so please read GS1 EANCOM implementation of
EDIFact or any other implmentation and you will find the same structure of
the legal entity information and the same mappings.

These requirements are stable in the time, I am sure.

Please PSC let's continue this discussion, it seems to me very important
to be addressed now.
