Subject: What would be the default actions/events from a Xform UBL mapping?
Hi Currently in HISC we're discussing if UBL is output as an OpenOffice document with Xforms mapping to individual UBL fields, what kinds of things are we expecting such a form to do? It does not seem to me to be of much use to just use the Xforms fields as presentational elements, there should perhaps be some sort of interaction. In a thread (prior to the manhattan meeting) with the subject heading: "[ubl-dev] Simple ODF/XForms (OOo2/SO8) for UBL 1.0 Invoice" Stephen Green posited: "It should be possible to create a simple UBL 1.0 Invoice with one form (saved locally) then use the other form to read it (from where it is saved) and convert it to pdf (OpenOffice 2 and Star Office 8 have this facility). Then either or both as appropriate could be sent say by email (for micro/small businesses this might be OK - please don't blame me if it isn't) as attachments and/or imported somehow into a finance system or spreadsheet (perhaps with an office product macro, say). Note that the first form, if used to directly create a pdf, will in OOo2/SO8, produce a form that can be edited before printing and this would be unacceptably risky for sending as an Invoice. Again, please accept that the use of the forms is at users own risk." Possible actions would be File save, email, db load... any others? What would these actions consist of? Something like the following implemented in each action? - call file save -validate if valid do save else ask 'do save' yes-> do save no->cancel For purposes of doing things relatively quickly we've discussed doing it as the small business subset. Aside from this are there any fields in the SBS that anyone can think of as not being needed in a presentation - that can be configured for the individual implementation. I suppose SellerParty information for an Invoice could be hardcoded, and thus handled via configuration. Cheers, Bryan Rasmussen
