UBL 2.0 Working draft 3 spreadsheets (UBL 2.0 WD3.zip) - final comments

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

yet more comments on the spreadsheets (the final ones):

10. In the ABIE 'Pricing Reference' the property term for the ASBIE with 
'Item Location Quantity' should be qualified by the word 'Original' - it 
isn't a part of the property term (which should be the name of the 
associated ABIE).  So it should have a DEN of 'Pricing Reference. 
Original_ Item Location Quantity'.  The current DEN is also missing the 
word 'Original'.

11. In the ABIE 'Pricing Reference' the property term for the ASBIE with 
'Price' should be qualified by the words 'Alternative Condition' - these 
aren't a part of the property term (which should be the name of the 
associated ABIE).  So it should have a DEN of 'Pricing Reference. 
Alternative Condition_ Price'.  The current DEN is also missing these words.

12. The Transportation Subcommittee had an issue to be resolved 
regarding Transport Contract (from juha ikavalko).  They asked for the 
ASBIE from Shipment to Contract (qualified as 'Transport') be moved to 
being between Consignment and Contract.  This hasn't been done.  This 
was the last entry (and a late addition) so can you confirm that the 
other actions on the Transportation Issues List were completed as requested?

13. In the ABIE 'Statement Line' the UBL Name for 'Balance Brought 
Forward Indicator' needs its formula updating - it shows a repeated name.

14. The ABIE 'Tax Sub Total' should come before 'Tax Total' (alphabetic 
order)

PS. (my questions)
* What is the meaning of 'Pricing Reference. Alternative Condition_ 
Price'?  The definition is "The Price expressed in terms other that the 
actual Price e.g. the list price v. the contracted price or the price in 
bags v. the price in kilos or the list price in bags v. the contracted 
price in kilos."  Does this mean that a Line Item may have a Price and 
also a Pricing Reference to describe other ways of expressing a price. 
Does this mean it is an alternative price or is it an alternative way of 
expressing the same price?   The name does not seem  appropriate.  I am 
not sure 'condition' is what we meant to say.
*Also, while looking at Pricing Reference I am unclear what it is 
supposed to be doing.  By including Original Item Location Quantity 
(which itself contains a Price) and also Alternative Condition Price 
there appears to be several places we could express Prices that may 
duplicate or contradict each other.
