We have discussed this issue previously.  Digging back through the archives it appears UBL 1.0 had this as “0..n”.  But in May 2005 the PSC agreed to a suggestion from Freddy DeVos (the then head of CEFACT’s TBG1 group) to change the cardinality from “0..n” to “0..1”.  So UBL 2.0 and 2.1 have this as “0..1”.  Freddy’s argument at the time was:

> Why is the cardinality 0..*.  If products of different orders or order items are invoiced on the same invoice the reference to the Order and if needed to the Order item should be provided  at  the Invoice line.
> Cardinality should be limited to 0..1 
> 

Which is similar to that proposed by Kees.  So reverting back to “0..n” would be a reversal of that decision.

Before we go down that road, isn’t it possible to use the current structure to achieve the same result (many-to-many references)  through an implementation guideline?
