UBL 2.4

 

Resolved issues

 

When working with JIRA issues use RESOLVED+Applied to indicate that an issue has been implemented and is ready for TC review.

 

Issues for UBL 2.4 are being tracked here: https://issues.oasis-open.org/issues/?filter=16172

 

Public review has been published and will end April 5: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/202303/msg00003.html

 

No comments received so far.

 

Issues not making it into 2.4

 

-  Denmark is working on new requirements for adding TCO calculations to UBL. This will not be prioritized for UBL 2.4

-  New requirements for a Letter of Credit will not be prioritized for UBL 2.4.

-  No input received from the PCSDS project

-  No new requirements received for customs bonds

-  No new requirements received from Peppol Logistics

-  No requirements received for customs alignment with WCO requirements

-  No requirements received from European EFTI, reporting transportation documents to authorities

 

Preparation of ISO submission

 

Submitting the specification to ISO:

-  Option 1: Will ISO consider a submission in XML format? Ken will explore options.

o UBL is being considered for participation in a pilot project to allow submission in XML format

-  Option 2: Will it be possible to convert from our current format to ISO Word template?

-  Option 3: Work in OASIS Word template. Will OASIS TC Admin then convert to ISO Word template? Kenneth will contact TC Admin.

 

JSON/API Pilot project

 

Interested members met on February 15 to talk about a possible pilot project based on an optimized JSON format. Agreed that there is a market demand for a specific JSON format of the UBL library and catalogue, though the TC might not have sufficient resources to work on this now. Agreed to continue discussions.

Agreed at the Copenhagen face-to-face meeting that the UBL TC is open to establish a formal liaison with CEN TC 434 to create a European or international standard for electronic invoicing, if there is an interest from the CEN TC.

 

OASIS has reported that there is an agreement on a way forward. The TC has agreed to appoint Wim Kok liaison officer to the CEN TC 434, and Peter Borresen as liaison officer to the CEN TC 440, as recorded here: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/202301/msg00017.html.

Last year’s SC 32 meeting was held on June 2022. OASIS should have been following up with the SC 32 secretariat last year but still no progress. Jamie will follow up with SC 32.

 

ISO TC 323 (WG5)

 

Cecile is available to serve as liaison officer between ISO TC 323 (WG5) and the UBL TC for facilitating work on the PCDS, under the condition that there is no requirement to join ISO through a national SDO.
