XML structures of eBIZ/TC Upstream documents (2013-1)
Introduction to the XML document template
The structure of the XML documents is the very prescriptive part of the eBIZ/TC Upstream framework:
using the eBIZ/TC Upstream documents, the prescriptions must be completely respected about structure of the documents, names and coding,
optionality or mandatory use of elements, meaning of each element.
Otherwise the documents could be not validable with the XML Schema (that are the only way to check the
formal compliance of the documents) or could generate misunderstandings about the meaning of the message on the side of your partners.
The allowable customisations are about the use or not of a document or about the elements of the document that are declared 'optional'; they can
be used to simplify the documents (not all the elements are always necessary).
The (template of) eBIZ/TC Upstream documents of each release are on www.ebiz.enea.it or www.moda-ml.org and are represented by:
XML Schemas, public but that cannot be modified,
they must be used to validate the XML documents.
User Guides, that completely describe the structure and the aim of the documents,
together with the elements and their coding rules.
in some cases, Samples and Stylesheets(XSL) might be available
and can be used to visualize with a browser the content of the XML documents.
The proposed stylesheets should be considered as a sample or a reference
to be used directly or customised or ignored and substituted with custom stylesheets.

Document Textile Order status report
Document
Textile Order status report
Description
Report of the Order status of fabric (informs about the foreseen delivery date)
Release date
18/11/2011
Scope
The present guide has been issued to assist the companies of the Textile-Clothing sector in the implementation of the standard XML document type "Textile ORDER STATUS REPORT”, providing all the instruction required for its use in any context of e-commerce between Apparel Producers and Fabric Producers.
All the rules required for the construction and validation of the document are embedded into the specific XML-Schema, which is detailed in section "Implementation guide".
Generalities
The message is issued by the Fabric Producer to report to his Client the status of his Orders and the updated delivery dates, with the possibility of splitting an order line into several consignements.
The message may concern all the articles ordered (TSType = H "historic"), all the articles ordered and not yet delivered (type = C "complete") or just the articles in the “ready for shipment” status (type = S "for shipping"). Otherwise only articles that have changed their status (TSType=I).
The status report can be given for each article or for each Order line.

Best practice
Thanks to TSType attribute, Textile Order Status can be used in two modes:
1) normal, status of all the goods in object (TSType=H, C, S)
2) incremental, only goods that changed their status (TSType=I)
