XML structures of eBIZ/TC Upstream documents (2008-1)

The present guide has been issued to assist the companies of the Textile-Clothing sector in the implementation of the standard XML document type “WEAVING COMMISSION ORDER”, providing all the instruction required for its use in the context of e-commerce between Textile Subcontractors and their Customers shown in the enclosed diagram.

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".

The Weaving commission order is used by a Fabric Manufacturer to commit to a Subcontractor the weaving of yarn

When the Issuer of the Commission requires different manufacturing operations in sequence to different Subcontractors, he can used this document not only as work order but also as a despatch order to send the semi-finished product to a successive Subcontractor

As a general rule, the weaving commission order specifies only the manufacturing technology (if required) and the characteristics of the end product of each operation and specifies the components used to manufacture that product

It must be noted that this end product can be, in turn, a component for a successive manufacturing operation

The definition of any "manufacturing parameters" is left to the Subcontractor; sometimes however these parameters can be specified by the Issuer of the Commission itself, that can define machines and machine parameters in the Commission Order
