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

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 Quality Report
Document		Textile Quality Report (Compatible)
Description		Quality report of the fabric piece (contains defects or non-conformances of the pieces, eventually the related bonuses)
Release date		15/12/2008
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 QUALITY REPORT”, providing all the instructions 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 either by the Fabric Producer and/or by the Fabric Quality Controller as "quality certificate" of the fabric piece, mainly to anticipate the details on the existence, position and classification of faults in order to accelerate and improve the following apparel manufacturing. Each document refers either to one piece of fabric, identified by its id. number (TQ type ="S"ingle) or to several pieces belonging to the same shipment (TQ type="M"ultiple) and likewise identified. The following classes of data can be reported in the document: - physical dimensions and overall allowance - fabric faults and their positions - test value of conformance to specifications and taylorability - the reporting of the inspection.
