The present guide has been issued to assist the companies of the Textile-Clothing sector in the implementation of the standard XML document type “RECEIVING ADVISE”, providing all the instruction required for its use in the context of e-commerce in the Textile industry, as shown in the enclosed diagrams.

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 Receiving Advise can be used by the Receiver of goods (purchased or received for commissioned works) either to confirm the regular receipt of goods or to notify discrepancies between what was declared by the Sender and what was received and accepted.

The present document must always be used in coupling with the Despatch Advise document.

It is recommended to issue one Receiving Advise against one Despatch Advise
