XML structures of eBIZ/TC Upstream documents (2011-1)

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 Garment Kit Despatch Advice
Document		Garment Kit Despatch Advice (Compatible)
Description		Despatch advise of a garment kit sent by a Apparel Producer or by a Logistic Operator or Fabric Controller or Producer on his behalf to a Apparel Subcontractor
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 “GARMENT KIT DESPATCH ADVISE”, providing all the instruction required for its use in any context of e-commerce between Subcontractors and Apparel Producers (or other actors that send the kits on their behalf). 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		In this scenario, the Fabric Producers agree to send fabrics and accessories ordered by the Apparel Producer to a Logistics Company or directly to the Apparel Subcontractor specified by the Apparel Producer. The Apparel Producer send a Despatch Request of the "kit" to the Fabric Producer o to the Logistics company so that it can make the "groupage (fabric, buttons, fastners…) and send it to the specified Subcontractor. At this point, the Logistics company (or the Fabric Producer acting as) send the Despatch Advise to the Apparel Producer to confirm the shipping; the same document is sent to the Subcontractor to anticipate the information about the material it will receive. This document is relative to the Despatch Advise of the "kit" and can concern one Subcontractor only. The basic principles are: - one line item must correspond to one "kit" and one Subcontractor - every kit is made of one or more fabrics of which the single pieces can be identified, plus several accessories - as for the roles: the Apparel Producer is "buyer", the Logistics company is "supplier" and the Subcontractor is "third party"
