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 Garment Accessory Purchase Order Response
Document		Garment Accessory Purchase Order Response
Description		Order Response sent by the Garment accessory Producer(Supplier) (enables changes to the order)
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 ACCESSORY PURHASE ORDER RESPONSE ”, providing all the instruction required for its use in any context of e-commerce between Apparel or Fabric Producers and Garment Accessory Producer. 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 Garment Accessory Producer (Supplier) in response to a purchase order. The Producer must, in any case, return an Order Response for any Order received, where, for each item, he notifies the acceptance as it is (C), the variation (V) or the cancellation (A). Basic function of the message is to notify acceptance or to request modifications or cancellations concerning: 1) suppliable quantities 2) dates and places of delivery 3) prices The Order Response can show a number of lines different from the related Purchase Order, when variations/cancellations have occurred so as to create the splitting of an Order Line. However the sum of the quantities of the lines in the Order Response (accepted + varied + cancelled) must always equal the sum of the quantities in the Order.
