XML structures of eBIZ/TC Upstream documents (2013-1)

The present guide has been issued to assist the companies of the Textile-Clothing sector in the implementation of the standard XML document type “Textile ORDER CHANGE”, providing all the instruction 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".

The Apparel Producer sends to the Fabric Producer an Order Change any time he must modify some conditions of his previous Order (eg. to cancel items not delivered in time) or amend errors (eg. invalid prices).

Basic function of the message is to replace an invalid Order with a valid Order, amending:

- suppliable quantities

- dates and places of delivery

- prices

The Order Change 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 Change (confirmed + varied + cancelled) must alway equal the sum of the quantities in the original Order.
