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 “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".

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.
