XML structures of eBIZ/TC Upstream documents (2018-1)

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 PURCHASE ORDER”, providing all the instruction required for its use in any context of e-commerce between Apparel or Fabric Producers and Garment Accessories 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 message is issued to purchase garment accessories.

Three types of order are possible:

- “standard”, when the order is completely defined

- “blanket”, when some of the data are left out for subsequent definition (eg. colour)

- “call off”, when it defines and closes a “blanket order”

The “standard” and the “call off” order is an authorization to ship and invoice well defined fabric articles in well defined quantities, dates, locations and prices.The “blanket” order provides the anticipation of some data to the supplier.
