Subject: Base price and invoice theory?
Hi, according to the folllowing definition http://onlinedictionary.datasegment.com/word/base+price base price is: "åØåthe initial price of something (goods or services) without the additional charges that may be added, such as handling or shipping charges, sales tax, optional equipment charges, etc. [PJC] " which is the way I've always understood it, is there anywhere in the various UBL documents that could cause anyone to argue differently, that is to say is everyone agreed with this definition the reason I am asking is that someone argued to me recently that this meaning is based on the needs of paper based invoices and is not necessary for electronic invoices, their definition would be in fact goods and services with the additional charges of handling, shipping charges, optional equipment, everything but sales tax. Now personally I don' t know anything about this subject other than what I had in my accounting class many many years ago, but it seems totally wrong. In fact where an Invoice is concerned I had supposed that the physical representation of an invoice followed some form of theoretical model such as the physical representation of so many other structured informational formats such as graphs, law texts, library catalogs, and of course a general ledger (obviously in some of these examples the theoretical model is more stringent than others) Is there in fact such a model for the individual elements of an invoice, and if so does anyone have some references (I'm talking far more generally than a model for a UBL invoice now)? If you have an in-depth response on this with references to such a model can you also cc my other email at bry@itnisk.com because I don't expect to be back in the office until monday and I would like to get my arguments ready with references to relevant literature if I need to.
