Subject: Re: [ubl-dev] Order message :: Parties & Delivery
Stephen may be right but isn't that what Delivery/DeliveryParty and Delivery/DeliveryAddress (at both Order and OrderLine) describes? Party is the Retailer and Address is the Terminal?

When ordered items are delivered to a retailer those are in many cases routed through a terminal. In these cases an order must contain information about both parties: a retailer and a terminal. Why? A terminal organizes the delivery based on the retailer information printed on packages by a food industry. Why a free text field is not enough? Retailer information is also processed and used for other purposes. > > > >This information is needed both on a header and on a row level. When all the ordered items will be delivered to a single retailer this information is given on a header level. When a wholesaler's order is a combination of multiple retailer orders this information is given on a row level. > > > >Has anyone thought about the same issue? To which elements you put this information on a header level? On a row level there is /Order/OrderLine/LineItem/DestinationParty. I suppose I could put there the retailer information but where could I put the information about terminal? > > > >Best regards, > > > >Juha Ikävalko > >TIEKE Tietoyhteiskunnan kehittämiskeskus ry >TIEKE Finnish Information Society Development Centre >Salomonkatu 17 A, 10th floor FI-00100 Helsinki >Tel +358 9 4763 0410 Fax +358 9 4763 0399 >juha.ikavalko@tieke.fi http://www.tieke.fi <http://www.tieke.fi> > > > > > > -- regards tim mcgrath phone: +618 93352228 postal: po box 1289 fremantle western australia 6160 web: http://www.portcomm.com.au/tmcgrath
