Subject: Re: SV: [ubl-dev] V2 - Invoice cbc:ID on sub-items cardinality ?
Hi It might be that interoperability is improved between the XML and any EDI though, in the use case of mixed systems and hubs, by having ID's wherever they exist in the equivalent EDI documents. I guess this is the main reason they are in UBL (via CBL and xCBL) and it seems valid. An reference to an item using an XPath would only work for XML but systems might have to use a common denominator to wortk with both the XML and EDI - and likely paper too of course. The idea of having ID's everywhere may have been based on database requirements and maybe repositories where the requirement isn't strong since these types of systems seem to provide ID's internally anyway. My main concern is to have them where paper equivalents have them such as Invoice/ID and both LineItem/SalesOrderID and LineItem/ID (for Orders).
