Subject: Re: [ubl-dev] Representing taxable freight charges in an Invoice
The documentation is
fairly clear and as Tim interprets it. Freight
charges in Invoices for goods are defined under
Allowances&Charges. The Freight Invoice is for where the item
is specifically for transport services.

Best regards RobertoIf the intention is that all invoices that attract delivery charges should be represented by FreightInvoice, then this could be made clearer in the UBL documentation. In section 4.6.1, "Billing Business Rules Assumed" it discusses packaging, delivery/postage, and freight in the context of Invoice. No mention is made of FreightInvoice. Section 4.6.4, "Freight Billing" talks about using Freight Invoices, in the context of transport service providers invoicing customers for logistics services, not for the goods being transported. Section 4.11. "Document Types" describes FreightInvoice as "A document issued by a transport operation specifying freight costs and charges incurred for a transport operation and stating conditions of payment." Regards, Tim Roberto Cisternino wrote: Generally speaking it is a bad idea to change the semantic meaning of a business document, in UBL 2.0 and UBL 2.1 the FreightInvoice is the best for freights. Technically speaking the Invoice and FreightInvoice differs just for one aggregate "Shipment" which is exaclty containing he requirements for freight practices. I add also that if anyone should choose an invoice for advanced cross-border that document is the FreightInvoice. OIOUBL is not a good reason for not using it if you are not implementing their profile... In your sample you can choose between filling up teh TaxCategory inside the AllowanceCharge (for simple cases) or the TaxCategory available inside TaxTotal/TaxSubTotal (for more complex cases with subtotals) The TaxTotal aggregate has the same structure of the one you find on the line items. best regards Thanks for the response. I'd ruled out FreightInvoice earlier as for my purposes, freight is treated as just another line item. Looks like neither OIOUBL nor NESUBL use it either. Here is the updated example as per your other suggestions: true Freight 10.00 10.00 GST 1.00 true Untaxed freight 10.00 00.00 GST 0.00 Also, whats the rationale behind including TaxCategory in AllowanceCharge but not on InvoiceLine? On InvoiceLine it looks like it must be specified via the TaxSubtotal, requiring elements to be duplicated. From the UBL-Invoice-2.0-Example.xml: 100.00 17.50 true 100.00 17.50 A UK VAT VAT ..... Thanks, Tim Roberto Cisternino wrote: please remove the 2nd row of my answer... sorry Hello, as the TaxAmount is separated by th 1st of all I believe you are using an UBL-FreightInvoice-2.0 The FreightInvoice is exaclty an UBL Invoice with an additional aggregate called "Shipment" where you can find a specific "FreightAllowanceCharge" data structure. GST is a scheme of tax, so you have to explode the TaxTotal and specify the TaxCategory where you can put a percentage and expand the TaxScheme to specify "GST" on its ID. You can further fill up the TaxCategory with further information related to the GST category use case. Hope this helps, Roberto Cisternino Hi all, how is freight typically represented in an Invoice? I want to represent freight costs which may or may not attract 10% GST. E.g: true Freight with GST 10.00 1.00 true Freight without GST 50.00 I'm assuming that the AllowanceCharge/Amount and Invoice/LegalMonetaryTotal/ChargeTotalAmount exclude tax. Is this valid?
