2. Basically correct?

 I have downloaded the two zip files.

introduction to the type udt:IdentifierType

Hi,

I'm new to the UBL-specification and would like to understand the udt:IdentifierType which is used in e.g. the element cbc:ID in UBL-Invoice2.xsd. The type is derived through the common basic component.xsd.

Can someone give me some basic understanding how this type should be used? What does the different attributes schemeID, schemeName, schemeAgencyID, schemeAgencyName, schemeVersionID, schemeDataURI, schemeURI stand for? If possible please add values for these attributes to show usage of it.

 

thanks in advance!

European Commission rule changes to give boost to e-invoicing

In January 2009, the European Commission agreed to proposals for a new set of rules designed to eliminate the current barriers to e-invoicing in the VAT Directive by treating paper and electronic invoices equally.

The Commission says the aim of the rule change is to increase the use of electronic invoicing, reduce burdens on business, support small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and to help tackle fraud.
