Dispatch

I am currently creating a dispatch document for a client. My client is a third party warehouse, in other word they store clients products. The Dispatch is to request that items are picked and delivered to the customers client. My question is where do I insert the warehouse for picking. A  dispatch order is for picking from one location ( warehouse). The dispatch may have one or more items to be picked. 

Any suggestions? 

 

Multiple invoices per PDF

Since recently the dutch tax authorities allow multiple suppliers to combine their invoices in in one document.
(see article 3.2.3.1 at https://zoek.officielebekendmakingen.nl/stcrt-2017-59187.pdf)
How would you approach this in UBL? I could create one UBL document per invoice on the aggregate document, but then it's not possible to give them the same filename as the PDF.

Adapting/Extending "Invoice" as "Payment Authorization" for Employees

Has anyone adapted and extended the UBL Invoice to function as a payment authorization for employees?  We use UBL (as well as ISO 20022) to structure data exchange for our pre-payment setup system. At the moment we're experimenting with use of our system for determination of employee salaries under a collective agreement.

If UBL can be used for periodic invoicing of business services under a subscription contract, then it seems adaptable to the periodic payment of worker services under an employment contract.

Answer to: where is the list of mandatory elements in UBL?

I was asked today "where is the list of mandatory elements in UBL?".  Perhaps the answer will help others.

There can be no such list of mandatory elements in UBL.  One cannot simply scrape the UBL document models looking for BIEs that have a minimum cardinality of one.  Determining the list of mandatory elements is an iterative process.
