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

Blog entry: Submitted by gkholman on Wed, 2017-08-09 13:55. Last updated on Wed, 2017-08-09 13:57.

Dear UBL fellows,

I am Laszlo Beloberk from the company Tradeshift. Until now we have been successfully using UBL in 44 different countries. Now we started looking into using it in China as well. Does anbody have any experience using UBL in that region? Or is anyone familiar with the Chineese invoicing systems including document types such as: Fapiao invoices, Guazhang and DuiZhang documents?

Any help or references would be highly appreciated.
