Bryan (cc UBL list, SBSC list)

Here are some samples I've just quickly
created. If you have any others (particularly
with less of a UK flavour) then the more
the better. It would be useful to have
any (modified for data protection) real
life examples, especially if they are the
type which would be of interest to a small
business.

Any examples from regions with different
tax structure would be a great help. I wonder
if it might be best to keep the detailed
examination of different regional tax
requirements as they impact the subset to the
UBL version 2.0 subset - after any Tax XML
related implementation guidance analysis.

I'd also be particularly interested in any
finance application requirements or examples
of existing XML order and invoice files.
Anything related to the US/Canada/Australia
and anything from Asia (if in english) and
anything from 'latinic' countries (as distinct
from 'saxonic'). If Intuit products output
XML orders and invoices, from low-end
especially (Quickbooks, say) it would
be of interest - just test the gap with the
SBS - to have a sample of such documents.

A gap analysis between the SBS invoice and
the Danish tight schema would be especially
helpful. It probably wouldn't be a lot of work
since the SBS invoice is quite small (especially
if one ignores the attributes and concentrates
on the elements).

By the way, the attached samples extend the subset
a little to cover the tax registration id (in this case
for a UK VAT registration number). Here a
change would be desirable in the SBS (adding just
two elements) but first it would be good to see how
broad a set of regions the scope of such a change
could cover.

All the best
