[Stephen Green]

Just to point out that there is still a significant outstanding aspect to ISS-11 which is the last bit " Indeed,I question whether even Invoice should have PayableAmount as mandatory since sometimes the PayableAmount isn't known until the invoice is being paid (there could be allowances and charges which are not known until then due to some being conditional on payment date, etc)." This doesn't seem to me to be resolved in the disposition and could cause problems for a very large group of invoicers whose invoice payable totals are not known at the time of invoicing. This happens when, for instance, the allowance/charge is unknown at the time of invoicing (as is allowed for in the UBL 2 allowance/charge which caters for dependencies of the amount on certain conditions such as payment within a certain time. This is *very* common in invoicing. In UK, tax rules, for instance, allow for this by ruling that certain situations of such charges do not affect the TaxTotal. But they do of course not prevent the need for a non-fixed PayableTotal. I would see this as very difficult to fix in a minor release so it seems very pressing for UBL 2. I can't really ignore it as it impacts so much on allowance for proper invoice usage with UBL 2 and UBL 2's invoice being fit-for-purpose' Much obliged Steve >>> Tim McGrath
