Defining transformation rules for the transformation of messages between different international standards should not be underestimated. It is a difficult task that requires extensive knowledge of these message standards and the data within the Business domain.
The Core Components Technical Specification (CCTS) and the Universal Data Element Framework (UDEF) define a semantic reference framework, principles and standards, for achieving information interoperability. Whenever both concepts are commonly accepted and implemented then transformation will become a lot easier.
The Core Components Technical Specification assigns each Business Information Entity a unique identifier and Dictionary Entry Name (DEN), similar to the Universal Data Element Framework. Example: The Invoice Issuer, the person or organization making and issuing the invoice, gets the CCTS Unique ID UN01001476 and DEN Invoice Issuer_ Party. Primary_ Identification.Identifier. The Universal Data Element Framework UDEF ID that corresponds is y.3_2.35.8 and the UDEF Name is Supplier.Enterprise_Purchaser.Assigned.Identifier.
For a better understanding of the complexity involved in the transformation of messages and in preparation of the usage of transformation tools I am going to work out the transformation rules for the invoice.
The invoicing process is used to exchange an invoice between a supplier and customer for the supply of goods or services. To simplify the process only the supplier and customer parties are taken into account. Each of the parties can have more than one role. The customer can act as the customer or ordering company, buyer, consignee, invoicee and payer. The supplier covers the roles of supplier or sales company, seller, consignor, invoice issuer and payee.
There are two variants of invoicing:
- the traditional or supplier initiated invoice, where the supplier generates and issues the invoice to the customer
- the self-billing invoicing, where the customer generates and issues the invoice to the supplier
I am going to work out the transformation rules for the traditional invoice from and to the following international standards.
- Universal Business Language (UBL) Release 2.0
- Open Applications Group (OAGIS) Release 9.1
- UN/CEFACT Cross Industry Invoice (CII) Release 1.0
- EDIFACT Release 0.7B
- SAP IDOC Invoice02
I will use the UN/CEFACT Cross Industry Invoice (CII) specification, defined by the UN/CEFACT organization together with participants from different industry sectors, as the starting point.
