Discussion
Discuss the Roles structure from PEPPOL Despatch Advice
-
In PEPPOL, the roles are split into parties like:
-
Customer
-
Supplier
-
Carrier
-
-
In ePO Supplier and Carrier are classes that go on the Economic Operator side, while Customer goes on the Buyer side.
-
Buyer and Customer should be at the same level in the ePO.
-
In UBL, whenever we have a “party” we map to Organisation.
-
We should find a gathering concept for all the roles on the buyer (procurer) side and another gathering concept for the economic operator (seller) side.
-
In the post-award phase, the Buyer becomes the Customer and the Winner becomes the Supplier.
-
Using the term “party” for concepts in ePO will be too confusing with UBL.
-
The definition of party from UBL is: “Party:
A class to describe an organisation, sub-organization, or individual fulfilling a role in a business process.” -
We can have a PurchasingActor and a SupplingActor.
-
The customer definition does not fit for ProcurementServiceProvider.
-
Supplier for pre-award phase does not work.
-
This does not fit well, so Customer, Supplier and Carrier will be removed for the time being.
-
Buyer and Consignee are parties in UBL and in ePo they are roles.
-
Conceptually, parties are some kind of role.
-
Discussing the Buyer roles dependencies:
-
You have to award in order to be able to sign.
-
Originator has two different definitions in PEPPOL:
-
From despatch: The party who will eventually receive and consume the goods and on whose behalf the buyer makes the purchase.
-
From ordering: A person or unit that initiates an order.
-
-
Adding a new responsibility for the Buyer role:
-
In Ordering: A person or unit that initiates an order.
-
In Fulfilment: The party who will eventually receive and consume the goods and on whose behalf the buyer makes the purchase.
-
-
New roles might need to be added:
-
Procedure awarder
-
Procedure initiator
-
-
Getting the roles from ePO frozen version 2.0.2.
-
Synchronise definitions and names for roles concepts.
-
Deliveree and Consignee are similar in Despatch.
-
Decided to change the namespaces so we can differentiate between roles in different PEPPOL diagrams:
Consignee versus Deliveree
-
The different definitions of Consignee from PEPPOL Ordering and PEPPOL Despatch Advice are discussed.
-
This is compared with the epo:Deliveree from frozen 2.0.2 definition.
-
-
Created an ePO issue GH 367:
-
Updating the definition to epo-ord:Deliveree.
-
epo-ord:Deliveree to be equivalent to both the roles of Consignee in PEPPOL ordering and in PEPPOL despatch advice, both of which have different definitions. ==== Originator
-
-
We have 3 different definitions:
-
PEPPOL ordering: “A person or unit that initiates an order.”
-
PEPPOL despatch advice” “The party who will eventually receive and consume the goods and on whose behalf the buyer makes the purchase.”
-
ePO Ordering “A role of an agent that expresses the needs to trigger the procurement.
Additional Information:
The originator is often the end-user.”
-
-
Triggering an order does not mean that it will receive it as well.
-
Proposed concepts to be discussed in the following meeting:
-
Created an ePO issue GH 368.
