Agenda

  • eInvoicing conceptual model.

Discussion

The first draft of the eInvoicing conceptual model was presented.

  • During the meeting, some questions were formulated regarding Class epo-inv:Invoice:

    • Question: How should we represent all the VAT values of the document?

    • Question: What is a Buyer reference?

    • Question: The Order refers to a Project and the Invoice refers to a Project. Is this Project the same?

      • If they are the same, we do not need a property from Invoice, since we also have a connection from Invoice to the Order.

      • Answer: It was decided that since the link between epo-inv:Invoice and epo-ord:Order is not mandatory, we need to have a way to refer to the Project directly from the Invoice.

      • The same applies to Buyer accounting reference

    • Question: What is Invoiced Object Identifier? What does this object represent? Can it be a CPV code?

    • A new codelist was added to the model: at-voc-new:invoice-note-subject-code

      • This codelist may already be referenced somewhere in the ePO. This needs to be further investigated.

  • Some questions were formulated about the Delivery information business group from the eInvoicing data model:

    • What is the "Deliver to Party Name" concept referring to? Who can this be if it is not the Buyer?

    • Is the actual Delivery date different than the eOrdering Delivery date? It looks like this is the case.

    • Is the business term "Deliver To Address" referring to the concept epo-ord:Order place of delivery?

  • The epo-inv:PaymentInstructionsInformation and epo-inv:PaymentCardInformation concepts were presented.

  • At this stage, the first draft of the Invoicing diagram is the following:
