XML structures of eBIZ/TC Upstream documents (Draft)

The present guide has been issued to assist the companies of the Apparel (Knitting/Clothing) sector in the implementation of the standard XML document type "GARMENT ORDER STATUS REPORT”, providing all the instruction required for its use in any context of e-commerce between Apparel Producers and their Subcontractors.

All the rules required for the construction and validation of the document are embedded into the specific XML-Schema, which is detailed in section "Implementation guide".

The message is issued by the Subcontractor to report to his Client (Apparel Producer) the status of his Commission Orders and the updated delivery dates, with the possibility of splitting an order line into several consignements.

The message may concern all the articles ordered (Type = H "historic"), all the articles ordered and not yet delivered (type = C "complete") or just the articles in the “ready for shipment” status (type = S "for shipping").

For each article, the status report can be consolidated or partial for each Order line.
