XML structures of eBIZ/TC Upstream documents (Draft)

The present guide has been issued to assist the companies of the Textile-Clothing sector in the implementation of the standard XML document type “SPINNING OFFER”, providing all the instruction required for its use in the context of e-commerce between Subcontractors and their Customers shown in the enclosed diagram

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 Offer is used by a Subcontractor to respond to the Request of a Yarn Producer for the spinning of a raw material.

The Offer is structured in four levels:

Macro-type of Work offered = document root (7 types of Request)

Product Family = document qualifier (type of product with reference to the manufacturing process; e.g.: combed yarn, jacquard weaved fabric, ..)

Product Specifications = "xxxSpecs" (technical characteristics and properties of the product)

Operations offered = "XXXMnfrOperation" (details of the works requested)

Quantities, unit measures and prices must be referred to the third level (Line Item)
