vrbl-invoice-pl-b2b-3p0

Additionally it is flagged as an optional element which can be omitted in certain cases, for example for a simplified invoice. Still in VRBL the usage of the Unit Code attribute is mandatory and we recommend the usage of the codes of the UN/ECE Recommendation 20 with Rec 21 extension for outgoing invoices. For incoming invoices we provide the original free-text value from the original invoice. Altough in very limited scope we will try to convert the original unit of measure text to UN/ECE Recommendation 20 with Rec 21 extension codes.

Example containing an UN/ECE Recommendation 20 with Rec 21 extension code:

<ubl:Invoice>
    <!-- Code omitted for clarity -->
    <cac:InvoiceLine>
        <!-- Code omitted for clarity -->
        <cbc:InvoicedQuantity unitCode="H87">100</cbc:InvoicedQuantity>
        <!-- Code omitted for clarity -->
    </cac:InvoiceLine>
</ubl:Invoice>

Example containing a free-text description of a code:

<ubl:Invoice>
    <!-- Code omitted for clarity -->
    <cac:InvoiceLine>
        <!-- Code omitted for clarity -->
        <cbc:InvoicedQuantity unitCode="sztuki">100</cbc:InvoicedQuantity>
        <!-- Code omitted for clarity -->
    </cac:InvoiceLine>
