Understanding XML File Generation

The system uses Oracle's BI Publisher (Business Intelligence Publisher) to produce the required XML files. The system has different versions of the extractor process, which relate to different report definition templates to manage the data formatting process of the basic information.

The BI Publisher creates the XML files in a two-phase process:

1. Information extraction, generation, and data formatting

2. XSLT transformation

An Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) is an .xsl script that maps an XML schema to another XML schema. The XML generation programs extract the required information and produce an XML schema that is mapped to the schema provided by the government fiscal authorities.

To generate the different XML files that comply with the output information and format required by the fiscal authorities, the system uses specific templates and report definitions. Review the relationships in the following table:

Output	Batch Version Program	Version	Template	BI Publisher Report Definition
Electronic Invoice XML File	R7030040	ZJDE0001	TP7430040TS1	RD7030040

Note: Before you run the XML generation programs, verify that the BI Publisher setup is correct in your system.
