UBL 2.1 XML Transaction Delivery for Receivables

Use the Universal Business Language (UBL) 2.1 XML format to deliver Receivables transactions to your customers as XML documents.

The UBL 2.1 format is now required for business-to-government electronic invoicing in certain countries.

As with OAGIS 10.1, the UBL 2.1 XML transaction delivery makes use of the Collaboration Messaging Framework (CMK) to send transactions to customers and receive confirmation messages from customers.

How You Configure the Universal Business Language (UBL) 2.1 XML Format

To use UBL 2.1 XML transaction delivery, you must enable the Receivables Invoice Delivery in Open Applications Group Integration Specification (OAGIS) 10.1 XML Format feature in the Feature Opt-in page in Functional Setup Manager. The Universal Business Language (UBL) 2.1 format feature is then enabled by default.

You must complete all of the required setups for OAGIS 10.1 XML transaction delivery, but with the following modifications and restrictions to use UBL 2.1 XML:

  • In the Manage Collaboration Messaging Service Providers task, the supported delivery method types in CMK for UBL 2.1 XML are B2B Adapter and Email.

  • In the Manage Collaboration Messaging Service Providers task, the outbound collaboration message definition in CMK for UBL 2.1 XML is UBL_2.1_INVOICE_OUT.

  • You can add additional attributes to the UBL 2.1 XML transaction using the User-Defined Attributes of the Receivables XML feature.

    You map additional attributes to the UBL 2.1 XML transaction by modifying the delivered UBL 2.1 XSLT using the Manage Collaboration Message Definitions task, available from the Collaboration Messaging Framework work area.

Note: If you want to deliver UBL 2.1 XML transactions using any delivery method other than those supported by CMK, or if you need to add certificates and signatures to the UBL 2.1 transaction, you must use a third party service provider.
