This formatting specification describes a rendering of the UBL Order Response Simple document model according to a mimic of the United Nations Layout Key for Trade Documents guidelines given the absence of such a form.
For a list of all formatting specifications and an overview of the documentation conventions, please visit the formatting specification home page.
This specification has no formal status at this time. It should not be considered a reference interpretation of UBL documents. Feedback is sought from users of stylesheets that implement this formatting specification regarding suggestions for change for consideration by the OASIS UBL committees for incorporation into these formatting specifications.
Presentational semantics may never be formalized or normative in the UBL project due to differing international requirements and conventions for the presentation of information found in business documents. This document contains only examples from a few of what will probably be many available UBL stylesheet libraries.
Example renderings:
PDF printable format (A4 page size)
At this stage, the layout has been created as no official layout is available.
Items in this formatting specification are ordered roughly from the laid out fields on the form in the order left-to-right, top to bottom.
Certain descriptions are verbatim quotes from the United Nations guidelines document.
Important: the rendering of a number of fields is very simplified, reflecting a Western European interpretation of a subset of fields (as in names and addresses). User requirements need to be better understood for the level of granularity in these formatting specifications.
The following information is unrelated to the visible fields of the form.
Header information is associated with the form as a whole, not to the individual items of goods.
