There are some use cases published with the latest UBL release (0p70).
This is available at http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ubl/ (just a

One of the things we had to do manually when developing the use case
data set was validate things like: (02)
Did the Order Change reference items that were on the original Order?
Were the Invoice references actually to valid Orders and Order items? (03)
Is this the kind of transactional integrity referred to earlier? (04)
