Peppol BIS Advanced Ordering supports an extended, two-way ordering process. The buyer and seller exchange asynchronous structured messages for the order, order response, order change and order cancellation. The profile supports coordinated updates, but it should not be described as a real-time protocol.
E-order messages using the BIS Advanced Ordering profile contain structured information on products and services, accounting information, values and amounts, invoice information, inventory information based on catalogs, etc. The message can also support limited transport-related information. Tax information can include VAT, GST, sales tax, the tax number for reverse charges, and an estimate of the expected order value.
Using BIS Advanced Ordering
In processes supporting Peppol BIS Advanced Ordering, the buyer places an order, which the seller responds to. The customer can then take further action within the same process without additional manual steps or communication, such as phone calls or emails.
- Supplier responses can include acceptance, rejection, or order changes
- If the supplier accepts the order with changes, the customer can accept the proposed changes and confirm them by sending changes in the original order process, reject the changes proposed by the supplier, or cancel the order
- In Advanced Ordering, the customer and the supplier can also communicate about changes to an already accepted or canceled order. Neither party needs to accept the proposal to change or cancel the existing order made by the other party
- Advanced Ordering can be used in many business processes, supply chain models, and various products or services.
To automate document validation, the message uses OASIS UBL 2.1 and ISO/IEC 19757-3 Schematron.
