1. Introduction to openPeppol and BIS

This BIS is a result of work within openPeppol and is published as part of the Peppol specifications.

This Peppol BIS provides a set of specifications for implementing a Peppol business process. The document is concerned with clarifying requirements for ensuring interoperability of pan-European Public eProcurement and provides guidelines for supporting these requirements and how to implement them. This Peppol BIS is based on the CEN WS/BII2 “Profile BII01 Catalogue Only”.

The purpose of this document is to describe a common format for the catalogue message in the European market, and to facilitate an efficient implementation and increased use of electronic collaboration regarding the sourcing process based on this format.

1.1. Audience

The audience for this document is organizations wishing to be Peppol enabled for exchanging electronic business documents, and/or their ICT-suppliers.

These organizations may be:

Service providers
Contracting Authorities
Economic Operators
Software Developers

More specifically it is addressed towards the following roles:

ICT Architects
ICT Developers
Business Experts

For further information, please see Peppol BIS common text and introduction.

2. Principles and prerequisites

2.1. Business Process in scope

This Peppol BIS supports a process for suppliers to send a catalogue and for buyers to return a catalogue response. It is intended to support transmission of electronic catalogue-messages for processing in semi-automated processes by the receiver. The BIS mandates no procurement related data but supports different ways of referring to products and services. By selective use of such references it can be used as basis for automated processing of ordering and invoicing.

The intended scope for this BIS is:

B2B and B2G
Common business processes for cross industry and cross border procurement
Regional procurement within EU and EEA
For supporting purchase of goods and services and/or services that can be itemized.

This Peppol BIS supports a set of “common use cases / process”. These are processes that are used widely or understood as being relevant for most companies.

The main activities supported by this BIS are:

Description of goods and services
Maintaining content of framework contract
Item comparison
Item dependency and composition
Description of packaging and storage requirements
TAX classification (e.g. for VAT, GST and Sales Tax)
Item instance description
Maintenance of catalogue

This Peppol BIS supports requirements by providing elements for information needed to meet the requirement. This BIS also provides a set of business rules to clarify content and implementers can use them as basis for validation where it provides business value.

2.2. Peppol BIS 1A - Benefits

Catalogues are used as basis for maintenance of information about products and services that are part of a contract, like a framework agreement.

The buyer (or a catalogue provider on his behalf) can present the information in a web shop where he can ensure correctness of product description, prices and other terms that may apply.
The supplier can provide the customer with correct information at all times and ensure high data quality in orders based on the catalogue he prepares.
Implementing the catalogue provides the possibility of designing fully automated purchasing flows in which the electronic documents can be validated and matched automatically, thereby saving resources compared to manual processing.
Implementation of a catalogue can be the first step in automating the purchasing process followed by an order and an invoice, leading to entire purchasing process running from sourcing, ordering and invoicing to payment.
Buyers can accept or reject the catalogue using a catalogue response

This Peppol BIS is based on the CEN/ISSS WS/BII Profile BII01 specification, see [BII_Catalogue].

2.3. Interoperability

This Peppol BIS structure is based on the European Interoperability Framework 2.0 EIF. This Peppol BIS applies the Framework as follows:

Legal Interoperability

Legal:
- In implementations supporting public sector buyers, the use of this BIS has to be monitored in order to secure that the parties act in line with EU procurement directives.

Organizational interoperability

Organization (Organization/Business):
- This Peppol BIS supports B2B and B2G.
- This Peppol BIS supports cross border, regional and domestic ordering in EU and EEA.
- This Peppol BIS can function as a component in an EDI agreement within a trading community.
- This Peppol BIS supports linking of business processes within the sending and receiving organization. The process of order transmission in electronic form can be linked into internal processes of both sender and receiver, which may differ for various reasons.
Organization (Process):
- This Peppol BIS supports a set of “common business processes” that is assumed to be supported by most enterprises whether public or private. These are processes that are used widely or understood as being relevant for most companies.

Semantic interoperability

Semantic: The set of information elements is assumed to be sufficient to support organizational business and processing requirements stated above.
- A CORE business message:
  - Data model, a set of elements that the receiver MUST be able to process.
  - Business rules, a set of business rules that ensure a common way of processing the information elements. The rules are stated in a way that allows for automated validation of document instances. Issuers and receivers can verify that the exchanged document conforms to the rules of this BIS.
    Peppol adds business rules on top of the data model to clarify certain design choices left open by the CEN WS/BII. These choices are intended to lower the implementation threshold by limiting options for implementers and thereby increase interoperability of Peppol transactions.

Technical interoperability

Technical Interaction (Process and semantic implementation):
- Binding to OASIS UBL 2.1, see UBL 2.1
- ISO/IEC 19757-3 Schematron, for automation of document validation, see Schematron
Technical Interaction (eSignature Validation):
- Not mandatory in this Peppol BIS. Not supported.

3. Process and typical scenarios

3.1. Process chart

4. Semantic datatypes

Semantic data types are used to bridge the gap between the semantic concepts expressed by the information elements and the technical implementation. The semantic data types define the allowed value domain for the content, and any additional information components (attributes) needed in order to ensure its precise interpretation.

4.1. Primitive types

Semantic data type content may be of the following primitive types. These primitive types were taken from ISO 15000-5:2014, Annex A.

Primitive type	Definition
Binary	A set of finite-length sequences of binary digits.
Date	Time point representing a calendar day on a time scale consisting of an origin and a succession of calendar ISO 8601:2004.
Decimal	A subset of the real numbers, which can be represented by decimal numerals.
String	A finite sequence of characters.

4.2. Semantic data types

The different semantic data types are described in the tables below, where various features such as attributes, format, and decimals as well as the basic type are defined for each semantic data type. They are based on ISO 15000-5:2014.

When used in an instance document, each data element will contain data. In the below tables this is identified as the “content”. Whenever a business term is used this term shall always have content and therefore the content is always mandatory.

4.2.1. Amount

An amount states a numerical monetary value. The currency of the amount is defined as a separate business term.

Amount is floating up to two fraction digits.

5. Code lists

5.1. Code lists for coded elements

Any element with the semantic data type = code, can mandate the use of a specific code list (or a fixed value). The applicable code lists can be found in the Code list section. In this section, you can find the valid codes, their names and description, and also links to where the same code list is used elsewhere in the transaction, or in other Peppol BIS v3. documents.

5.2. Code list for identifiers

6.1.4. Buyer (ContractorCustomerParty)

The party buying products or services from the Catalogue.

Example:

<cac:ContractorCustomerParty>
        <cac:Party>
                <cbc:EndpointID schemeID="0184">DK16356706</cbc:EndpointID>
                <cac:PartyIdentification>
                        <cbc:ID schemeID="0184">DK16356706</cbc:ID>

                </cac:Contact>
        </cac:Party>
</cac:ContractorCustomerParty>

6.1.5. Manufacturer (ManufacturerParty)

The name of the Manufacturer.

Example:

<cac:ManufacturerParty>
        <cac:PartyName>
                <cbc:Name>The PC Manufacturing Party</cbc:Name>
        </cac:PartyName>
</cac:ManufacturerParty>

6.2. Action code

The Action code holds instructions about the treatment of the Catalogue by the recipients system. The Action code can be stated either on header or line level. Please be aware that the below mentioned are codes, and hence the correct use of upper and lower case must be used. Example: Replace is valid, REPLACE is not valid.

Legal codes on Catalogue header level:

Add – Used when a catalogue is sent for the first time to the Catalogue Receiver referring to the contract in the header of the catalogue.
Replace – Replaces the entire catalogue referring to the contract. This is the default action.
Update – Updates a current catalogue.
Delete – deletes the entire catalogue
Example:
```
<cbc:ActionCode>Replace</cbc:ActionCode>
```

Legal codes on Catalogue Line level:

Add – Used to add items to the catalogue.
Update – Used to update an item. The entire Catalogue Line is updated. Only used if Action code on header level is Update
Delete – Used to delete an entire Catalogue line. Only used if Action code on header level is Update.

It is important to note that when updating or deleting on line level, the key identifier is the item ID (sellers item identification or standard item identification, see chapter 10.2.2.), not the line ID. If CatalogueLineReference is used in the corresponding order message (outside scope of this BIS), the numbering of Line ID must be consistent in all versions of the catalogue.

Example:

<cbc:ActionCode>Update</cbc:ActionCode>

6.3. Item identification

Item identification must be sent using the identifiers described below.

Sellers item identification
Standard item identification, e.g. GTIN
Manufacturers item identification which is necessary when the same product is bought from several suppliers.
Buyers item identification

At least one of Sellers item identification or Standard item identification must be sent. Which identifier to use depends on what is known at the time of catalogue exchange or what is commonly used in the relevant business sector.

Example 1, Seller item identification

<cac:SellersItemIdentification>
        <cbc:ID>MNTR01</cbc:ID>
</cac:SellersItemIdentification>

Example 2, Standard item identification

<cac:StandardItemIdentification>
        <cbc:ID schemeID="0160">1234567890124</cbc:ID>
</cac:StandardItemIdentification>

6.4. Hazardous item

If an item is classified as Hazardous item, a reference to the relevant UNDG-code must be stated and further specification must be provided in an attached document or on a web-site (URI).

Example:

<cac:HazardousItem>
        <cbc:UNDGCode>ADR</cbc:UNDGCode>
</cac:HazardousItem>

6.5. Item name and description

The Item name shall be sent in tag cac:Item/cbc:Name on line level. It is the short description of an item commonly used in ERP-systems. An item name should make it possible for the user to distinguish between similar items. The Item name is often sent in the order from buyer to seller. The field length could be an agreement between parties, to make sure the supporting systems can handle the length.

cac:Item/cbc:Description is used to provide additional relevant description of the item, in free text.

Example:

<cac:Item>
        <cbc:Description> Ballpoint pen, comes in different colours and tip
                sizes</cbc:Description>
        <cbc:PackQuantity unitCode="XCT">10</cbc:PackQuantity>
        <cbc:Name> Ballpoint pen. Blue colour 0.7 mm</cbc:Name>
        <cac:SellersItemIdentification>
                <cbc:ID>34234-324</cbc:ID>
        </cac:SellersItemIdentification>
</cac:Item>

6.6. Classification

An item may be classified according to UNSPSC being the mandatory public classification schemes in some countries/sectors. The code "TST" (The UNSPSC commodity classification system) from codelist UNCL7143 is used. Products can also be classified according to regulatory schemes or classification schemes used in certain business sectors.

Example:

<cac:CommodityClassification>
        <cbc:ItemClassificationCode listID="TST" listVersionID="20.0601"
                >14111511</cbc:ItemClassificationCode>
</cac:CommodityClassification>

6.7. Keyword

Keywords are sent to let the Buyer search for an item without knowing the item identification or name. Keywords tag can be repeated (0..n), but the number should be limited to ensure correct handling in the receiving system.

It is also possible to send several keywords in the same tag, by using a separator between the different keywords. Which separator that should be used, must be agreed between the parties. Example of a separator can be the %-sign, as this is not used anywhere else.

Example of several keywords by using several <KeyWord>-tags:

<cac:Item>
        <cbc:Description>Day cream</cbc:Description>
        <cbc:PackQuantity unitCode="EA">50</cbc:PackQuantity>
        <cbc:Name>Ultimate Day cream, 250 ml</cbc:Name>
        <cbc:Keyword>Moisturizer</cbc:Keyword>
        <cbc:Keyword>Balm</cbc:Keyword>
        <cbc:Keyword>Lotion</cbc:Keyword>
        <cac:SellersItemIdentification>
                <cbc:ID>654321</cbc:ID>
        </cac:SellersItemIdentification>
</cac:Item>

Example of several keywords using “%” as separator:

<cbc:Keyword>write equipment%felt pen</cbc:Keyword>

6.8. Quantities and units

The table below lists quantities and units in the catalogue transaction. All quantities must be based on a Unit Of Measure (UOM) according UNECE Recommendation 20 and Recommendation 21 for UOM. For xml-examples for quantities and units, we refer to Appendix A on the main page.

- DU = Dispatch Unit
- HN = Handling Unit (level between TU and DU).
- TU = Traded Unit
- CU = Consumer Unit
It should be stated if the pack level is orderable.
The relation between pack levels should be specified by using Component Related Item, e.g. that a Dispatch unit contains Traded units. For the higher level Packed Quantity should be used.
Example:
```
<cbc:PackLevelCode>TU</cbc:PackLevelCode>
```

6.13. Dimension

7. Peppol Identifiers

Peppol has defined a Peppol Policy for identifiers, policy 8 that specifies how to use identifiers in both its transport infrastructure and within the documents exchanged across that infrastructure. It also introduces principles for any identifiers used in the Peppol environment. The policies that apply to this BIS are the following:

7.1. Profiles and messages

All messages contains ProfileID and CustomizationID. ProfileID identifies what business process a given message is part of, and CustomizationID identifies the kind of message and the rules applied.

Profiles are connected to one business process, and may contain multiple document types. Valid document instances shall contain corresponding ProfileID and CustomizationID.

CustomizationID is a string without spaces. The list below contains spaces in CustomizationID to make them easier to read. Make sure to remove any spaces before use.

7.2. Customization and Profile identifiers

In the table below you will find the values to be used as the specification identifier and the business process type for this profile
