XML
in [Visual Objects]

From: CA VO on 17 Feb 2010 11:32 My customer asks for e-Invoicing in his application. There is a standard XML file format for that purpose. What is the best approach to solve the problem from within Visual Objects? Any classes/ libraries? Any tools? Looking at a XML invoice file makes me faint! Kari

There are some providers including the "OLE-DB Simple Provider" from MS (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms675260(VS.85).aspx) HP
From: Geoff Schaller on 17 Feb 2010 16:32 Kari, XBRL is now the industry standard for electronic reporting and commerce. So far the Dutch, Australian, NZ, US and British governments have adopted it formally and several Asian countries (like Singapore and Malaysia) are now writing legislation to introduce it. It will grow internationally very quickly Google XBRL for a ton of into. XBRL is nothing more than marked up XML but it adheres to a taxonomy that a particular country will adopt. Your software would usually need a parsing tool (you could write your own but heck!.....) and whilst there are free ones, tools from UBMatrix and Fujitsu are more mature. However, the problem is that when a customer asks for such things you probably need to know who he believes he is communicating with and how. EDI is not a 'standard', it is just a definition (Electronic Data Interchange) and it encompasses everything from CSV to email. It could be that the suppliers your client dabbles with use CSVs, HHTP lodgement, XBRL, FTP or anything. You need to find this out. Even knowing the mechanism, you then need to know the delivery mechanism. Typically, XBRL is delivered by web services, CSV can be sent by a variety of means (often even just email) but larger organisations might even use BizTalk or other enterprise solutions for B2B. You need to know more first.

From: Kari on 18 Feb 2010 04:35 Thanks Geoff, I have a very detailed documentation of the XML file layout. It is an electronic invoice transfering method to banks in Finland. They have accepted that standard form for the file (I think it is globally used?). The problem to me is that I must fill in the data to that form and I don't want to do it the heavy way. So some nice parsing tools for VO in VO code would help me. I studied the small sample XML that came with VO 2.7 and got some ideas from that. Envelope TagA Tag1<my data1>\tag1 Tag2<my data2>\tag2 Tag3<my data3>\tag3 \TagA \Envelope etc... Kari
