I'm creating a DTD for Order Creation and want to know all the parties involved in a typical order transaction. The basics i've come up with are:
OrderNumber | PONumber | (OrderNumber, PONumber)), SubOrderNumber?, OrderType?, OrderDate, ExpectedShipDate?, ExpectedDeliveryDate, Buyer, Supplier, Consignee?, Shipper?, ThirdParty?, Arranger?, ShipmentInfo?, OrderLines, DynamicAttributes
Can anyone add to this? What is Arranger? Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks,
Vidya Ramachandran
