UBL is the product of an international effort to define a royalty-free library of standard electronic XML business documents such as purchase orders and invoices. It is designed to plug directly into existing business, legal, auditing, and records management practices, eliminating the re-keying of data in existing fax- and paper-based supply chains and providing an entry point into electronic commerce for small and medium-sized businesses. UBL 2.1 more than doubles the size of the standard schema library, bringing the total number of XML document types to 65. In addition to the generic supply chain and procurement processes defined in UBL 2.0, UBL 2.1 adds support for eTendering, Vendor Managed Inventory, Intermodal Freight Management, Utility Billing, and Collaborative Planning, Forecasting, and Replenishment. It also adds two supplementary document types, Document Status and Document Status Request. As before, all the XML data constructs in a UBL schema are drawn from a single library of reusable components in conformance with the ebXML Core Components Technical Specification (CCTS) Version 2.01, ISO/TS 15000-5:2005. More information on UBL V2.1 and the Technical Committee can be found at the TC's website (
