Introduction
Onetrail, in close corporation with it’s customers, is currently developing two new features to increase the coverage for electronic ordering for the ICT industry.
A customer panel is currently active in developing the BTO/CTO (build- and configure to order) order process and we’ve developed the definitions for software license ordering in close corporation with Nolan Business Solutions.
Nolan Business Solution has experience in electronic software license ordering for years now and is an active partner of Onetrail. For more info: https://www.nolanbusinesssolutions.co.uk/.
The software license order definition is published as draft here where you can contribute to the definition by adding comments to this page on the field definitions.

This project is waiting for new info to continue.
Software License in PIP3A4 PurchaseOrderRequest
We’ve identified header and line level fields required for software licensing. We’re updating the current LicenseOrder element on header level and add an additional element to the line level ProductLineItem.We decided to incorporate the software license fields into the existing order schema and thus not design a complete new schema. This because the software license fields are an addition to the current order. Like the current ProductLineItem element is still valid for licenses and only requires some additional fields for software licenses.
An example XML is available below.
