Consumer Direct Fulfilment

EDItX CDF Order Version 1.2
EDItX CDF Order Response Version 1.1
EDItX CDF Shipment Report Version 1.0

These EDItX documents are formats for consumer direct fulfilment (CDF), covering transactions between (typically) Internet booksellers and wholesalers, where the wholesaler delivers direct to the consumer who placed an order with the bookseller. A single format is available for both trade and CDF invoices - for more details see the Trade Book Supply section.

Each transaction has its own individual XML schema file, but all share a single code list file. This will enable new issues of the code lists to be made without a new version of the schemas that use them.

The Release in February 2010 includes new versions of the CDF Order (V1.2) and CDF Order Response (V1.1). Issue 4 of the EDItX code lists is being released simultaneously. See under Trade Book Supply for details of the remainder of the February 2010 Release.

In May 2010 Version 1.0 of the EDItX CDF Shipment Report format was released. This format is to be used for reporting details of shipments and invoices sent direct to the consumer by a CDF supplier on behalf of the retailer. This format is to be used in place of the EDItX Trade/CDF Invoice Version 1.1, which has been replaced by the EDItX Trade Invoice Version 1.2 and is in future only to be used for trade invoices. A minor revision of the code lists, Issue 4a, was also released in May 2010.
