Business transaction groups

Business transaction groups are the types of business transactions.

A business transaction group points to the action that should be performed on the core business document, while a business transaction refers to an implementation of a particular document syntax. For example, SubmitInvoice can refer to transactions NESP4-2.0 SubmitInvoice or BISENUBL-3.0 SubmitInvoice.

These are the three most commonly used business transactions groups:

Transaction group	Description
`SubmitInvoice`	The supplier issues an invoice to the customer to request payment for services or products provided. An invoice is used to specify the financial aspect following a business transaction.
`SubmitOrder`	The buyer places an order with a seller. The order specifies which goods or services the seller should deliver and might specify delivery conditions, discounts, and other pricing details.
`CorrectWithCredit`	The supplier issues a correction credit note to the customer. For example, this happens when the products delivered do not satisfy quality standards or when there is an error in the despatch advice or the invoice.
