The Issues - outgoing invoices

Issue 1: ERP systems speak a different language

Invoices to recipients with their own ERP-system:
There is a PO for every invoice, but:
  • Recipients use various formats (ASCII, EDI, XML,.....)
  • Within each format many different data record structures are possible/different contents structure
  • Almost every recipient speaks his own language

Issue 2: Both Partners need to have an ERP-system

Small recipients do usually not have ERP-systems
Generally a PO, but higher number of invoices
  • Suppliers use various formats (ASCII, EDI, XML,.....)
  • Invoice is entered manually by the receiver

Issue 3: Transportation Method and Certificates

  • As from January 2004 new legislation:
    • Anyone can send and receive invoices over the internet, no third party required
    • Some recipients will use CertiPost
    • Some recipients will use Isabel
    • Some recipients will use the internet
  • Multi channel/Network required, multi certificate required
