Subject: RE: [ebxml-dev] Q: minimum requirement for ebxml?


Reference in http://www.ebxmlforum.org/articles/ebFor_20040724.html is
also made to Finvoice,  which is the first implementation of
www.ecbs.org standardised electronic payment initiatior ePI. The very
simple task of Finvoice is to let customers send and receive XML
invoices in SOAP envelopes either in the netbanks or as files separately
(always with strong id) - reuse eventually the global payment network
also for secure invoicing. After all invoices are meant to lead to
payments - so what could be the reason for NOT using a ready paid for
road  - preferably in an easily automatable way with ePI (created by
beneficiary) and easy integration of invoice information with XML.  

The key to real progress is a solution where the huge number of very
small companies and entreprenaurs can create e-invoices - demanded by
receivers (who can save up to100ˆ/invoice by automating). Here only the
mass market netbanks and the banks' selling power can make the rest of
it happen and lead out from too expensive EDI solutions. In the Nordic
area there are close to 1 billion b-tb invoices sent a year so even if
EDI has automated a lot - the rest is still huge.

David, et al:

The latest issue of ebXML Forum has an article on the use of ebXML with
electronic invoicing that describes a service from Accountis, a British
company. Accountis's service includes plug-ins for secure transfers
using ebMS and integration with leading accounting packages.  See
http://www.ebxmlforum.org/articles/ebFor_20040724.html .
