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 .
