The interoperability challenge

eInvoicing, as well as eProcurement, is more than just the exchange of electronic messages!

1. What is the business process?2. Who is exchanging business

documents and in what sequence?3. What are the business rules

governing the business process?4. What is the content of each

message?5. What are the business rules

governing the information content?6. I which form (syntax and version)

should the messages be represented7. Which infrastructure should be used

for transport?
