DISCOVERING ELECTRONIC INVOICING The electronic invoice is a functional equivalent of the invoice on paper and is characterised by being sent to the receiver via electronic means, preserving identical legal value and providing new security conditions that enable bills to be sent to the addressees immediately by electronic procedures. Electronic invoicing processes have to be taken into account, at least the essential requisites: An electronic billing format of greater or lesser complexity is needed: EDIFACT, FACTURAE, XML, PDF, X12... A digital transmission has to take place: It must leave from one computer and be received by another computer. This electronic format and remote transmission must guarantee message integrity and authenticity. ERP Data Extract INTERNAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM data mapping Einvoice Sender ELECTRONIC INVOICING PLATFORM communications Receiver ELECTRONIC INVOICING PLATFORM data mapping Einvoice Automatic Integration INTERNAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ERP User electronic invoice signature protocol electronic invoice User SOME ADVANTAGES OF ELECTRONIC INVOICING Increased efficiency of administrative processes: Creating, sending, reception and integration in the ERP of electronic invoices is automatic and immediate. Reducing dispatch and delivery terms, minimizing errors in processing, queries and retrieval of invoice files, etc. Cost Reduction Sender and Receiver can reduce the costs associated with the creating, sending and filing of invoices. Various studies show that these costs can be reduced around 70% compared to traditional invoicing processes. Reduced payment terms The efficiency of sending and receiving electronic invoices, their immediacy, and the avoidance of mistakes in the creation and registration of invoices, allows for reduction in payment terms. Enhanced Security in invoice generation, delivery and filing The possibility of sending and receiving invoices by communication services like Value Added Networks (VAN), guarantees the correct transmission of invoice files. Furthermore, with digital signature protocols applied to the electronic invoice processes, the integrity, origin and authenticity of invoices are guaranteed. 1

REGULATED FRAMEWORK TO OPERATE WITH FULL GUARANTEE GENERAL NOTES ON STANDARDS APPLICABLE IN ELECTRONIC INVOICING In electronic billng processes, the sender must obligatorily observe the existing regulation in the Country of origin in terms of issuing and preservation, and provide the necessary elements so that the receiver can also comply with the norm applicable at Destination. In Europe, electronic invoicing is regulated by Directive 2006/112/EC, which sets out two alternative procedures or methods of issuing an electronic invoice: By advanced electronic signature in accordance with1999 section 2, article 2 of Directive1999/93/EC By electronic data interchange (EDI) as defined in article Commission Recommendation 1994/820/EC. 2 of This has meant that each Country, depending on its initial situation, has encouraged the development of their own electronic Invoicing approaches, with numerous variations currently in use, all of them in compliance with the Community Directive but quite different from each other. From EDICOM we solve this problem through continuous adaptation of the messages to the requirements of each destination, converting them to the required standards and implementing the regulatory certification and digital signature processes in place for each member state. ADVANCED ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE REQUIREMENTS The signature must be uniquely linked to the signer. It must allow the signer s identification. It is created using means that the signer can keep under their control. It must be linked to the data to which it refers, in such a way that any change in the same is detectable. The EDICOM Certification Authority provides businesses, communities and physical persons with the secure remote identification mechanisms that enable the issue, sending and preservation of electronic invoices in accordance with the regulations in force. EDICOM provides advanced electronic signature services based on secure signature creation devices with CWA 14169 certification. Among the signature services de firma provided by the EDICOM Certification Authority are the EDICOM Remote Signature and Delegated Signature. Through these, we can run processes for identification of invoices and any electronic document required from our Platform, generating valid electronic originals for sending and preservation. 2

SERVICE * Remote Signature service lets you use the qualified electronic signature with the client certificates stored in secure signature creation devices (SSCD) housed in the EDICOM facilities, through a WebService HTTPS interface. Through the Delegated Signature Service*, the sender authorises Edicom to sign their invoices on their behalf. This relieves the issuer of the maintenance and management of electronic certificates in their name. Application of the Delegated Signature service is subject to its recognition in the legislation applicable in the country of the electronic invoice issuer. There are several electronic invoicing standards, conditioned by aspects such as the legality currently in force in each country or the activity sectors of the trading partners. Edifact, X12, XML, etc., are languages with their own particular features to enable the construction of the messages that will make up legally valid electronic invoices. EDICOM, through the Electronic Invoicing Platform, provides the services required for the generation, signature, sending, reception and filing of electronic invoices regardless of the standard in which they are created. Through our mapping service, we convert original documents generated by your ERP into valid structures to be processed at their destination. If you are an invoice receiver, this same service enables adaptation of the invoice standard to the proprietary language of your ERP, making total integration of the process in your management system possible. Our platform integrates the most cutting-edge communications technology to connect with all your business partners transparently, through services such as the EDICOMNet Private Network, the Public Administrations HUB or our AS2 server, etc. SENDING ELECTRONIC INVOICES w.services data mapping Customers with EDI Solution or Electronic Invoicing Platform Customers without Einvoicing Solution user internet platform management partners invoices in process invoices sent ACK storage ACK acknowledgement RECEIVING ELECTRONIC INVOICES sender invoices received storage... mapping data Integration internet user 4

CERTIFIED STORAGE CERTIFIED DIGITALISATION SYSTEMS SUBSTITUTION OF PHYSICAL INVOICE FILES BY ELECTRONIC FILES Traditional invoicing processes force the companies to set aside important spaces for the physical filing of documents on paper that make up the invoices. These files have to be managed, dedicating important resources to ensure the retrieval of all these invoices and their preservation in suitable conditions for the set prescription period. Repositories of invoices on paper can be subjected to a digitisation process whereby, after a series of validations and records, an electronic file of invoices with identical legal guarantees would be obtained, allowing the destruction of the paper documents. The DIGICERT module complements our EDIWIN software and enables it to manage certified digitisation systems. This involves sending the digital images of the invoices through our Technological Platform, so that upon reception we submit the documents to the validation and signature processes demanded in each firm, to provide these images with legal validity. The process supposes the storage of all the invoicing details in our data processing centre, allowing the user fast access to the same through a high availability framework. This way, the tasks of consulting and retrieving invoices are simplified during the preservation period. client document data base user certified invoice No consultation printing import EDICOM Storage the documents CERTIFIED STORAGE Yes Data Base time stamp certified document Client Framework Storage Request Validation Digital Signature 9
