Electronic vendor invoices

Accounts payable must be able to process inbound electronic vendor invoice messages.

These options for B2B electronic invoicing are available:

Vendor inbox to customer inbox
Both parties using the same software or the same standard format to exchange electronic messages
Third-party service provider

For government entities, an incoming accounts payable invoice format is required.

Sweden specifics

Svefaktura (SFTI Basic Invoice 1.0) is a simple invoice that is used to comply with Swedish government invoicing, for the public sector. The invoice is also applicable to the private sector for billing goods and services. This format is used for both invoices and credit notes. This is the earliest format that has been implemented broadly since 2004.

How Infor meets this requirement

Electronic supplier invoices are sent from vendors to SyteLine.

The invoice files, in Svefaktura (SFTI) Basic format, must be placed in a folder where ION can access them. The message is reformatted in ION into a SupplierInvoice BOD, which is sent to SyteLine. SyteLine processes the information from the BOD to create an unposted AP voucher.


Application	Setup or Actions
ION Desk	The planning worksheet lists the BODs and document flow needed for the Electronic vendor (supplier) invoice. It also shows the proprietary message format. Use this information with the integration guide to set up the flow.
ERP	In the SyteLine Vendors form, set up vendors that you expect to send you electronic invoices in this format. The vendor numbers in SyteLine must match the vendor numbers on the supplier invoices. Note: The incoming supplier invoice number must not be more than 22 characters. After the unposted voucher is created from the BOD in SyteLine, users must manually cross-reference it to a purchase order.
