    Channel 3: Full EDI at low cost with XML by mail!

    If setting up a fully-fledged EDI route is not profitable, but full EDI convenience for data exchange is still desired, DIG simply turns the eMailbox into an EDI channel!

    This is made possible by the EU standard EN 16931 from June 2017, which requires public authorities to be able to send and receive invoices in XML format. As a result, ERP systems have been upgraded to be able to output this format. In fact, a standardized format has emerged that DIG uses as a fast lane on the data highway for business documents, such as those resulting from orders via our eProcurement solutions!

    ZUGFeRD and ebInterface turn mailbox into EDI input channel

    The two standards ZUGFeRD (Germany) and ebInterface (Austria) specify the structures for invoices in XML format. This means that there are uniform specifications as to which fields contain which data! And this has enormous consequences: It means that invoices can be sent between business partners via a simple mailbox. The DIG Portal automatically retrieves the data from this mailbox and, thanks to the standardized format, processes it at full EDI level with just one mapping (and therefore at a correspondingly low cost). For invoices, this means that there are no costs for connections (routing) to the individual suppliers. Business partners, in turn, can provide the required data without any further effort by means of uncomplicated e-mail dispatch.

    Can also be used for other documents

    This standardization of invoices can also be used for other documents using the DIG XML by mail channel: All that is needed is a corresponding agreement between the customer and business partner regarding the structure of the XML file or an overlap in the ERP systems with regard to formats. An example: If the customer and supplier both use SAP (which is widely used), an SAP IDoc can also be sent via mailbox and processed as with a direct EDI connection. The same also applies to different ERP systems if they are able to output files in the same formats.
