Electronic invoice for customers

[Former Member]

Hello experts

I look for the function which is sent Electronic invoice for customers.

Right now we are using 4.6C and our customer use SAP also.

Our industory is consumer product and chemical product.

Our requirements are follows.

- Electronic invoices should be digitally signed from our side

- The electronic invoice has to be converted from SAP format to a standard format accepted by the customer (common standard formats are PDF, XML, etc..)

- The files have to be automatically distributed from SAP to customer platform (SAP Server to local server to customer IT system/platform),

- File distribution tool should be able to be easily managed for several customers (FTP file transfer customer by customer could be become too complicated depending on the number of customers).

Are there any solution or similar case with us?

Best regards,

Thank you for reply.

As far as I understood following requirements can be realized based on your note.

- The electronic invoice has to be converted from SAP format to a standard format accepted by the customer (common standard formats are PDF, XML, etc..)

- The files have to be automatically distributed from SAP to customer platform (SAP Server to local server to customer IT system/platform),

- File distribution tool should be able to be easily managed for several customers (FTP file transfer customer by customer could be become too complicated depending on the number of customers).

However I would like to know whether following requirements are realized.

- Electronic invoices should be digitally signed from our side
