The XML format can be used in many contexts
Use BlueSeries XML to convert invoices, order confirmations and purchase orders into XML documents without making changes to the existing ERP solution.
Data is converted into XML from Spooled files and missing data is obtained from the ERP solution through SQL Database lookup or minor Scripts. The resulting XML file can be forwarded though the BlueSeries Mail module via FTP or e-mail – or processed via 3rd party programs.
In Denmark, all invoices forwarded to government agencies and institutions must be in OIOXML format. Furthermore, there is fixed requirements for the information contained in the invoice. BlueSeries XML will process the invoice from a Spool file and convert it to an OIOXML file.
The converted invoice sent via email or FTP to the proper recipient. A style sheet can be attached in a mail for proper graphic display.
