6 SIS e-Invoicing benefits  Reduce cost of paper process  Improve efficiency :  Data quality  Speed of information  Automation  Access to detailed information  Audit trail  Uses IATA IS-XML e-Invoice Standard  Contributes to the green initiative October 2010SIS – From Paper to e-Invoicing6

7 October 2010 7 SIS is not just an IT project You have to reengineer the current process to adapt to SIS:  Will you generate Invoices in each department or centrally ?  How will you Capture detailed information of the invoice at the source?  Which level of automation would you like to achieve? SIS – From Paper to e-Invoicing

8 October 2010 8  How to reconcile the invoices against clearing house settlement?  Today claims may not match IDEC or invoice  Tomorrow all the information will be consistent  Will you reconcile invoices against purchase order?  Reconcile the invoices against your account posting based on:  Your operational system  Contract database  Aircraft schedules Define your objective SIS – From Paper to e-Invoicing SIS is not just an IT project

9 October 2010 9 The steps to consider 1/2  Define a project team including all involved parties (Finance, IT…)  Depending on your objectives define the changes in your business processes and IT systems:  Analyze the process changes :  Creation of invoices for example:  Gathering all mandatory and recommended information for the invoice  Numbering of invoices unique per billing entity per year (10 AN)  Generating invoices out of your financial system (e.g. SAP)  Validation/ approval of outgoing/incoming billings  Reconciliation SIS – From Paper to e-Invoicing

10 October 2010 10 The steps to consider 2/2  Depending on your objectives define the changes in your business processes and IT systems:  Analyze the impact on your IT system:  Third party software (Product Road map)  In-house systems  File exchanges  ERP  Workflow ……  Develop  Test  Implement SIS – From Paper to e-Invoicing

11 October 2010 11 IS-Web vs. IS-XML  IS-XML:  Could be generated/ processed from different systems including ERP or financial systems  Easy to handle large amount of invoices  Ease the use of workflow validation  Increase IT project requirements  IS-WEB:  Allows multiple locations to capture their invoices easily  Suitable for small amount of invoices  Workflow validation could be set up in SIS  Simplify SIS implementation  Payable invoices as PDF view

12 SIS e-Invoicing  SIS will allow legal e-Invoicing  NOTE – not legal in some countries yet  PDF or XML could be used as the legal invoice.  Billing entity choice  In case of an XML invoice an additional XML file will be created  Legal XML is a subset of the IS-XML October 2010SIS – From Paper to e-Invoicing12

13 SIS e-Invoicing  The files may need a Digital Signature (DS)  This digitally signed file should be archived in accordance with legal rules  You may have to print the incoming invoice in your country if the electronic format is not considered as legal:  You can do this yourself, or  You can ask the billing entity to send you a paper copy, but this will be charged as defined in IATA RAM Chapter A13 October 2010SIS – From Paper to e-Invoicing13 Please refer to the plenary presentation for more details about legal compliance

31 Best Practices  e-Invoicing is a complete change for your organization, benefit from that to design optimal processes  Use of Charge Category and Charge Code allows appropriate routing of the invoice for validation, and GL posting  Use segregation of tasks to ensure better controls on overall validation process  The sooner the better, project could be implemented in several phases, but be ready to process incoming billing from day one in an electronic manner October 2010SIS – From Paper to e-Invoicing31

32 Best Practices  Automate the reconciliation with the maximum of electronic data possible, general ledger posting against CH settlement...  Automate the matching of PO and invoices or contract  Generation and integration of electronic data should be automated.  Leveraging your existing ERP system will ensure an all electronic data world  Use the IATA IS-XML e–Invoice standard, develop once, connect to all.
