E-Invoicing

The current practice of the exchange of business documents by means of telecommunications – 65 usually defined as e-Business presents a major opportunity to improve the competitiveness of 66 companies, especially for Small and Medium Enterprises (SME).

The purpose of this document is to define globally consistent invoicing processes for the worldwide supply chains, using the UN/CEFACT Modelling Methodology (UMM) approach and Unified Modelling Language to describe and detail the business processes and transactions involved.

Specification that describes the business process and requirements for the invoicing process. The invoicing process is used to exchange the invoice between the supplier and the for the supply of goods or services ordered, delivered, received, consumed, etc. This document describes the variants of invoicing in use in trade and industry. It considers the legal statements and, to a certain extent, the corrections of a previously sent invoice, by using credit notes or debit notes.

The work of CEN/PC 440 will be developed from the deliverables of CEN/BII (2)3 in alignment with the deliverables of CEN/PC 434. Other initiatives such as ISO/IEC/JTC 1/SC 32, OpenPEPPOL and eSENS will be taken into consideration as appropriate.

CEN/TC 224 multi-sectorial environment involves sectors such as Government/Citizen, Transport, Banking, e-Health, as well as Consumers and providers from the supply side such as card manufacturers, security technology, conformity assessment body, software manufacturers.

ISO 12812-1:2017 defines the general framework of mobile financial services (payment and banking services involving a mobile device), with a focus on:

a) a set of definitions commonly agreed by the international financial industry;

b) the opportunities offered by mobile devices for the development of such services;

c) the promotion of an environment that reduces or minimizes obstacles for mobile financial service providers who wish to provide a sustainable and reliable service to a wide range of customers (persons and businesses), while ensuring that customers' interests are protected;

d) the different types of mobile financial services accessed through a mobile device including mobile proximate payments, mobile remote payments and mobile banking, which are detailed in other parts of ISO 12812;

e) the mobile financial services supporting technologies;

f) the stakeholders involved in the mobile payment ecosystems.

ISO 12812-2:2017 describes and specifies a framework for the management of the security of MFS. It includes

- a generic model for the design of the security policy,

- a minimum set of security requirements,

- recommended cryptographic protocols and mechanisms for mobile device authentication, financial message secure exchange and external authentication

ISO/TS 12812-3:2017 specifies the interoperable lifecycle management of applications used in mobile financial services. As defined in ISO 12812‑1, an application is a set of software modules and/or data needed to provide functionality for a mobile financial service.

This document deals with different types of applications which is the term used to cover authentication, banking and payment applications, as well as credentials.

ISO/TS 12812-4:2017 provides comprehensive requirements and recommendations, as well as specific use cases for implementation of interoperable mobile payments-to-persons.

The emphasis is placed on the principles governing the operational functioning of mobile payments-to-persons systems and processes, as well as the presentation of the underlying technical, organizational, business, legal and policy issues, leveraging legacy infrastructures of existing payment instruments.

SO/TS 12812-5:2017 focuses on mechanisms by which a person ("consumer", "payer" or "business") uses a mobile device to initiate a payment to a business entity ("merchant" or "payee"). Such a payment may use the traditional merchant point of interaction (POI) system, where the manner of settling the payment follows well-established merchant services paradigms.

The TC is responsible for the development and maintenance of specifications for Secure Elements (SEs) in a multi-application capable environment, the integration into such an environment, as well as the secure provisioning of services making use of SEs.

ITU-T SG3 is responsible, inter alia, for studying international telecommunication/ICT policy and economic issues and tariff and accounting matters (including costing principles and methodologies), with a view to informing the development of enabling regulatory models and frameworks.
