Electronic billing integrator project

Recently, a development project for the implementation of electronic invoicing for several  clients was started within the company where I work, the objective is to be able to integrate  the  accounting software of each of them (Siesa CGUNO), with the electronic provider for  invoicing Taking into account that the clients' accounting software is relatively old, made in  COBOL, and that the integration is done through XML files, it is considered an interesting  challenge to carry out for the development of electronic invoicing.

Several steps have already been developed, from different points of view the operational  and technical guidelines necessary to carry out this integration have been marked, what is  proposed is the realization of individual mental maps by areas (development, commercial,  operational) , and then create a single path line for it ...

For the development of the implementation, different possible directions are considered as  far as the integration programming is concerned, taking into account the longevity of the  customer's accounting system, it is necessary to have a strict learning of how it works and  how to generate the extraction of the information required for the correct electronic  invoicing, for this the development team has designed a quite interesting plan in which with  a simple flat file the respective treatment of the extracted information can be carried out,  however, this raises a A new challenge, since this information must also be converted into  a correct XML format to finish the billing process correctly.

In conclusion, we can say that there is already a functional web platform prototype, in which  the information is received in flat format, the information required for the respective  electronic invoicing is duly processed and delivered in XML format.
