摘要:
The present invention provides a method, system, and program product for validating invoices for transactions between trading partners that occur across jurisdictional borders such as inter-country or inter-state transactions. Specifically, under the present invention, an invoice corresponding to a transaction between trading partners is electronically received for instance in an invoice processing system. Upon receipt, a purchaser tax jurisdiction and a seller tax jurisdiction corresponding to the transaction will be determined. Based on these jurisdictions and a set of categorization rules, a category of the transaction is determined. Using the category and a set of validation rules, a tax rate indicated on the invoice and other optional aspects, such as whether the invoice contains all required information will be validated. Based on this validation it will be determined whether the overall invoice is valid or invalid.
摘要:
A computer-implemented method for electronically obtaining an agreement authorizing a digital signature prior to invoicing to comply with a regulation in a tax jurisdiction. The method comprises associating a set of suppliers with a user and retrieving from a database a set of buying companies associated with the user's set of suppliers. A list of purchasing tax countries associated with the retrieved set of buying companies is created by querying the database. A list of tax countries associated with the retrieved set of buying companies is created by querying the database. A country-to-country relationship database table is configured to identify purchasing tax country and tax country relationships that require the agreement authorizing a digital signature prior to invoicing. The country-to-country relationship database table is queried for any combination of purchasing tax country and tax country from the lists of purchasing tax countries and tax countries that requires the agreement authorizing a digital signature prior to invoicing. The user is electronically presented with the agreement if any combination of purchasing tax country and tax country from the lists of purchasing tax countries and tax countries requires the agreement authorizing a digital signature prior to invoicing. Acceptance of the agreement by the user is confirmed before an invoice is created involving a purchasing tax country and tax country relationship that requires the agreement authorizing a digital signature prior to invoicing.
