Compare the e-Invoice Exchange and the open system of ISO 20022 Request for Payment (RfP) for all payees and payers:

  1. Scope and Purpose:
    • e-Invoice Exchange: Typically operates within a specific platform or network designed to facilitate electronic invoicing and payment management between businesses. It focuses on streamlining invoice processing, reducing paperwork, and enhancing efficiency within its ecosystem.
    • ISO 20022 Request for Payment (RfP): Operates within a standardized messaging framework (ISO 20022) that facilitates electronic payment requests across various financial systems and institutions. It provides a common language for payment instructions, allowing interoperability between different systems and parties.
  1. Functionality:
    • e-Invoice Exchange: Offers features such as electronic invoice submission, approval workflows, payment initiation, and tracking within its closed ecosystem. It may also include integration with accounting systems and automated reminders.
    • ISO 20022 Request for Payment (RfP): Provides a standardized format for payment requests, including details such as payment amount, due date, invoice references, and payment instructions. It is designed to be interoperable across different financial systems, allowing any payer to receive and process payment requests conforming to the ISO 20022 standard.
  1. Interoperability:
    • e-Invoice Exchange: Operates within its own closed ecosystem, so interoperability may be limited to parties within that specific platform or network. Integration with external systems may require custom development or standardized interfaces.
    • ISO 20022 Request for Payment (RfP): Is part of an open and standardized messaging framework (ISO 20022), promoting interoperability between different financial systems and institutions. Payment requests conforming to the ISO 20022 standard can be exchanged seamlessly between parties using compliant systems, regardless of their specific implementation.

    • e-Invoice Exchange: Adoption of e-Invoice Exchange platforms varies by industry and region. Businesses may choose to adopt specific platforms based on factors such as industry requirements, vendor relationships, and functionality.
    • ISO 20022 Request for Payment (RfP): ISO 20022 is a widely adopted standard in the financial industry, supported by many financial institutions, payment service providers, and regulatory bodies. The adoption of ISO 20022 RfP messages may be driven by regulatory mandates, industry initiatives, or the need for interoperability between different payment systems.

In summary, while both e-Invoice Exchange and the open system of ISO 20022 Request for Payment (RfP) serve to facilitate electronic transactions, they differ in scope, functionality, and interoperability. e-Invoice Exchange operates within a closed ecosystem, focusing on electronic invoicing and payment management within its platform, while ISO 20022 RfP provides a standardized format for payment requests, promoting interoperability across different financial systems and institutions.
