Abstract
Traditional enterprises have never stopped looking for the possibilities of rationalizing and reducing their operating expenses. This possibility lies in automation of certain business processes and functions within the framework of information systems, through implementation of the modern information technology. One such process is the automated creation and subsequent delivery of invoices to customers for the goods purchased wholesale with deferred payment. The realization of this process involves organizational, technological, informatical, financial and other aspects. The basic idea is to reduce the overall cost of making out an invoice (paper, toner, time required) and its delivery to the customer (envelopes, time required to go to the post office, postage expenses). All those expenses are integrated in the process of classical invoicing and they can be considerable on annual basis. The concept of full application of eInvoice, which implies any method of electronic delivery of invoice, has been fully developed, legally, conceptually and informatically. However, it still has not been implemented on a large scale for several reasons, one being the additional cost of implementation and application of the system, and another the additional cost of and dependence on the informatical mediator, so that other solutions to cost reduction are still in the focus of interest. In view of the above, the primary goal of this paper is to describe the automated process model for creating wholesale invoices and automated delivery of eInvoices to the customers via an email in PDF format as part of the business application of information system in an anterprise. The second goal is to provide an analysis of the effects of application of the mentioned model to a selected enterprise serving as an example.
