The cross industry invoice is an electronic
document exchanged between trading partners with a prime function
as a request for payment. It is an important accounting document
and has potential legal implications for sender and receiver.
It is also used in the European Union as the key document for VAT

of intra community trade, and to support export and import
declaration in respect of trade with countries outside the
European community.
