Single Face To Industry (SFTI)
• Was initiated as an e-commerce project, in 1995
• Now a public sector program, lead jointly by the Government, through The Swedish National Financial Management Authority (ESV), and The Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SKL)
• Our objectives for e-procurement are:
– Simpler and more efficient procurement in public sector
– Better compliance with frame work agreements (i.e. buy from right suppliers)
– Free resources for the core business (i.e. for schools, hospitals, elderly care etc.)

SFTI – our role
• Establish standardised business processes for public buyers and their suppliers
– Sub-ordering (call off) from framework agreements is the most used business scenario
– Periodic invoicing is also used in a large scale
• Provide for complementary use of stand-alone electronic messages (invoice, order)
• Provide user support through implementation guidelines, awareness, training, technical advice, etc
• Encourage the development of e-procurement/e-business solutions

Message standards
• From start our EDI messages were based on UN/EDIFACT, in accordance with the EANCOM implementation guidelines:
– Initially we chose directory D93A
– Since 1999 we use directory D96A
– No later directories adopted
• In recent years XML-based messages have been increasingly asked for
– Because of the new technology itself, and
– Because of new target groups, notably the SMEs, requiring simpler procedures
• This has lead to the introduction of
o Basic invoice (UBL 1.0; since 2004)
o Basic order only (UBL 2.0/NES; since 2008)
• But we continue to use also UN/EDIFACT messages

Other related standards
•Third party operators (VAN, banks, etc) are common in Sweden
–To bridge various addressing standards we introduced an UN/CEFACT-based envelope, SBDH (Standard Business Document Header)
•We recommend the use of an ebMS-based transport profile
•We have defined an object envelope for attachments to electronic messages

International collaborations
• Although our task is to serve organisations in Sweden we recognise the need for international collaboration, for example
• We have participated in UN/CEFACT, since 1998, both
– at UN/CEFACT Forum every year, and
– in TBG 1(Martin Forsberg from SFTI is responsible for the work regarding order-message)
• We also participate in CEN workshops, notably CEN/BII. Martin Forsberg chairs the working group focusing on convergence between UN/CEFACT and UBL
• Sweden, through SFTI, will participate in the Pan-European PEPPOL project to test cross-border e-invoicing

Our involvement in UN/CEFACT
• We see UN/CEFACT as the only platform that can bring together a wide range of heterogeneous user groups from all over the world
• We appreciate the collaborative atmosphere in the convergence work between UN/CEFACT/TBG1 and UBL, and regret that limited resources have not made possible to extend it wider
• We are pleased with the recent progress in UN/CEFACT regarding
– The second generation of the cross-industry invoice, representing a successful merger of various user groups’ requirements
– The new base standards CCTS3 and NDR3, which will bring significant improvement for users of UN/CEFACT implementations.
• We look forward to an up-take in the implementation of UN/CECFACT specifications as richer libraries based on these specs become available.

Our involvement in UN/CEFACT
• The work is however far from over
• There are challenges that need to be addressed regarding the XML-syntax, versioning and code lists
• We see the Standards Advisory Board and CCLF (Core Component Library Framework) as important plattforms to find solutions to the challenges
• We hope that our experience from having used CCTS-based XML-standards in many years will be useful in this environment
• We will continue to support the work within UN/Cefact
