Scenario 2 - Validation Services Only

The following diagram shows a scenario where IBM Sterling e-Invoicing provides validation services for a Supplier. In this scenario, the Supplier is subscribed to TrustWeaver Archiving and the Supplier is able to generate a signed invoice, so no signing is being performed.

This figure is a graphical illustration of the list that is provided after the figure.
The following steps describe the process:
  1. The Supplier sends a signed invoice to IBM Sterling B2B Integration SaaS.
  2. The signed invoice is sent by the IBM Sterling e-Invoicing service to TrustWeaver to be validated.
  3. The validated invoice is sent by TrustWeaver back to the IBM Sterling e-Invoicing service.
  4. Because the Supplier is subscribed to TrustWeaver Archiving in this scenario, the signed invoice is sent to the TrustWeaver Archive.
  5. The validated invoice is sent by the IBM Sterling B2B Integration SaaS to the Buyer.
