28. “Due to capacity restrictions in paper-based and early electronic payment
systems, the data content attached to payments was considerable restricted.
Invoice data was transported separately between supplier and customer.
Today,
Today storage and communication capacity costs have reached such low
levels, that the invoice can be easily attached to the payment information and
thereby completely new benefits can be achieved.”
