One of your clients notifies their suppliers of rejected invoices via email. You suggest that they instead send notifications to suppliers for rejected electronic invoices using industry-standard XML as a UBL 2.1 Invoice Response Message. Your client wants to know about the benefits of making this switch. Which two benefits of this feature can you share with them?

Switching from email notifications to a standardized UBL 2.1 XML Invoice Response provides significant B2B automation benefits. The primary advantage is the ability for the supplier's financial system to automatically process the electronic response message (D), eliminating manual intervention. This structured message contains specific rejection reason codes and descriptions, which can be automatically parsed and displayed within the supplier's system. This enables the supplier to immediately see why the invoice was rejected and take corrective action (B), speeding up the resolution and resubmission process.

A. Customizing responses per invoice type is a business rule configuration within the application, not an inherent benefit of the UBL 2.1 standard itself.
C. The UBL 2.1 message is a data interchange format for invoice status; it does not include functionality for requesting manual support or intervention.
