TOKYO February 2, 2007 - ANA, in conjunction with fuel supplier ExxonMobil Aviation, became the first IATA member airline to implement an advanced automated invoicing and reconciliation system for fuel purchases on December 6 of last year. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) based system is designed to streamline accounting and administration procedures, reduce the risk of error and save ANA an estimated JPY 10 million annually.

XML allows data stored in a single database to be utilized by multiple applications including those that are web-based. This makes XML solutions particularly efficient for invoicing applications which involve a series of companies across an industry value chain.

The XML standards for fuel purchase, invoicing and reconciliation, were developed over three years by a group lead by IATA with participation from airlines, fuel suppliers, into plane service suppliers and system providers. ANA is the first to implement these standards with systems developed by FuelPlus of Germany. The system allows computers of the suppliers and the airline to directly exchange data, removing the need to manually input information from paper invoices at the airline end.

The new system will allow ANA to achieve greater efficiencies within its administrative processes, providing yet another example of IATA's vision to harness technology to 'simplify the business'. In April 2007, ANA will begin using the system with its supplier Nippon Oil Corporation, contributing significantly to ANA's efforts to achieve greater efficiencies in both domestic and international operations.
