Notes to answerer
Asker: This sentence was taken from a voiceover script that doesn't sound very formal. Elektronische Rechnungslegung ist sicher eine wunderbare Übersetzung aber ich brauche etwas Knappes (sonst kommt der Sprecher nicht nach) und Prägnantes. ebilling gefällt mir daher ziemlich gut. Danke an alle für die Hilfe!
