  I don't want to assume they are on the same server.
  I basically want to email you an invoice, and you be able to "upload"
it in such a way that it creates a purchase order. Probably you don't
want to actually commit it -- it needs to be edited/adjusted, but in
many cases, it might be just fine the way it is.
  For regular transactions between two companies, this would win.

  EBXML does this at the Fortune500 scale of enterprise, but seems to
have significant difficulties scaling down to the 4 person company,
where bookeeping is a PITA.
