Dear Conor McClean
I am writing regarding your request for information, which I received on 1
August. In that request, you asked for information about our software
systems.
Having conferred with colleagues, I should be grateful if you would
clarify what you mean by "procurement system" (for example, do you mean
purchase to pay system or tendering system or some other system?) and
"invoicing system" (for example, do you mean our sales ledger invoices
(i.e. that we send out to customers) or purchase ledger invoice processing
/ invoice factor company?).
As you will be aware, the current deadline for the Gallery’s response is
29 August and I will now pause the clock until I have received
clarification from you on this matter.
Please send your clarification to this email address.
Yours sincerely

Dear Nicholas Smith,
Thank you for your response. I hope you're well.
'Procurement system' refers to software system that manages all procurement related activities. A purchase to pay system is a good example of procurement software.
'Invoice system' refers to any software system that assists in managing invoice related activities. For example, it is popular to send invoices via email.
Yours sincerely,
Conor McClean
