E-invoicing FAQs

E-invoicing is not limited to just one kind of invoicing. We make a distinction between:

  • B2C e-invoicing: Electronic invoicing between a consumer and a business.
  • B2B e-invoicing: The exchange of structured invoice data between two businesses, a buyer and a supplier. B2B e-invoicing has seen significant growth thanks to the rise of numerous Accounts Payable (AP) platforms on the buyer side.
  • B2G e-invoicing: The exchange of structured invoice data between a business (supplier) and a governmental entity (buyer). B2G e-invoicing in Europe is regarded as a great success and as result originally European standards such as the Peppol network, and electronic invoice specifications are now in the process of going global from Asia-Pacific to North America.
  • Clearance: The requirements to share invoice data with tax authorities. Tax authorities in many countries are seeking to use e-invoicing technologies as a means to reduce their VAT gap.

An e-invoice is a type of invoice in digital format and contains structured data that can be exchanged and makes automatic invoice processing easier for all parties involved. A lot of invoices are not considered e-invoices. These include:

  • An unstructured invoice on a webpage or via email
  • An invoice in PDF format, or in Word
  • A paper invoice
  • A scanned paper invoice
  • Images of an invoice such as jpeg

Electronic Data Interchange, or EDI, was one of the first technologies for companies to exchange documents. Companies need to connect to a secured and specialized network so invoices can be sent and received. With EDI we are talking about a point-to-point connection between suppliers and buyers.

E-invoicing takes more the network approach: in this model multiple buyers and suppliers exchange e-invoices through the same platforms, and with standardized formats. Efficiency and scalability is the name of the game here. Adopting new buyers or sellers is much easier.

The European standard on e-invoicing. It was introduced to ensure interoperability and compatibility among different e-invoicing systems. This standard facilitates using different syntaxes like UBL and UN/CEFACT CII.

Pan-European Public Procurement Online. Peppol is an international network and standardized framework that connects organizations of all sizes, eliminating the hassles of incompatible formats and manual processing, when exchanging electronic documents, such as e-invoices, purchase orders, catalogs, and other messages.
