Paper? PDF? What to do when your partners have yet to adopt E-Invoicing

Despite the advancements in technology and growing momentum of E-Invoicing’s global adoption, the United States has yet to join the movement. The lack of commitment in the US can be partially attributed to the absence of government mandates and, in turn, the lack of interoperability. This creates an environment where certain companies have embraced and implemented e-Invoicing while their partners are sticking to paper and PDF.

+ How paper invoices can be supported with the use of OCR (OCR with AI/ML capabilities)
+ How PDF invoices can be automated with the use of OCR
+ How pure E-Invoicing will be deployed for suppliers who are open for such format
+ Finding a comprehensive solution that can manage different invoicing streams

Recent developments in Supply Chain Finance and how it relates to E-Invoicing

Supply Chain Finance is one of the fastest growing products in the Trade Tinance space. However, corporates and their service providers often do not use similar terminology or accounting techniques. The Global Supply Chain Finance Forum – comprised of Bankers Association for Finance & Trade (BAFT), Euro Banking Association (EBA), Factors Chain International (FCI), International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), and International Trade and Forfaiting Association (ITFA) – intends to provide clarity and consistency to the world of supply chain finance and supports an industry-wide, uniform adoption of the GSCFF industry definitions. When all parties use similar techniques and terminology, it makes for a more streamlined and efficient process that can also be supported by electronic invoicing processes and ultimately foster business growth.

In Central America we had E-Invoices in Costa Rica and in Guatemala. While Costa Rica has the obligation since September 2018 with public administration being ready to accept and process E-Invoices, Guatemala has been working in several forms of no mandatory E-Invoicing since 2007. There, the major change came in 2019 with the final version of the process.

E-Invoicing in Germany and Belgium

E-Invoicing in Germany: Status Quo and Next Steps
In Germany an important milestone is reached: Since November 2019, the public administration is ready to accept and process E-Invoices. The highest federal authorities, constitutional bodies and other authorities of the federal administration have succesfully implemented two web-based platforms, which receive E-Invoices by various channels like e-mail, upload, transmission via webservice or Peppol. In 2020, there is on one hand intensive work on improving the platforms with regard to usability. And on the other hand, federal administration informs invoicing parties about the obligation to send E-Invoices from November 27th on. You will learn more why the obligation to send E-Invoices is a chance for the digitization of accounting in business.
Furthermore, you will learn why E-Invoicing is only the beginning of E-Procurement and what the recent VeR study recommends regarding making E-Invoicing fully mandatory and implementing an Italy-like clearance system in Germany.

Insights Into the Ambitious Flemish E-Invoicing Project
The Flemish Authorities are receiving over 73% of all their invoices as XML-invoices (European norm) by making it mandatory for the suppliers. The goal is to achieve 80% by the end of 2020. The double impact of this ambitious Flemish E-Invoicing project:
+ Bringing the B2B uptake in Belgium from 8% to 15%
+ Changing the Flemish authorities' late payment pattern into an early one
