Support for European e-invoicing mandates
The EU Directive on e-invoicing and public procurement (2014/55/EU) gives countries the opportunity to implement local legislation requiring vendors to send e-invoices to public administrations (PA) with the goal of making e-invoicing the predominant invoicing method in Europe by 2020. Other countries, such as Italy and France, have gone even further by mandating B2B and/or B2C to utilise e-invoicing softwares for local businesses.
Esker helps companies deliver e-invoices in compliance with all the unique specifications of European countries. This includes processing any format (e.g., PDF, UBL, Facturae in Spain, Fattura-PA in Italy, etc.), communicating with PA platforms (including PEPPOL) to send e-invoices and provide status updates, and providing e-invoice archiving that’s compliant with the EU Directive and regulatory frameworks.
