Direct electronic sales invoicing
Reliable audit trails for paper and electronic invoices are required for authenticity of origin, integrity of content, and legibility of invoices.
Netherlands specifics
Suppliers that have an agreement with the government on or after 01 Jan 2017 must use electronic invoicing to invoice government entities (B2G). Agreements before 01 Jan 2017 are not included in this obligation but can voluntarily change to e-invoicing after consulting with the client. Suppliers who receive their orders from a government-owned purchasing system can continue to bill as usual. Based on EU Directive 2014/55/EU, all contracting authorities must make the arrangements to receive and process e-invoices by April 2019.
Electronic invoices that are received by public administration are processed using a semi-automated process based on the maturity of their levels of their IT systems. Some agencies process e-invoices automatically, others manually.
The economic operators can submit e-invoice to the Dutch government through these channels:
- Supplier Portal
- Simpler invoicing
- Direct connect to Digipoort
- Services providers participants
How Infor meets this requirement
Clients can create billing invoices using customer orders or direct billing invoices.
When you release the billing invoice, successful batch jobs must be run to process them into the subsystem update. The invoice is moved to Receivables. The corresponding invoice record in Localization Services Platform (LSP) is created by the successful triggering of the FSM_ION_SyncInvoice_Outbound BOD.
