eInvoicing

eInvoicing provides a set of electronic submissions used to create electronic sales invoices, which are sent directly to customers.

Note: The ERP utilizes the electronic supplier invoices through GEMS messages, which transform proprietary documents into BODs in ION.

CII

Use CII to create message syntax, which are exchanged globally between trading partners. It was developed in UN/CEFACT with input from many business organizations, such as GS1,EUROFER, CIDX, EDIFICE, AIAG/ODETTE/JAMA, GHX, UK e-Government, UK HM Customs & Excise, and EDS.

PEPPOL

All European public administrations must support accepting invoices in electronic format from their suppliers, in compliance with the European standards approved by CEN: UN/CEFACT XML and UBL. Some countries have created their own national platforms to centralize the receipt of invoices from suppliers and others have opted to use the European PEPPOL network in preference for these B2G exchanges.

These standards are available for these invoices:

  • PEPPOL BIS, based on the UBL standard
  • CII, the UN/CEFACT XML

You can create invoices and credit notes based on these standards according to the country specifications of the destination country.

The LSP Web Services Gateway provides connectivity to Access Point Providers (APP) through the PEPPOL Access Point. Registration for multi-tenant cloud deployments is through LSP.

Note: 

PEPPOL registration and invoice submission are subject to licensing limits.

The number of legal entities that you can register in PEPPOL is based on the purchased license method. The number of invoices that you can submit each year is based on the purchased invoice allowance. Invoice allowances reset at the beginning of each calendar year and are updated when a higher allowance is purchased and applied.

If the required license method or invoice allowance is not available, PEPPOL registration and invoice submission can fail.

Multiple invoice types

For some services, you can run more than one type of invoice and set up rules to determine the type of invoice generated.
