Business value
Operational complexity and risk continue to intensify as organizations grow globally and expand their footprints across regions. Maintaining compliance and adapting to frequently changing regulations is a growing challenge and is particularly important when it comes to invoicing. Invoicing has traditionally been expensive and prone to errors as companies rely on paper documents and manually intensive processes. However, organizations have begun to move away from paper invoices to reduce costs and speed up the end-to-end process.
Moreover, governments are increasingly turning to electronic invoicing as a key component of tax digitalization. By requiring organizations to digitally submit real-time tax information to tax authorities, governments are able to minimize tax evasion and manipulation, and reduce fraud. Whether you are in the public or private sector, electronic invoicing is of growing importance and the world is shifting to paperless document processing. Without implementing electronic invoicing, you risk compliance issues, unnecessary costs, and lagging behind your competitors.
Feature details
You will be able to use the Electronic Invoicing Add-on in scenarios where you must create and send an electronic document to the designated parties. The configurability options that are available in Finance and Supply Chain Management are limited to document transformation. The service will extend these options by adding the configurable integrations that are available.
