eInvoicing, a digital strategy
ProSpend can fast-track your digital transformation with our eInvoicing module and receive your supplier invoices digitally.
Our feature-rich, secure eInvoicing solution is the smarter way to increase efficiency, accuracy and security.

Because eInvoicing data is checked before it's sent, it will save you time correcting information, chasing lost invoices and manually re-keying.
What it is and how it works
In the simplest terms, eInvoicing allows the seller to create and send an invoice from their software, through the eInvoicing network straight into the buyers software.
Automatic exchange of invoice data
eInvoicing (sometimes known as electronic invoicing) is the automated exchange of structured invoice data directly between senders and receiver’s software across a highly secure, governed network.
In the simplest terms, eInvoicing allows the seller to create and send an invoice from their software, through the eInvoicing network straight into the buyers
software.
ProSpend has partnered with Ozedi as their Peppol Access Point for the receipt of invoice/date through the Peppol Network
The Peppol Network
Peppol was created by OpenPEPPOL in 2008 to set the standard for eInvoicing and other eDocuments.
The Peppol framework outlines the Peppol UBL (Universal Business Language) format for these documents and it governs the Access Point network.
This framework is currently used in over 34 countries including Australia, New
Zealand and many countries throughout Europe and Asia.
Set up Service
ProSpend offers our clients a setup service to enable einvoice.
We will assist you in advising your Suppliers you are eInvoice ready and configure your database.
A 30minute Q&A session is scheduled for finace teams to understand how eInvoices will appear in ProSpend.
The data is better
The following line data will be the standard delivery. ProSpend can be configured so the supplier payment request can be created as a header only or multi-line.
Additional data can be imported based on the output from each supplier and custom data
fields can be configured on request.
Minimise fraud and billing scams
Under the Peppol network invoices are sent in the same predefined format with encryption and strict security significantly reducing the possibility of it being altered in any way.
Sending and receiving invoices directly through the network via the approved and accredited Access Points, means it reduces the risk of fake invoices and scams to virtually nil.
