EINVOICING

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.

WHAT IS AN EINVOICE

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

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.
