SAP Solution: E-Invoice

Electronic invoicing has gone from a nice-to-have to a must-have for companies. New laws around the world - including those aimed at combating tax fraud - are driving change and accelerating the transition from paper to digital invoices and archiving.

Since 2025, companies in Germany have been obliged to receive and process B2B electronic invoices in a structured data format. Ulrich Winter from Nagarro explains how to implement this quickly and what add-ons should do.

Digital invoices are catching on, but it's hard to say goodbye to paper.

Anyone who still e-mails invoices as PDF attachments will soon be saying goodbye to them. The future belongs to e-invoicing, which will render PDFs redundant.

The EU is considering whether tax reporting obligations and electronic invoicing should be standardized uniformly throughout Europe. What impact will this have?

From November 2020, invoices for all public contracts in Germany must be issued and sent electronically.
