The invoice is one of the most important documents in


commercial life.
A no-brainer:
With the increasing digitalization of communication
and commercial life, the invoice must obviously also
become digital and be supported by digital processes.

The goal of the standardization of electronic invoice


exchange is the extensive automation of invoice
generation and processing with a simultaneous
decrease in cost and effort, while ensuring that
electronic invoices are legally valid.

Approach
PROJECT CONSULT Unternehmensberatung Dr. Ulrich Kampffmeyer GmbH 2011

/ Autorenrecht: <Vorname Nachname> 3/3/16 / Quelle: PROJECT CONSULT 2

The current discussion on electronic billing in


Germany concentrates on a specific form of
exchange of electronic invoices:
Transmission by e-mail, via portals or provided by
web services
Combined format made up of an XML data set and a
displayable document of the invoice, bundled in a
PDF/A-3 container

This is just one of the possible accepted type of an


electronic invoice but recommended in current
legislation and tax regulations.

Challenges for ZUGFeRD

Logo 2

PROJECT CONSULT Unternehmensberatung Dr. Ulrich Kampffmeyer GmbH 2011

/ Autorenrecht: <Vorname Nachname> 3/3/16 / Quelle: PROJECT CONSULT 2

The current German XML schema is not completely compliant


with the planned European standard, but
Core invoice attributes and model are included in ZUGFeRD XML
CEN MUG was source for ZUGFeRD-XML
UN/CEFACT XML CII (Cross Industry Invoice) is included in
ZUGFeRD-XML

Special software is required to build an invoice object and to


unpack the object at the receiving party
the current trend favours a simple XML format

Three different processes needed for handling ZUGFeRD:


(1) the PDF object,
(2) the XML data,
(3) the eye-readable document.
But which is the legally relevant part of the object to be retained as
evidence record 1, 2, 3 or all? That depends

Alliance for the hybrid format

French/German co-operation on a hybrid format:


Intervention to the EUMSF eInvoices AGS;
dated Sep. 18, 2015.
France and Germany are jointly working on the hybrid format
standard since end of September, 2015.

The German/French hybrid concept,


based on the proposals of the national organisations FNFE
(France) and FeRD (Germany),
will be presented at the Governmental Meeting on Digitisation,
Paris, Oct. 27, 2015.

The goal is preferably extensive and cost-effective


automation
In a company or administration the accounting
normally is homogenous and thoroughly organized.
Electronic invoice exchange raises the problem of
different formats, processes and systems mainly
with the receiver of the invoice.

Typically, the creator and sender of an electronic


invoice defines the form in which the e-invoice is
delivered.
The sender must consider:
Are the receivers prepared to receive e-invoices or
will they demand additional invoicing on paper? Or
other format? Or other media? Or other channel?
A company- and industry-specific invoicing software
solution requires attention on the efforts for
on-boarding business partners and even the
reduction of suppliers.

Different complexities of invoicing require different
forms of integration:
Standardized off-the-shelf products and services
with general electronic order and transaction
processes.
Invoicing is initiated by these processes and generally
doesnt require manual action.

Individual or specially configured services and


products that also involve individual accounting.
The invoice is generally initiated manually and typically
requires verification and approval processes; possibly
even reconciliation processes with the invoice
recipient.

Regardless of how and in what format invoices reach the company,


they are basically processed in the same manner and in the same

The receiver is driven from the outside.


The receiver can seldom refuse receipt of an
electronic invoice.
Should the receiver use own solutions or portals for
electronic invoices, these must be equipped for the
reception and processing of different external
formats.

First, the context of the invoice is only partially


known:

Order
Delivery note/performance report
Master data
Contract
Sometimes, the invoicing and vendor history

The necessary information for releasing and paying


the invoice is gathered throughout a multi-step

Regardless of how and in what format invoices reach a recipient,


they are basically processed in the same manner, with the same method and
in the same quality.

Already with the reception and interpretation of


incoming invoices a bundle of different, interacting and
even iterative sub-processes are involved, to prepare
the invoice for further (automated) processing.
The capture and preparation process should generate
the same quality independently of the original medium
of the invoice.

is mainly an organizational issue, because

necessary.

Invoice processing:
a classic process in two versions

Integrated
In the accounting/finance/ERP solution the verification and
approval process is implemented with an internal, integrated
workflow.
The invoice transaction data set under examination is linked to
the associated documents and these can be displayed
through a viewer inside the financial application.
Autonomous
A separate software is used to link the documents under
examination to the associated data and transfer the correct
data to the accounting/ finance/ERP solution based on the
result. The documents are kept in the separate system,

Processing
For efficient automated invoice processing the
correct entry data, policies for processing (e.g.
discounting, contract management et al.) and
payment are necessary (in future direct e-payment).
Documents are not required for the booking,
accounting and payment processes, but are only
linked as record to these transactions.

Integration into application environment
Special software applications are necessary for EDI
processing.
With EDI invoice processing can be completely
automated.
Its use is limited to large companies and to industryspecific solutions.
This raises the question for companies already using
EDI:
why do we need an other e-invoice format and process?

S & R Administration and retention


PROJECT CONSULT Unternehmensberatung Dr. Ulrich Kampffmeyer GmbH 2011

/ Autorenrecht: <Vorname Nachname> 3/3/16 / Quelle: PROJECT CONSULT 2

Invoices are subject to retention requirements.


They are also subject to legal requirements.
Structured data
The management of bookings and transactions
generally takes place in an accounting, finance or
ERP system.
These systems ensure correctness and compliance
with software controls.
As long as data subject to retention requirements is
not migrated from this primary system, its correct
retention is generally assured.

Invoices are subject to retention requirements. They are also subject to legal requirements.

Booking and accounting data

Evidence records
If booking data and evidence record are not identical
(e.g. in EDI), the evidence record for a transaction must
be retained and be permanently linked to the transaction
data set (same index for both for retrieval and access
purposes)

Booking and accounting data


Evidence records

Evidence records and unstructured documents


are often stored separately in a records management
and/or auditable electronic archive system.
The architecture differs depending on:
Access is possible only through the ERP system, which
manages the metadata and access pointers to the
repository (HSM approach)
Access is possible via an own database of the Records
Management or Archive solution, independent of the
ERP system, (integrated approach).
This allows the use of archived data and documents by
other systems, and the relief of the ERP from older
unnecessary information.

What needs to be retained?


Data from accounting/ERP and other related
systems in machine-readable form
Evidence (documents, datasets) in direct accessible
form.
If originally machine-readable, this ability must be
preserved
Context of the complete business transaction (this
is much more than only the invoice and the invoice
data)
Audit trails of the processing and the retention
operations

procedures used

Process security and auditability


The integration of electronic invoices into existing
system landscapes often affects many systems,
directly or indirectly.
Two requirements need to be considered:
Consistent process security
This can be controlled and secured via appropriate
process or workflow software.
Consistent auditability
This can be secured through audit trails that record
all process transactions concerning the invoice end
to end.

Local, regional and global


International business transactions require
international standards
Government requirements cannot be the only
measure for invoice standards, because public
sector organisations act mainly on a national level
Further legal harmonization is needed; i.E. retention
criteria and periods, identification a.s.o.
Get rid of old proprietary technologies
e-invoicing is only the first step of business
automation lets go for procurement and other
processes!
