SEEBURGER smart-eInvoice® outbound Automated e-Invoicing for SAP

Not only public authorities, but an ever increasing number of companies in Germany and abroad are requiring their contractors to use e-invoicing. In Germany, federal and state contracting authorities may refuse to accept non-digital invoices (eg. paper or PDF) under certain circumstances from Nov. 27, 2020. As Germany has a decentralized government system, although based on central tax law, many of the 16 states have their own very specific requirements for the layout and sending of electronic invoices. Germany-based companies – or foreign companies that want to do business with them – have no choice; they must comply with their customers’ requirements. Completely switching to electronic invoicing makes it easier to comply with national and international B2B and B2G regulations, which include stipulations on format, processes and standards.  Why not use the SAP add-on SEEBURGER smart-eInvoice®-outbound to not only automatically meet these requirements but also to simplify issuing all your invoices?

With our SEEBURGER smart-eInvoice®-outbound solution, issuing invoices is fully automated within SAP. Invoices are sent immediately and logged for transparency so that you always know what invoice has gone to which customer and when. Furthermore, invoices are automatically checked before they are sent to ensure they meet content and format requirements. This all speeds up the process of issuing invoices which means that not only are invoices paid earlier, but reducing human intervention to a minimum could mean an 80% cost saving. For you, this means maximum flexibility, data security and user-friendliness.
