What is e-invoicing?
E-invoicing, or electronic invoicing, is the process of sending bills and invoices digitally between buyers and sellers. This topic typically involves a standardized format that allows invoices to be issued, received, and processed automatically by the involved parties’ financial systems. This standardization is crucial for compliance, especially in regions like the European Union, where certain standards for e-invoicing are mandated.Support in Hyperline
Hyperline is compliant with the e-invoicing standards of the European Union, meaning it can generate valid invoices in both PDF and XML formats, and automatically transmit issued invoices to the appropriate tax authority in the invoicing entity’s country. Hyperline is proactively integrating this compliance into its product foundations by partnering with a third-party being compliant with local requirements to offer this service in each country as the e-invoicing mandate becomes mandatory.| Country | Format / Platform | Requirement Scope | Hyperline status | Auto transmission |

Customer notification
When e-invoicing is enabled and the invoice is eligible for automatic transmission, the “Invoice to pay” email notification is not sent when the invoice is issued, but only when the invoice is actually transmitted to the e-invoicing system. This email indicates to the customer that the invoice has been transmitted and is ready to be paid.
