Electronic Invoicing

Governments around the world are rapidly introducing mandatory electronic invoicing requirements designed to improve tax transparency, reduce fraud and increase reporting efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Electronic Invoicing: Common Questions

Which countries currently require mandatory electronic invoicing?

Mandatory electronic invoicing requirements are already in force in markets including Mexico (CFDI), Brazil (NF-e, NFS-e, CT-e), Italy (FatturaPA, SDI), Belgium (Peppol) and Japan (Qualified Invoice System), with France moving toward electronic invoicing readiness and additional countries across the European Union expected to introduce similar frameworks. Requirements and timelines vary by country and are subject to change.

How is electronic invoicing typically integrated with SAP?

Electronic invoicing integration generally involves configuring SAP to generate invoice data in the required format, connecting to the relevant government or network platform (such as SDI in Italy or Peppol in Belgium), validating and transmitting documents, and processing the confirmations or rejections returned by the authority or network. The specific configuration and middleware required depends on the country.

What happens if our organization fails to comply with an electronic invoicing mandate?

Consequences vary by jurisdiction but can include invoices being rejected as invalid for tax purposes, financial penalties, and disruption to accounts payable and accounts receivable processes with trading partners. Because requirements and enforcement dates change over time, organizations should confirm current obligations with local tax authorities or legal counsel alongside their SAP implementation.

Can ERP TOHAMA Group support electronic invoicing in multiple countries at the same time?

Yes. We support organizations rolling out electronic invoicing compliance across several markets in parallel, coordinating country-specific legal analysis, SAP configuration and government connectivity as part of a broader Global Localization or Global SAP Rollouts program.

Does electronic invoicing support continue after the initial go-live?

Yes. Electronic invoicing regulations continue to evolve after go-live, so we provide production support and monitor regulatory updates so that SAP configurations are adjusted in line with new requirements. This ongoing support is often delivered through our Application Management Services.
