What industry associations need to know about e‑invoicing

A quick overview

Since 27 November 2020, providers of goods and services to federal authorities under the terms of public contracts are required by law to submit electronic invoices (e-invoices).
To ensure that the federal E-Invoicing Ordinance ( E-Rechnungsverordnung, ERechV) is implemented successfully and without delay, industry associations, as key multipliers in the private sector, can help and motivate suppliers so that their transition to e-invoicing is as smooth as possible.
