What is e-invoicing

The electronic invoicing system, also called e-invoicing, has altered the way small businesses handle their bills. By facilitating the quick and safe online sharing of invoice data, suppliers and buyers can streamline financial operations.

With the help of e-invoicing, businesses are handling their invoices in a different way than they did with paper and PDF methods. This digital change improves the efficiency, security, and accuracy of financial data transfer between firms.

Understanding e-invoicing

E-invoicing relies on a standard, and it easily exchange invoice data between different software systems. For businesses in South Africa interested in integrating e-invoicing, it’s necessary to connect your software to the Peppol network through a service provider approved by the South African Revenue Service (SARS).
