Questions during the workshop
Question | Answers | Actions to be taken |
|---|---|---|
| Who are you? | ||
| Do you have a profile at CEF Digital? | 3 out of 45 has a profile | Invite participants to use CEF Digital |
Do you see other areas where trainings and webinars could be of interest? | N/A | |
| Do public authorities have electronic workflow support for managing invoices? | Not as such - payments and pre-award have been in place for some years but handling of invoices depends on the individual ministry/agency etc. | |
| Which eInvoicing formats do you currently use? | ||
| The European standard requires a high level of information quality. Can this prove to be a challenge in your coming implementation? | ||
| Two formats - do you see this as an opportunity or challenge? | ||
| Is CEF eDelivery/PEPPOL relevant to you? | Yes, highly relevant as eInvoicing does not go alone | |
| Dont you believe it is a problem with the cross-border scenario if each country has its own standard and does not follow the - lets say the PEPPOL CIUS - where at least someone is coordinating the development? | Yes, it is unfortunately one of the shortcomings of the CIUS. If all implements their own subset of the CIUS it will be a problem for the interoperability of eInvoicing in Europa. | |
| Does this mean that you have to support the full standard to allow all suppliers across Europa to send their invoices? | Yes, if you want 100% full coverage then you need to do that. |
