What are the reasons to have an eInvoicing Pioneer Group?

The eInvoicing Advisory Group for the eInvoicing Readiness Checker proved to be a successful experience of co-creation involving eInvoicing stakeholders and the European Commission to achieve a service that responded to stakeholders' needs.

Now that the eInvoicing Readiness Checker is live, it is important to is considered useful to replicate the model whereby a motivated group of eInvoicing stakeholders meet to provide a range of input of  feedback to the European Commission and on eInvoicing matters and to drive activities to support the launch of the European Standard on eInvoicing as well as to support the compliance with Directive 2014/55/EU.

The purpose of the eInvoicing Pioneer Group will be to identify different national and sector specific stakeholders (relevant national & sub-national authorities with responsibility for eInvoicing) to engage in different targeted activities such as the following ongoing ones:

• The promotion of the eInvoicing Readiness Checker throughout national eInvoicing networks;
• The participation in the  2017 Study on the State of play of B2G eInvoicing in public procurement online survey to obtain further information on B2G eInvoicing in public procurement. This is a refresh activity building on the previous work that was done as part of the 2016 Study on the State of play of B2G eInvoicing in public procurement.
