Input from the Mini-workshops
- The law and the new standard will give more uptake, bigger volumes and a bigger "e-invoice industry".
- There will be a lot of integrations projects, particularly for those suppliers who can't use standard off-the-shelf solutions
- Much focus on "technical" aspects (standards, formats) from the buyers. Better to let the service provider offer solutions and focus on benefits
- Invoice issuing system often have bad data quality or rudimentary structured data - this can be a challange when creating the e-invoice which requires high level of structure data
- Extension will create problems and cause unnessary cost, if they become common
- Important that service providers takes responsibility about interoperability and to explain to their customers that "customized implementations" and specific requirements (extensions, CIUS) comes with a cost related to interoperability and onboarding
- XSLT for transformation from CII to UBL would be great to have and it would be implemented if it has good enough quality
- Negative invoice is seen as a problem. In Sweden, CreditNotes have always been used for crediting.
- The PEPPOL CIUS is a step forward, the documentation looks very good. An improvement to existing documentation for PEPPOL BIS and Svefaktura
- It is often not the technical aspects that halts/limits e-Invoice adoption, it is lack of knowledge (on the buyer/seller side)
- Implementation can be a problem for some ERP systems
- Some thinks that very few extensions and CIUS will be used in Sweden (as PEPPOL is/will be mandates for public sector)
- To much focus on eInvoice is taking away the focus on the whole procurment process (catalogue, order, delivery). This has traditionally been important in Sweden but lately, only invoice.
- More trainings will be necessary
- Invoice Response message is important and should be prioritized
- Those who have invested in PDF-only solutions will have big issues next year with the new law
- Validation rules should be multi-lingual
