                <p>eInvoicing is the electronic exchange of an invoice document between a supplier and a buyer. An eInvoice is an invoice that has been issued, transmitted and received in a structured data format which allows for its automatic and electronic processing, as defined in Directive 2014/55/EU.</p>
