The e-invoicing landscape is rapidly evolving, and compliance is now non-negotiable. Driven by expanding regulatory mandates and shifting data standards, these rules require structured, machine-readable invoice formats instead of traditional PDFs or paper.

Naturally, this requires a huge overhaul for many organisations. This means including e-invoicing integration into existing ERPs and AP process transformation. However, once this transformation is implemented, structured e-invoicing offers significant efficiency gains, improved accuracy, and better working capital.

In this webinar, our expert speakers talk through the latest e-invoicing updates and how you can ensure your organisation is ready.

The webinar delves into:

- Background & Update: Examining the new rules and compliance expectations. When does an invoice count as an e-invoice in terms of structure and format?

- Consequences of different error types and maintaining robust governance

- Integration into SAP & ERP landscapes (SAP S/4HANA readiness)

- Turning compliance into advantage: cost-savings, revenue gains, and business intelligence

- The role of automation and AI in future-proofing your e-invoicing strategy

- Case-study and demo of end-to-end e-invoice processing within SAP
