What is e-Invoicing?
E-Invoicing, or electronic invoicing, is the digital exchange of invoice information directly between suppliers and buyers’ accounting systems. Unlike traditional invoicing methods, e-Invoicing eliminates the need for paper-based processes, manual data entry, and email attachments. It’s faster, safer, and more efficient.
