What EU Electronic Invoicing Directive 2014/55/EU - Public Procurement E-Invoicing requires
Directive 2014/55/EU requires all EU contracting authorities and contracting entities to be able to receive and process electronic invoices complying with the European standard EN 16931-1. The obligation applied from 18 April 2019 for central government entities and from 18 April 2020 for sub-central contracting authorities. The Directive does not mandate suppliers to send electronic invoices but creates the infrastructure for interoperable B2G (business-to-government) e-invoicing across all EU Member States using a single European semantic data model and XML syntax.
