What industry associations need to know about e‑invoicing
A quick overview
- Since 27 November 2020, providers of goods and services to federal authorities under the terms of public contracts are required by law to submit electronic invoices (e-invoices).
- To ensure that the federal E-Invoicing Ordinance (E-Rechnungsverordnung, ERechV) is implemented successfully and without delay, industry associations, as key multipliers in the private sector, can help and motivate suppliers so that their transition to e-invoicing is as smooth as possible.
How can you help the members of your industry association?
In the media centre, you can download detailed information about e-invoicing in the federal administration. This information about the introduction of e-invoicing is important for various purposes and target groups.
