Adoption of the European e-Invoice and PEPPOL network at national level continues. Italy is the first country in terms of volumes of electronic orders exchanged over the PEPPOL network. As regards electronic invoicing, work is underway to make PEPPOL fully compatible with the national process based on SDI and FatturaPA.

In the eIGOR and EeISI projects the translator between
EU standard and FatturaPA has been made.
Another main deliverable of these projects
has been the definition of
the national CIUS.

10. SCALES project: eInvoicing logical architecture
Components:
- End entities: the legal persons that act as
supplier and buyer in the purchase-to-pay process
supported by Scales.
- Hub are intermediaries between End entities and
Scales network.
- The Scales Node is in charge of:
- Offer a data integration layer allowing Hubs to
create digital object (i.e. invoices, order, etc) in
the DLT
- Offer a VAS partner set of APIS in order to allow
to propose a service to the involved parties
- Offer mapping services between formats
- Implement persistence layer of all the data and
metadata of objects
- Implement the Corda R3 flows
- Scales Common Services are in charge of:
Provide x.509 Pki credentials to Scales node, i.e.
a legal identity; Notarize transaction; Map IPs
onto Scales node names, in order to let the
Corda R3 flows happen; provide Federated
identity service to External parties; provide
dispatching service
