This document summarizes the processes established for an online platform called the E-Invoice Gateway. The platform aims to build a community of practice around electronic invoicing in Europe. Key processes include:
1) Enlisting organizations involved in e-invoicing who can publish their profiles.
2) Establishing a lead point of contact (called a Country Information Manager) for each European country to provide e-invoicing content and promote the platform.
3) Collecting country-specific information on technical, legal and organizational aspects of e-invoicing through the managers.
4) Providing workgroups collaborating on e-invoicing standards a way to publish results on the platform.

This document provides an overview of the EEI Platform activities and instruments to be executed in 2010. This document is publicly available for any organization interested in and involved in electronic billing (e-billing), e-invoicing (e-invoicing), automated invoice processing and credit management in all its aspects.
This version provides an overview of eligible activities and instruments in 2010 on January 20, 2010. New developments in activities and instruments will lead to a modified version of the activity plan during the remaining of 2010.
The purpose of this document, its activities and instruments is to achieve the objectives determined by the EEI Platform. It is intended to effectively realise the proposed activities and instruments as much as possible, in tune with the participants of the EEI Platform and also in tune with other partners and stakeholders in the field of e-billing, e-invoicing and automated invoice processing.
The first section of this document primarily addresses the mission and positioning of the EEI Platform towards e-invoicing and invoice automation. This section also discusses the differentiation of the activities and instruments into four segments. Section 3 provides an extensive explanation of these segments.
Section 2 deals -in alphabetical order- with the activities and instruments that are scheduled to be executed using the 'SMART’ method. Therefore, the section starts with an explanation of the 'SMART' Framework.
E invoicing, e invoicing standardization in europeFriso de Jong
CEN has a long history of working on eInvoicing standardization through its eInvoicing Workshop. The Workshop has produced 3 phases of work including recommendations to update the EDI framework, standardized invoice contents, and a framework for an emerging European invoice operator network. CEN will continue this work and enhance it in line with recommendations from the EU Expert Group, including developing user guidelines for adopting the UN/CEFACT Cross Industry Invoice in Europe. Multiple CEN workshops contribute to the overall standardization landscape, and awareness and participation are key to successful implementation.

Mug 'core' cross industry invoice european message implementation guideline...Friso de Jong
The document summarizes the MUG project which created a European Core Invoice guideline. It describes the project organization and deliverables, including a CEN workshop agreement document that defines a cross-industry invoice data model and syntax mapping. Next steps proposed include documenting mappings to other invoice formats, defining extensions, and establishing a change management process.
The document summarizes a presentation on an e-invoice compliance toolbox. It describes an interactive user interface based on an annex matrix from sustainable compliance guidelines. The interface allows filtering by role, process step, and business implementation. It is intended for entities using e-invoicing, especially SMEs. The document requests comments on the usability of the interface and content from the commentary and matrix.
The document discusses guidelines for electronic invoicing compliance across Europe. It aims to develop simplified, standardized guidelines that are easy to understand and apply. The guidelines will be translated into multiple languages and used to create an interactive online tool to help companies comply with e-invoicing regulations. The tool will classify different e-invoicing systems and controls to ensure invoice authenticity, integrity, and legibility. It will also provide guidance on processes to link invoices to supplies for audit purposes. Feedback is sought on the guideline content and usability of the interactive compliance tool.
The document summarizes the proceedings of the CEN WS eInvoices III Open Meeting held on December 12, 2011 in Brussels. It includes a Code of Practice and Glossary of Terms for electronic invoices. The Code of Practice establishes guidelines for trading parties, service providers, and public administrations regarding electronic invoicing. It addresses issues like ensuring authenticity and integrity of electronic invoices. The meeting aimed to finalize the Code of Practice and Glossary of Terms as requested by the European Commission to support adoption of e-invoicing.
Awareness and promotion of electronic e invoicingFriso de Jong
This document summarizes a meeting of the WG 4 Awareness & Promotion group regarding the Electronic Invoice Gateway (EIG). The group canvassed for an operator for the EIG, developed a business plan, and continued developing content for the gateway. Their objectives are to improve existing EIG services to increase e-invoicing awareness across Europe. The presentation outlines the benefits of being the EIG operator, the business plan's vision and framework, and how attendees can get involved.
Agenda workshop electronic invoices, phase 3Friso de Jong
The document summarizes an agenda for a workshop on electronic invoices. The workshop will discuss the development of guidelines for electronic invoicing, enabling small and medium enterprises to use electronic invoice processes in Europe, establishing conformance criteria for interoperability across e-business networks, and promoting awareness of electronic invoicing. The agenda includes welcome remarks, working group presentations, demonstrations of e-invoicing tools, discussions of draft guidelines, and plans for future work. The workshop is part of a multi-year effort to develop standards and guidelines for electronic invoicing in Europe.
Work Group 3 of the CEN e-Invoicing project developed three documents over multiple face-to-face meetings: 1) Conformance Criteria to guide implementation of e-invoicing in Europe, 2) a Model Interoperability Agreement for electronic invoicing service providers, and 3) a position paper on Addressing & Routing that identifies areas for further work. The group included contributors from across Europe who debated topics like terminology, legal compliance, technology standards, and addressing schemes to establish guidelines for electronic invoicing interoperability.
E invoicing as accelerator for cross-industry ediFriso de Jong
E-invoicing is accelerating the shift from paper to electronic documents across industries in Europe. By 2020, it is predicted that over 50% of B2B invoices will be electronic. E-invoicing helps align the differing needs of large and small companies by offering formats and processes appropriate for all sizes. It also helps standardize documentation between countries and industries. As e-invoicing adoption increases, it will drive increased automation of related electronic documents across supply chains.
Tax-compliant global electronic invoice lifecycle managementFriso de Jong
This white paper discusses tax-compliant electronic invoice management. It provides an overview of value-added tax (VAT) compliance challenges for businesses, different types of VAT enforcement regimes, and strategies for optimizing auditability.

It outlines 4 tasks for the Forum: 1) Monitor e-invoicing adoption in EU states, 2) Exchange experiences and best practices, 3) Propose solutions to cross-border barriers, and 4) Discuss standards. For each task, it identifies priority topics and deliverables, including analyses of e-invoicing adoption rates and identification of barriers. Activity leaders would be appointed to coordinate input and recommendations for each task. The work would culminate in reports on the tasks delivered in September 2012.
Fundtech white paper, e invoicing provides new avenues for creditFriso de Jong
1) Electronic invoicing enables new forms of supply chain financing by providing banks visibility into trade transactions and relationships.
2) E-invoicing automates supply chain financing structures like factoring and invoice discounting, improving processes and risk analysis.
3) Integrating e-invoicing with supply chain financing provides opportunities for new financing products focused on payables and receivables.
Quadira, e invoicing, digital signatures and document archivingFriso de Jong
This document discusses e-invoicing, digital signatures, and document archiving with regards to EU legislation and solutions. It provides an overview of e-invoicing and how it streamlines the invoice-to-pay process compared to physical invoices. Key points covered include common legislation around archiving invoices for 5-10 years in EU countries, legally sending electronic invoices as PDF or XML files, and different security levels for electronic documents including requirements for digital signatures in the EU.

Introduction
Due to the fact that e-invoicing does have a very country specific focus many country related activities are
initiated (e.g. for supporting of SME). Given the focus on these specific activities, confusions about cross
boarder invoicing activities are still present.
There are activities which try to help in clarifying these barriers and help in collecting information about
technical, legal and organizational aspects of e-invoicing (see AustriaPro initiative ebCrossBorder1).
The CEN/ISSS workshop in e-invoicing is established as forum and meeting place for experts from several
stakeholders such as standardization authorities, public authorities, regulation authorities, solution providers,
general infoportals, national initiatives and certification authorities.
With their efforts in finishing the activities for the CEN/ISSS WS eINV workphase 1 the workgroup members
identified the need for enhanced communication and information about the topic e-invoicing and the way of
cooperation and publication of information.
With the help of information and communication technologies (ICT) this lack of information shall be reduced
and the building up of a community of practice in the area of European wide e-invoicing shall be fostered.
The task of the CEN/ISSS WS eINV Phase 2 workgroup 1 is to support these efforts in offering suitable ICT
which is supported by a knowledge management strategy.
The knowledge management strategy defines the internal processes which have to be implemented as
technical functions within this ICT tool. It is essential that the ICT tools support all workgroups in publishing
their results, in building a community of practice and in reducing barriers in the field of e-invoicing.
Due to the fact that the E-Invoice-Gateway is permanently updated the “frozen” status of the website with
date October 2009 can be found here: http://cwa.e-invoice-gateway.net/

1 Scope
The scope of workgroup 1 in CEN/ISSS WS eINV2:
• supporting to build up the planned website within the “e-invoicing gateway”;
• collecting and describing best practices country by country of electronic invoices and national
implementation guidelines in local language;
• supporting a network of national e-invoice forums to foster communication and exchange of national
best practices in electronic invoices;
• drafting guidelines as to how to move towards one e-invoice address registry inside EU and bringing
up best practice.
In the first workshop meeting a knowledge management strategy was discussed by members of the
CEN/ISSS WS phase 1. A stepwise (incremental) approach was chosen:
• Step 1 is to offer all parties who are operating in the field of e-invoicing a participation possibility in
an online platform where they are able to enter their profile.
• Step 2 is to offer high quality information about the country specific technical, legal and operational
aspects on e-invoicing and support publishing of the CEN/ISSS eINV2 WG results.
The strategy takes care of the following items:
1) Building a non-commercial information portal as single point of contact (SPOC) for European e-invoicing
information,
2) Activating a critical mass of users supporting the exchange and collection of high quality information,
3) Annually publishing an intellectual capital statement about e-invoicing.
The processes which shall support these strategies are:
1) Enlisting and self-enlisting of organizations in the field of e-invoicing in Europe (different stakeholders);
2) Establishing a lead person in the field of e-invoicing for each European country who has to fulfill several
duties and supports the CEN/ISSS WS eINV2;
3) Collecting country related information about technical, legal and organizational aspects;
4) Offering a web-based knowledge management tool which supports all workgroups of the CEN/ISSS WS
eINV2 in collaborating, publishing and getting response from the community;
5) Building a community of practice with the help of an annual event (call for use cases, call for papers, call
for best practices in the field of e-invoicing).
These processes will be described in section 2 of this document.
The special character of this CWA
This CEN CWA is a novelty and innovation for CEN due to the cause that the results of the business plan of
workgroup 1 is a fully functional website which connects knowledge and people in the field of e-invoicing
(http://www.e-invoice-gatewa.net).
One can find a limited version of the website dated October 2009 here: http://cwa.e-invoice-
gateway.net/
So in this CWA the strategy in the development of the website and the functionalities are described on a
general and non technological basis.

Other activities in the field of e-invoicing:
It is also of importance to refer to the following other activities in the field of e-invoicing which were taken in
account when implementing the E-Invoicing Gateway information platform:
• EU DG Taxation and Customs2
• EU DG Enterprise3
• Fiscalis e-Audit Group4
,
• EC Expert Group on e-Invoicing5 6
• PEPPOL project on electronic Public Procurement7
• IDABC (Interoperable Delivery of European eGovernment Services to public Administrations,
Businesses and Citizens)8
• Member State Tax Administrators
The information and the content of these initiatives and organisations are very important for the
implementation of e-invoicing in Europe and due to that reason selected content and information will be
found in the “Knowledge Base”9 section of the E-Invoice Gateway.

2.1 Definitions
CIM: The Country Information Manager (CIM) is a lead person in the field of e-invoicing for the specific
country and is responsible for identifying activities/companies/organisations in the field of e-invoicing in their
own country. They should inform those parties about this European-wide non-commercial activity. In case
someone needs more information about this CEN activity, they should inform about the mission of the
platform (native speaking contact for requests of own country) and should provide mentorship (in terms of
usability engineering aspects and continuous improvement process aspects).

3 Processes
Deduced from the strategy the following processes were defined and implemented on the website:
1) Enlisting of organizations in the field of e-invoicing in Europe.
A self-enlisting function helps in getting data from the organizations quickly.
2) Establishing a lead person in the field of e-invoicing for each European country who has to fulfill
several duties e.g. providing content about e-invoicing, checking the new enlisted organizations and
promoting the platform.
To foster the collection of country related data a local expert of every European country in the field of e-
invoicing supports the efforts. This person is well connected to the country’s initiatives and is an expert in the
field. This person works on a voluntarily basis for the E-Invoice Gateway.
3) Collecting country related information about technical, legal and organizational aspects.
Here a short executive summary brings a good overview about the current situation and additional
information about technical, legal and organizational aspects. The information is either uploaded or linked.
The respective Country Information Manager is responsible for the content: He/She has to update the
content when changes have occurred.
4) Offering a web based knowledge management tool which supports all workgroups of the CEN/ISSS
WS eINV2 in collaborating, publishing and getting response from the community.
Every workgroup has its own of working on their tasks. The technology does not handicap them in their work
but support their individual way of making progress and creating results. So the workgroups find on the
platform an easy and comfortable way in how to publish their results.
5) Building of a community of practice with the help of an annual event (call for use cases, call for papers,
call for best practices in the field of e-invoicing).
Establishing a community of practice community and an annual call for papers, call for best practice and use
cases in the field of e-invoicing will help in collecting information for the e-invoicing community and also raise
awareness for the topic.

3.1 Enlisting Organizations
The goal of the functionality of enlisting organizations is to create a directory of standardization authorities,
public authorities, regulation authorities, solution providers, general information portals, national initiatives
and certification authorities in the field of e-invoicing in Europe. These organizations have to add clear and
brief information about their contribution to e-invoicing.
The information given must not be a consumer advertisement or promotion of products or services. This fact
will be carefully watched by the technical editor and the responsible Country Information Manager.
Organizations have the possibility to self-enlist:
The opt-in function guarantees that the entered information is not published immediately on the website.
After the enlisting form is filled in and the data is submitted, the data set will be stored in the database and it
will be scanned by a Country Information Manager who has the possibility to publish the data or to delete the
entry.
The E-Invoice Gateway offers a reminder service:
If organizations accept this service by enabling a check box, they will be periodically reminded to update their
data on the platform. If no update has been done after the time period of year the organization will be deleted
from the database.
The update service is sending an email to the email address in the entry with a link to the edit section of the
website.
This link is generated with a hash-code and is valid for 24 hours. Due to this mechanism no user accounts
for the organizations have to be administered which reduces maintenance efforts.
3.2 Establishing a lead person for each country
Experts and mentors who are willing to act as supporters voluntarily for this workshop’s efforts are listed on
the website. They are called the Country Information Manager10 (CIM). Goals of the effort in bringing CIMs
on the web platform are:
• Present a native speaking contact for requests;
• Present a lead person (an expert) in the area of e-invoicing in the specific country.
The tasks of the CIM in detail are:
• Identifying activities/companies/organizations in the field of e-invoicing in their own country and to
inform those parties about this European-wide non-commercial activity,
• Adding country related information about technical, legal and organizational aspects of e-invoicing of
their own country,
• Review the content about country related information on a regular basis,
• Review and publish or reject organizations which enlist on the platform,
• Inform about the mission of the platform (native speaking contact for requests of own country) in
case someone needs more information about this CEN/ISSS activity,
• Mentorship (in terms of usability engineering aspects and continuous improvement process aspects).
3.3 Collecting country related information about technical, legal
and organizational aspects
This section of the E-Invoice Gateway11 will offer country related information: A short executive summary
shall provide a good overview about the current situation.
10 CIM, http://www.e-invoice-gateway.net/organisations/cims/
10
11. CWA 16046:2009 (E)
Additional information about technical, legal and organizational aspects are either uploaded or linked. The
Country Information Manager is responsible for the content and will review the content on a regular basis.
3.4 Offering a web based knowledge management tool
This process supports all workgroups of the CEN/ISSS WS eINV2 in collaborating, publishing and getting
response from the community. Due to the fact that every workgroup of the CEN/ISSS WS eINV2 has its own
way of working on their tasks the technology aspects differ.
The following technical implementations on the website have been established:
• Implementation of a upload section for the e-invoicing Good Practice Guidelines (workgroup 2
subgroup 1)
• Implementation of an issue list, upload section and a response function on the website for
documents12 (workgroup 2 subgroup 2)
The content which is uploaded will be revised regularly by the responsible manager of the workgroup.
More applications which allow a more comprehensive interaction with users and stakeholders of the E-
Invoice-Gateway will be developed in a following step.
3.5 Building of a community of practice with the help of an
annual event
Establishing a community of practice and an annual call for papers, call for best practice and call for use
cases in the field of e-invoicing will help in collecting information for the e-invoicing community but also in
raising awareness for the topic. The results of this annual event will be published on the website and also in
form of a book.

3.6 Operation and maintenance
Due to the cause that the University of Applied Sciences CAMPUS 0213 department for IT and IT-
Marketing14 has a research focus on e-business and e-business related topics like e-invoicing the website
hosting and maintenance will be in done at the UAS CAMPUS 02 server farm.

3.7 Future scenario
As a first step the E-Invoice gateway was established to act as a one directional information platform in the
internet.
One must state that the goal of the efforts made in e-invoicing activities like the E-Invoice Gateway shall
minimize obstacles in doing e-invoicing also for SME. The platform will be operated until the Country
Information Managers come to an agreement where this platform is not longer needed.
Until this goal is reached the platform will in a second step be evolved to a more interactive media where
interaction with different stakeholders in the field of e-invoicing will be possible.
