E-invoicing is here
Bottomline Technologies’ Transform program / solution is the tool you need to convert printed documents from text applications into formats required by the new legislation.
With the ability to communicate with different databases and different operating systems, the program can locate the files generated by the tax machine and retrieve additional data required for electronic transmission (eg. e-mail addresses) to your customers.
By using the advanced formatting features, it is easy to create electronic and printing documents to improve the image of your business. If you wish, these can also be personalized for each customer.
The result is a PDF or other file that can also be sent for print, if necessary. The electronic filing is also feasible, which allows individuals to eliminate production of file copies.
Access to copies is made through web interface much quicker and easier than physically searching in the archives.
According to current status of the Code of Books & Records, the PDF file itself is not a valid invoice, but must be accompanied by both a and b files created by the tax mechanism when printed. It is very easy for Transform program to locate these files in their storage space. All files are sent electronically to the customer.
To assist your recipient (customer), the creation of XML files that can be entered into the system without typing is possible. In case the new legislation for e-invoicing includes an XML standard, adaptation is a matter of few hours, not months.
Get ready for the future and update your invoicing process and communication with your customers!
