Goal and impact

The aim is to be able to receive and automatically process e-invoices using E-Connect. The automated processing of incoming invoices provides efficiency benefits, error probability is reduced and invoices are checked on various aspects.The impact on citizens is minimal because a citizen does not send an invoice.The impact on businesses is minimal, invoices are automatically checked. It checks whether all mandatory details are included on the invoice, is the addressing correct, has the invoice number occurred before and is the information on the invoice correct. If an invoice fails, the financial administration of the Municipality of Asten is notified.

Considerations

Invoice processing is faster and there is already control at the gate through the use of the algorithm. This minimises the risk of duplicate invoices, incorrect invoices and ghost invoices.

Human intervention

Read-in invoices are prepared in the administration, these invoices are checked by people for content and released if necessary.

Risk management

Minimal risk, content controlled by people.

Legal basis

EU legislation for e-invoicing (directive 2014/55/EU)

Technical design

1. Recognising and reading invoice data

2. Checking and validating invoice data, only correct invoices are validated by the system for the next step.

3. Converting invoices

4. Export to the administrative system. If an invoice is not correct, the financial administration of the Municipality of Asten receives a message and the invoice is stopped. E.Connect is the Technical operation between two suppliers.
