Responsible use

Goal and impact

The aim is to be able to receive and automatically process e-invoices using Invoice Portal. Automated processing of incoming invoices provides efficiency benefits, chances of error are 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, whether the addressing is correct, whether the invoice number has occurred before and whether the information on the invoice is correct.

Considerations

Processing invoices is faster and there is already control at the gate due to the use of the algorithm. This reduces the chances of duplicate invoices, incorrect invoices and phantom invoices

Human intervention

Read-in invoices are transferred to the financial accounts, these invoices are checked by people for content and released if necessary.

Risk management

Minimal risk, content controlled by people.
