read today in ComputerWorld more news confirming the delay that is undergoing the final implementation of electronic invoicing in Spain.
The Law 56/2007 on Measures for Promoting the Information Society was set a deadline of January 1, 2011 for all English companies were required to bill electronically to state agencies. However, according to Maria del Valle Palma, director of AedocDigital
these deadlines are not being met because much of the public administration is not prepared to receive invoices.Moreover, according to Julio Olivares, president and founder of DocPath ,
a few months before the end of 2010 only 12% of English companies billed electronically. From this data, offered by the Ministry of Telecommunication and Information Society, has not been revived talk of deadlines and it stands to reason that the Administration has decided to scrap these days due to the complexity of the project. The situation is somewhat strange, since the obligation continues to exist, but the reality is that many companies are not yet ready to address this issue and the Government is aware of the situation, has decided to park the issue.
Distrust, investment capacity or lack of information are some of the causes of this delay. This contrasts, however, with studies showing that the implementation bill-e can reduce management costs, shipping, receiving and storage of invoices.
As discussed in our first article about bill-e, the options are very diverse: from adapting only the issue of sending invoices as PDF documents signed until the adoption of standard format e-bill to integrate both the issuance and receipt of invoices to ERP.
SAP B1 and bill-e
SAP Business OneSince there are several options for working with electronic billing:
- As issuers:
- Through add-ons like SEMIC , allowing sales invoices sent by mail using PDF's signed digitlamente.
- Through the new tool EFM (Electronic File Manager), which allows you to export any document in the desired format after defining the appropriate templates.
- As recipients:
- Making the necessary changes in the ERP to incorporate automatically invoices from the supplier, either completely automatically or through an import process.
What surprises us is that, after analyzing the saving behavior of electronic invoicing, leaving paper should not be an obligation by a provision of state, but a key point in the company's strategy to improve the efficiency of management.
