Receive e-invoices

An e-invoice is issued, sent and received in a predefined, structured electronic format (e.g. XML). In this way, invoices can be processed completely automatically and electronically from ERP to ERP or transferred digitally via an invoice portal. PostFinance offers e-invoices with the B2B e-invoice product.

Thanks to standardization and automation, receiving e-invoices comes with major benefits: you save time and money. There is no longer any need to enter and process invoice data manually, and you can continue processing accounts payable invoices in either a fully or semi-automated way. This allows you to benefit from the significant savings potential of e-invoicing. At the same time, all invoices are in your ERP and can be viewed later in your digital archive. Your payment transactions are carried out using existing processes, and it is very easy to track all actions thanks to electronic storage.

There are multiple requirements to meet in order to digitize accounts payable invoices. First of all, all relevant data and processes should be analysed and a good foundation with high data quality and quantity should be developed. This enables smooth and automatic processing of the invoices. It is also important your ERP has an interface to PostFinance in order to import and process invoices directly into your software.

If your ERP does not have an interface, you can use the eInvoicing portal to receive B2B e-invoices and to manage your data and settings independently. This is particularly ideal if you receive only a small number of digital invoices.

If you would like an interface to PostFinance or receive a larger amount of invoices, please contact your software manufacturer.

The eInvoicing portal makes receiving and managing your B2B e-invoices more straightforward. Simply register online and benefit from numerous self-service functions. For instance, you can search for, filter and analyse your bills based on various criteria, or manage your own B2B e-invoice settings. New customers can register for the service directly online.
