Supplier Enablement

Supplier Enablement – eInvoices – that didn’t hurt!

It can be a shock for a supplier to be told by their customer that they need to stop sending paper invoices and start sending electronic invoices as XML documents.

What if you don’t have the systems to generate XML documents?

No problem, can your systems generate CSV (comma-separated value) files? Even if you don’t know the answer it will usually be YES.

CSV files can be converted to XML and there you have it – electronic invoices in the format required by your customers.

Don’t break the law. HMRC Information Notice 700/63 is essential reading if you intend to commence eInvoicing. In particular you should know that the following rule has the force of law: If you intend to begin invoicing electronically after 1 January 2004 then you must let HMRC know so within 30 days of beginning to do so.
