Send your electronic invoices to 100% of your customers regardless of their technological capabilities.
ERP Integration
Integration service with any ERP (SAP, MICROSOFT DYNAMICS, SAGE, ORACLE, etc.) for the extraction of the data required in the technical schema of the electronic invoice.
Data Mapping
Multi-standard data transformation module prepared for generating any invoice format (EDIFACT, Facturae, XML, UBL...). Including the format defined by the technical regulations of the B2B electronic invoicing system in Spain.
Format Validation
The solution activates invoice data validation mechanisms to verify that they contain the necessary information provided in the schemas defined for the exchange of electronic invoices in the B2B sector.
Sending Invoices
The solution identifies the recipient of the invoice for its delivery through specific channels (private network EDICOMNet, EDI gateway, https, sftp, x400, OFTP, AS2, AS4...) with traceability records, delivery confirmation, and processing. The delivery services also include specific solutions to send your invoices to customers without dedicated channels (email, publication on portals).

The evidence generated by the service, and the continuous reassurance of the integrity of the invoices by the trusted third party EDICOM, allow for the burden of proof to be reversed in any litigation with clients.

We offer you full visibility on the status acknowledgments of each invoice issued according to the technical specifications defined in the project.
If required, we can also integrate these ACKs (acknowledgments) into your management system.
Send Electronic Invoices to 100% of your customers

Your customers will be able to access the portal for free, where the invoices will be stored in their original electronic format, along with printed representations in PDF throughout their validity period.
Publication on Business@Mail
Every time you generate an invoice for a customer without a specific solution, we will process it and make it available on the EDICOM Business@Mail portal.

EDICOM's Supplier Portal allows for the integration of partners who do not have an e-Invoicing solution in Spain.

Sending orders
Purchase orders from your ERP system are published on the Supplier Portal as soon as they are registered.
Notification to the supplier
Suppliers are notified via email each time they receive a purchase order on the portal.
Access to the portal
Your suppliers access the portal with their username and password to view orders, as well as from links included in notifications.
Generation of invoices
Your suppliers self-generate invoices from the received orders, automating the document issuing process.
Invoice approval
Invoices processed on the portal are transferred to the electronic document approval service for validation by the relevant managers.
Integration into accounts payable
Finally, approved invoices are integrated into your ERP system, thus automating accounts payable management.
Automate the reception of all your electronic invoices
Electronic Invoicing between companies will soon be mandatory in Spain.

Frequently Asked Questions about B2B e-invoicing in Spain
EDICOM is in continuous contact with the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation for the development of the project promoted by the "Create and Grow" Law that regulates the issuance and receipt of electronic invoices between companies and self-employed professionals in Spain.
Here, we help you answer some of the most common questions.
When will the technical regulation of B2B e-invoicing in Spain be approved?
The regulation establishes a period of 6 months from the publication of the law to determine the technical requirements. It is expected to be approved in June/July but it depends on the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation.
What formats will be accepted for issuing electronic invoices?
Until the technical regulation is published, we will not know definitively which formats will be accepted. It is mentioned that the most used formats such as EDIFACT or FACTURAE will be maintained, but nothing has been defined yet.
Will B2B e-invoicing affect SII or Ticket BAI?
No. They are different processes and companies must comply with the different regulations that affect them.
When will B2B e-invoicing between companies be mandatory?
In 2024 and 2025, B2B e-invoicing in Spain will be mandatory depending on the implementation deadlines established according to the invoicing volume of companies set out in the "Create and Grow" Law.
What are the expected implementation deadlines?
For companies whose annual turnover exceeds 8 million euros, the implementation period is 1 year after approval of the technical regulation. For companies with a turnover of less than 8 million euros, the implementation period is extended to 2 years after the approval of the technical regulation.
Will the electronic invoice be for national, intracommunity and/or extracommunity clients?
No. It is only necessary to issue electronic invoices to a customer or supplier that is established in Spain or operates in Spain under the VAT registration.
