e-Invoicing Poland
Poland is making progress in its project to massively introduce electronic invoicing between private companies. The use of B2B electronic invoicing is expected to be mandatory beginning in 2023.
The state of electronic invoicing in Europe's public administrations
Electronic invoicing has been mandatory between public administrations and their suppliers since April 18, 2020. This creates a competitive market that promotes interoperability and business between various companies.
Directive 2014/55/EU regulates e-Invoicing in public procurement and aims to reduce trade barriers arising from different national legal requirements and technical standards for e-Invoicing. Each EU member state has developed its own implementation of the law, adapting the electronic invoicing model to its own legislative framework.
EDICOM accredited as PEPPOL Access Point
In 2015, the OpenPEPPOL association certified EDICOM as a PEPPOL Access Point. In addition, EDICOM received the SMP certification for the implementation of its metadata publishing service.
EDICOM PEPPOL Access Point allows European administrations and public authorities to interact with their trading partners and providers through integrated solutions that automate the exchange of all types of electronic documents under the PEPPOL-XML standard.

B2B electronic invoicing continues to grow in Europe
As European Union countries consolidate electronic invoicing models in their public procurement processes, this system is spreading to the rest of the business world. These advances push companies to seek technological solutions that adapt to their economic resources and to the modification of internal processes.
In terms of legislation, B2B e-Invoicing in Europe is based on Directive 2010/45/EU. This establishes 3 methods to guarantee the integrity and authenticity of electronic document exchange.
Electronic data interchange
Electronic data interchange (EDI) guarantees commercial document tracing.
Electronic signatures
Apply advanced electronic signatures in the invoice through electronic certificates and secure signature methods.
Audit trails
Implement specific tracking and auditing processes for related documents (purchase orders, shipping notices, contracts, etc.).
Authenticity and integrity of all electronic invoices
The European eIDAS regulation (Regulation 910/2014) establishes a legal framework for electronic identification mechanisms. Thanks to EDICOM's certification as a qualified trust service provider, we provide electronic transactions with trust mechanisms that guarantee authenticity and integrity:

Connectivity module
In a B2G environment, the global e-Invoicing platform maintains data interchange through the protocols defined by each state agency for e-Invoicing regulations (web service, AS2, HTTPS, FTP, etc.).
Legal compliance module
Once the data structure of the message (electronic invoice, VAT declaration, etc.) has been validated, advanced cryptographic mechanisms are applied to guarantee its legal value, such as electronic signature, time stamping or other certificates.
PEPPOL compliance module
EDICOM is accredited as a PEPPOL Access Point. EDICOM connects through the PEPPOL network to any public service operating on this network to exchange electronic documents of any kind: invoices, orders, purchase orders, price catalogs, etc.
