CFO departments are seeing e-invoicing increasingly take priority , along with e-reporting requirements from local governments and tax authorities . Accounting teams must comply with specific legislation when sending and receiving electronic invoices . The new legislation will replace paper processes and reporting , as the EU and other regions trend towards a harmonised approach and centralised government databases to compare reported data .
Large enterprise finance teams process and pay thousands of invoices every week and they often face challenges relating to late payments to suppliers , duplicate invoices and even fraudulent payments .
Through the partnership , AP teams will have the potential to process invoices 80 % faster , reducing the average invoice processing time from 10 days to less than one day .
