Why should you use this standard? The adoption of e-invoicing is bringing significant economic benefits. According to The European Commission the move from paper to e-invoices is expected to generate savings of €240bn over a six-year period and will become the predominant method of invoicing in Europe by 2020. This European standard establishes a semantic data model for the core elements of an electronic invoice and will help organizations in the private and the public sectors undertake public procurement invoicing. It may also be used for invoicing between private sector enterprises. This part of the standard consists of a technical specification covering each element in the semantic model, (including sub-elements or supplementary components such as identification scheme identifiers). It defines which element in the syntax is to be used to contain its information contents. Any mismatches between semantics, format, cardinality or structure are indicated.
