A while ago we discussed some myths and facts on PDF einvoicing. PDF is becoming the predominant form of einvoicing (in the EU that is). However some stakeholders still state that PDf invoicing is not e-invoicing. Richard Manson from CloudTrade restarts the discussion on Peter Loughlin’s site: Purchasing Insite.
Richard states: “As machine generated text PDFs represent the majority of PDF invoices flying between organisations, the question then must be asked: what is the difference between a solutionthat maps an XML or EDI document, to a solution that maps invoice data carried in a PDF into “…a format that can be entered (integrated) into the buyer’s Account Payable (AP) system? There isn’t any. So why do we still hear ‘pdf invoicing is not real e-invoicing?“
