UBL is increasingly being considered as the successor of the PDF e-invoice as it yields sizeable benefits for both supplier and customers. And its use is expected to grow considerably the next few years as UBL e-invoicing is getting mandated in Europe. Other continents, like Australia and the North America’s are also considering UBL as the preferred successor of PDF and online e-invoicing.

To promote the adoption of UBL and the benefits of UBL e-invoicing, a free label has been developed that (1) allows organisations to communicate their ‘UBL Readiness’ to their respective customers and supplier, called: ‘UBL Ready’, and (2) provides support for organisations that want to implement UBL e-invoicing.

To become UBL Ready an organisation has to proof that it can either import the validated demo files of other UBL Ready participants, or produce a UBL+PDF e-invoice file that –after validation- can be imported by other UBL Ready participants. All in all, applicants only have to perform five or less steps to become UBL Ready!  This way UBL Ready promotes easy, free, flawless, seamless exchange and processing of e-invoices!
