Invoice Despatch
Companies of all sizes and from all sectors can reduce their costs for printing, posting, enveloping and entering invoices, for example.
The use of qualified electronic signatures is the basic requirement for electronic invoicing. Only in this way can the invoices be used for sales tax deduction purposes (s. §14 Sales Tax Law and EU Invoice Directive).
AuthentiDate offers various products specifically tailored to the requirements for the signature on outgoing electronic invoices. Existing invoicing processes can thus be supplemented easily and quickly. The signatures can optionally be generated manually, semi-automatically of fully automatically, e.g., for high volumes of invoices.
e-Invoicing can also be handled via service providers. Please contact us if you are interested. Service providers can also use the AuthentiDate products for integrating the electronic invoice exchange into their own product range.
The new German Tax Bureaucracy Reduction Act came into effect on January 01, 2009.
It facilitates electronic invoicing in the area of EDI (Electronic Data Interchange). With immediate effect, summarized collective invoices are no longer required for EDI datasets (invoices). Up to now, the collective invoice could be transmitted in paper form or electronically, with qualified signature.
What does this mean for you as the invoice sender?
The legislator still requires that the authenticity of the origin and the integrity of the (EDI) data be assured.
The first choice in doing so is the qualified signature to secure your EDI datasets. The assurance of authenticity of origin and integrity are attributes of the qualified signature that are protected by law.
The new Tax Bureaucracy Reduction Act opens up the possibility for you to map all your invoicing processes in conformance with the law with a uniform, central signature solution.
All EDI datasets and other electronic invoices (e.g. PDF) can now be transmitted in conformance with the law using a single signature solution. That of course also applies to credit notes.
AuthentiDate is the inventor of the central mass signature and has been specialized in the area of invoice signatures for many years. Numerous national and international companies, such as Dow Chemical, EnBw, eventim, METRO Group, HAYS, John Deere, SABIC, SOLVAY, and many others, rely on the individually customizable signature solutions.
It goes without saying that the AuthentiDate signature solutions satisfy not only the German, but also the international, legal requirements.
