European Electronic Invoicing

The Directive 2014/55/EU on electronic invoicing in public procurement requires Member States to ensure that by April 18, 2019, contracting authorities and entities receive and process electronic invoices in accordance with European technical standard EN 16931-1 “Semantic data model of the core elements of an electronic invoice.”

With 2024, several new states will make it necessary to send electronic invoices

Pomegranate will enable as early as 2019 to send invoices to all enabled European PAs via the PEPPOL infrastructure.

In Italy, Directive 2014/55/EU was transposed by Legislative Decree 148/2018 which provided the mechanisms for the SDI to adapt to the receipt of invoices in European formats and specified April 18, 2019 for contracting authorities and central contracting entities and April 18, 2020 for sub-central entities as the dates for the start of the obligation.
Foreign suppliers of Italian (and European in general) PAs can also use Pomegranate’s services.

How to bill:

– by uploading the invoices already in UBL format to the portal, which then sends them
– by uploading the invoices manually using a special web form (the easiest choice for those who do few invoices)
– by uploading the invoices in PDF format and using the XML conversion service (requires mapping the source PDF)
