Automating E-Invoicing with Direct Network Connectivity

Electronic invoicing is no longer optional - in many regions, it’s a legal requirement. From the EU’s EN 16931 standard to global frameworks such as PEPPOL, businesses must not only generate invoices in specific formats but also deliver them through approved networks. For organisations running ERP systems like Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, meeting these mandates has often meant costly integrations, middleware, or manual rework to stay compliant.

The Challenge: Complex E-Invoicing Integrations

Without native connectivity, companies have traditionally relied on third-party middleware or custom integrations to send invoices via networks such as PEPPOL. Each layer of technology adds cost, slows down processes, and increases the risk of errors. Manual workarounds only make the situation worse, creating bottlenecks in billing and compliance. The result is delayed payments, frustrated customers, and greater exposure to fines or audit failures.

The Lasernet Approach: Direct Network Connectivity

Lasernet removes the complexity by providing direct connections to e-invoicing networks, including PEPPOL. Invoices are generated in the required compliant format straight from ERP, with no middleware in between. Business rules automatically adapt invoices to meet local standards and customer-specific requirements. Once generated, invoices are transmitted securely to the appropriate network - ensuring compliance from the very first step.

Why It Matters

The benefits are clear:
  • Compliance: invoices always meet regional and international standards such as PEPPOL BIS or XRechnung.
  • Efficiency: eliminating middleware reduces technical overhead and manual rework.
  • Cash flow: compliant invoices are delivered faster, accelerating approval and payment cycles.

Seamless E-Invoicing

By embedding direct connectivity into the invoicing process, Lasernet transforms a complex compliance challenge into a simple, automated workflow. Businesses can reduce costs, eliminate errors, and keep cash flow moving - while remaining fully aligned with evolving global regulations.
