What changes for finance teams when eInvoicing becomes business as usual

Finance teams carry a lot of invisible stress. Late invoices. Missing details. Endless follow ups. And the quiet worry that something may have slipped through the cracks. When eInvoicing is set up properly, many of those day to day pressures ease. Not because finance teams stop caring, but because the process finally works the way it should.

Here’s what finance teams stop worrying about once eInvoicing is in place.

Missed or lost invoices

When invoices arrive as PDFs by email, or on paper, it’s easy for them to be missed. Finding them later can also take time, especially when inboxes are full and folders are inconsistent.

With eInvoicing, invoices are delivered system to system and land directly in your finance platform. There’s no searching through inboxes and no uncertainty about whether an invoice arrived. Finance teams can trust that every invoice is accounted for and visible.

Manual data entry errors

Any time manual input is involved, the risk of errors increases. Re keying invoice details for payment can lead to mistakes that cost time, money and confidence.

eInvoicing removes manual data entry altogether. Invoice data flows straight into your software, reducing errors and freeing your team to focus on higher value work.

Chasing up missing or incorrect invoice information

When an invoice arrives without the right information, it creates extra work. Someone needs to follow up with the supplier, wait for a correction, and then reprocess the invoice.

With MessageXchange, required fields and formatting rules can be enforced upfront for suppliers sending eInvoices. That means fewer incomplete invoices, less back and forth, less manual reviewing and smoother processing from the start.

Unpredictable payment cycles

Late payments often begin with slow or manual invoice handling. When invoices take time to arrive or require fixing, approvals and payments are delayed.

eInvoices arrive instantly and accurately. Approval workflows move faster and payment runs become more predictable. Finance teams can rely on their timelines, and suppliers notice the difference.

Less chasing. Less explaining. Less stress.

Invoice fraud and email-based risk

Email is one of the weakest links in the invoicing process. It’s easy to spoof, intercept or manipulate.

eInvoicing removes email from the process entirely. Invoices are exchanged through secure, verified networks like Peppol, reducing exposure to fraud and giving finance teams greater peace of mind.
