Oracle ERP Cloud e-Invoicing
Electronic invoicing is becoming mandatory in Germany. Under the Growth Opportunities Act, businesses must accept electronic invoices from 1 January 2025. For B2B transactions, e-invoicing becomes mandatory on 1 January 2027. Formats that follow the European standard EN 16931, such as XRechnung or ZUGFeRD, qualify as electronic invoices. PDF invoices do not meet these requirements.
This means that Oracle ERP Cloud users must implement electronic invoicing processes within their system.
dbic e-Invoicing Solution for Oracle ERP Cloud
The dbic e-Invoice Oracle ERP Cloud package for Germany enables the creation of customer invoices and the capability to process supplier invoices WITHOUT being forced to register at Peppol or to subscribe to any other third-party service provider.
By leveraging the standard functionality and adding a feature to manage supplier invoices received via eMail, we enable e-Invoices on the buy-&-sell side without changing the end-user experience.

A modern digital invoice workflow replaces paper and manual processes with digital steps. Invoices are captured electronically, validated, approved, and processed within your Oracle ERP Cloud, and each step is documented to improve transparency and compliance.
