Intercompany E-Invoicing

Intercompany e-invoicing: electronic invoices are the future within companies

Why Intercompany E-Invoicing?

Businesses with several affiliated companies face the challenge of correctly allocating internal services, flows of goods and cost sharing. This intercompany accounting is essential for transparent and tax-compliant accounting. Until now, traditional invoices were often exchanged between group companies and posted manually – a time-consuming and error-prone process.

The Growth Opportunities Act 2027 will fundamentally change this: Intercompany invoices must also be created and processed as e-invoices in future. Companies are therefore required to convert their invoicing processes to structured, electronic formats such as XRechnung or ZUGFERD in order to remain legally compliant and avoid penalties.

This also affects SAP systems, as IDoc transfers in intercompany billing will also be phased out from 2027.

Eine effiziente und automatisierte Lösung für die Intercompany E-Rechnung ist daher unerlässlich.

What options are available for intercompany e-invoices?

From 2027, intercompany invoices must also be available as e-invoices in a structured format. Companies face the challenge of adapting their processes accordingly. EPO Consulting offers two solutions to fulfil the new legal requirements:

Option 1: Conversion to e-invoices directly in UBL XML format in SAP inbound and outbound

Companies that want to convert their invoice processes to structured e-invoices can use our solution to automatically create UBL invoices. To this end, we have developed an outgoing invoice ledger for the creation and an incoming invoice ledger for the processing of e-invoices. This allows intercompany invoices to be efficiently managed, processed and archived in accordance with GoBD guidelines thanks to EPO Consulting solutions in the ECM area, which were also developed in-house

Option 2: IDOC-based process with visualisation & storage in UBL XML

If you want to retain your existing IDOC-based invoice processing, you can use our EPO e-invoice viewer as a legally compliant solution. According to the law, IDOCs may still be used in principle, but they must be converted into the UBL XML format. Our viewer handles this conversion and enables the correct display, storage and archiving of e-invoices in accordance with the Growth Opportunities Act 2027.

A major advantage of our solution is that no provider is required, as all outgoing and incoming invoices are processed in SAP.

With these two options, companies remain flexible and can choose the route that best suits their existing processes.
