Electronic B2B invoicing via SDI

Your solution with efsta

Electronic B2B invoicing (e-invoicing) enables the exchange of electronic invoice documents between companies. In Italy, this form of invoicing has been mandatory since 2019 via the SDI system (Sistema di Interscambio). The SDI system ensures that invoices are issued, transmitted and received in a structured data format. This enables automatic and electronic processing in accordance with Italian regulations.

Challenges and problems with electronic B2B invoicing

The introduction and use of electronic B2B invoicing via the SDI system can be associated with various challenges:

  1. Complexity of legal regulations: Compliance with the detailed and often complex Italian invoicing regulations can be a challenge for companies, especially for international firms. It is important to always stay up to date with the legislation and ensure that all changes are implemented in a timely manner.
  2. Technical integration: The implementation of the SDI system and its integration into existing company systems requires technical know-how and can be time-consuming. Companies must ensure that their IT infrastructure is ready to meet the new requirements and make any necessary adjustments.
  3. Data format and interoperability: The SDI system requires a specific structured data format that may not be compatible with a company's existing formats and systems. This can lead to additional adjustment costs and integration efforts.
  4. Lack of standardization: Differences in the implementation and use of electronic invoices can lead to inconsistencies and difficulties in processing. It is crucial that all parties involved adhere to uniform standards to ensure a smooth process.
  5. Security concerns: The electronic transmission of sensitive data requires robust security measures to prevent data loss and unauthorized access. Companies must ensure that their systems meet the highest security standards in order to protect the integrity and confidentiality of the data.
