Eszámlázás

Eszámlázás, also known as e-invoicing or electronic invoicing, is the process of issuing and receiving invoices in a structured electronic format. This format allows for the automatic processing of invoice data by accounting systems. Unlike a scanned PDF or a simple image file of a paper invoice, an e-invoice is a data file that can be directly imported and processed by the recipient's software without manual data entry.

The adoption of eszámlázás is driven by its numerous benefits. It significantly reduces administrative costs associated with paper invoices, such as printing, postage, and manual handling. Automation leads to fewer errors, improved accuracy, and faster processing times, which can accelerate payment cycles and enhance cash flow. Furthermore, e-invoicing contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing paper consumption.

In many countries, governments are actively promoting or mandating e-invoicing for business transactions, especially between businesses and public administrations. This regulatory push aims to increase transparency, combat tax fraud, and streamline fiscal reporting. The specific technical standards and legal requirements for e-invoicing can vary by jurisdiction, but the core principle of structured electronic data exchange remains consistent. Businesses typically use specialized software or service providers to generate, send, and receive e-invoices, ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and enabling seamless integration with their existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems.
