E-Invoicing Serice

Certified E-Invoicing Without Change — One Global Process, Intelligent Automation, Any ERP.

E-Invoicing Service Summary

Certified E-Invoicing Without Changing Your Finance Processes

Mandatory e-invoicing is expanding rapidly across Europe and internationally, but mandates differ by country, network, reporting model and invoice format. Kanbina addresses this complexity through one AI-powered finance automation platform that combines certified global e-invoicing with Accounts Payable automation. Kanbina connects by API to B2Brouter, which provides the specialist e-invoicing infrastructure and compliant electronic exchange. All invoice transactions are brought into Kanbina for financial processing, controls and integration with any ERP.

One process, regardless of invoice channel

All invoice transactions, whether received by email/PDF or through Peppol and other supported e-invoicing networks, enter Kanbina and are processed through the same workflow. Kanbina connects to B2Brouter by API for incoming and outgoing e-invoices, while email/PDF invoices enter through Kanbina’s existing channels.

There is no switching between an email process and an e-invoicing process: Kanbina is the common processing layer.

If the same invoice is received through more than one channel, Kanbina detects the potential duplicate and presents it for controlled resolution, allowing the user to decide which invoice should be processed.

Coding, PO matching, exception handling, approvals, straight-through processing and any ERP posting remain the same regardless of source channel.

The Proposition

Business Outcome

The service is designed to make mandatory e-invoicing an extension of the customer’s existing finance operation rather than a separate technology programme.

B2Brouter provides the specialist network, compliance infrastructure and management of country mandates through its API connection with Kanbina.

Kanbina remains the common financial processing layer for every transaction, applying controls, workflows, AI automation, duplicate detection and straight-through processing before and after document exchange.

Any ERP Alignment

Kanbina provides the intelligent processing layer around any ERP, exchanging the master data and transactions required for invoice processing while preserving existing accounting controls and reporting.

Any ERP remains the financial system of record.

Peppol Compliance and Network Accreditation

Specialist connectivity combined with Kanbina financial processing

E-invoicing mandates vary significantly between jurisdictions. B2Brouter’s specialist infrastructure manages this regulatory and network complexity within the Kanbina service.

Certified and Secure Infrastructure

B2Brouter provides the certified e-invoicing infrastructure underpinning Kanbina’s e-invoicing service and connects to Kanbina through APIs for incoming and outgoing electronic invoice transactions.

B2Brouter is an Access Point and SMP Certified provider within the Peppol ecosystem and is registered within the Peppol Directory (see Appendix for details).

B2Brouter’s certified Access Point status demonstrates that it has met the applicable requirements for participation in the Peppol network.

Separate information-security certifications, including ISO 27001, provide additional assurance over the provider’s wider information-security management framework.

All transactions then enter Kanbina for AP or AR processing, workflow, controls and any ERP integration.

Customer Onboarding

Kanbina coordinates registration of participating legal entities using company identifiers, VAT registrations and country-specific information.

The infrastructure establishes the required electronic addressing and network registration.

Customers interact with Kanbina rather than having to manage multiple network providers.

The specialist infrastructure is updated as legislation, formats and networks evolve, reducing the need for customers to maintain country-specific integrations.

E-Invoice Standards Coverage

Supported Standards and Formats

Through the underlying infrastructure, Kanbina supports recognised e-invoicing standards and formats including:

Peppol BIS
UBL
Factur-X
XRechnung
ZUGFeRD
Relevant national formats

The infrastructure manages format transformation and network interoperability while Kanbina maintains one internal processing model.

Peppol BIS Billing 3.0

The service supports Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 through the underlying infrastructure.

This provides the business rules for compliant Peppol invoices and credit notes and supports interoperability between sending and receiving systems.

UBL and CII

The service supports PEPPOL BIS Billing 3.0, including UBL 2.1 and UN/CEFACT CII syntax bindings through the underlying e-invoicing infrastructure.

Country-specific formats including Factur-X, XRechnung and ZUGFeRD are also supported.

Validation and Transformation

Incoming and outgoing documents can be validated against the relevant network or national requirements and transformed as required for exchange.

This shields any ERP and finance users from the technical differences between individual e-invoicing formats.

Regulatory and Country Coverage

One global service adapted to local requirements

Countries use different e-invoicing models, including Peppol, clearance, real-time reporting, periodic reporting and hybrids.

The specialist infrastructure manages this variation while Kanbina retains a consistent finance process.

European Roadmap for Selected European Countries

Cross-Border and Future Regulatory Change

The infrastructure supports international and national invoice formats and cross-border exchange through recognised networks, while preserving a consistent Kanbina processing model.

The roadmap follows national mandates and EU developments including ViDA, with regulatory change handled through the infrastructure partnership and Kanbina investment focused on financial-process automation.

Compliance and Transformation

E-invoices received through the B2Brouter API feed directly into the same Kanbina financial workflows as email/PDF invoices.

There is no separate channel-switching process.

Kanbina applies the same validation, duplicate detection, coding, matching, exceptions, approvals and controls regardless of how the invoice arrived, making e-invoicing part of broader finance transformation rather than a standalone compliance project.

Multiple Regulatory Models

The service is designed for jurisdictions using:

Peppol exchange
Government clearance
Real-time reporting
Periodic reporting
Hybrid models

Country requirements are managed within the specialist infrastructure rather than embedded separately into each Kanbina customer implementation.

Managed Regulatory Change

Mandate dates, accepted formats, reporting requirements and delivery channels continue to change.

The partnership model allows these changes to be incorporated into the B2Brouter e-invoicing layer while its API connection continues to feed transactions into Kanbina.

Kanbina therefore maintains the same AP and AR processing model for the customer regardless of the underlying exchange channel.

Cross-Border Operations

For organisations operating across multiple legal entities or countries, this provides a common approach to invoice processing even where the underlying statutory exchange mechanism differs.

New countries can be added progressively as business requirements or mandates develop.
