A future is emerging where invoice processing will no longer be limited to a tactical back-office function within organizations. Customer experience is also gaining importance in both B2C and B2B relationships, particularly in electronic invoicing processes and their execution.

According to the IOFM's 2018 Future of Accounts Payable Study, it is anticipated that by 2021, 51% of paper invoices received by accounts payable departments will be eliminated through electronic processing. A survey by IOFM revealed that nearly a third of practitioners expect to eliminate 25 to 50 percent of paper invoices from suppliers in the near future. Automation of invoice processing provides accounts payable with new opportunities to approach the company strategically by offering value through rewards programs, early payment discounts, longer-term payment terms, and better expenditure control.

The adoption of e-invoicing in the European Union (EU), supported by legislation, has led to economic benefits, reduced manual work, decreased tax evasion, increased efficiency, and wider adoption of digital technology. E-invoicing has become a common format in Europe and is bringing benefits to countries. Consequently, many countries are implementing legislation for e-invoicing in B2G, B2B, and B2C transactions. For instance, France is preparing to implement mandatory B2B e-invoicing through the government system called Chorus Pro by the end of 2024. In Italy, it has been mandatory for businesses, industries, and individuals to use e-invoicing since 2019.

The demand for online invoices has surged in recent years, and it is expected to continue growing. By 2026, it is projected that spending on e-invoicing services will reach $20 billion. The market for online invoices is expanding rapidly due to the numerous advantages they offer. China introduced the E-Fapiao Program in 2023, a fully digitalized version of the e-invoicing system adopted from Taiwan. Several provinces in China will be able to issue fully digitalized e-fapiao to eligible taxpayers.
