Prepare for Mandatory E-Invoicing by 2026 – Is Your Dynamics NAV/Business Central Ready?
The EU regulations on mandatory e-invoicing are rapidly approaching, signaling a significant change in how businesses across Europe manage invoicing. E-invoicing, or electronic invoicing, involves sending invoices in a structured digital format directly between businesses and government systems. This process ensures compliance with legal requirements, improves accuracy, and reduces the manual workload often associated with traditional invoicing.
While deadlines may seem far away (January 2026), starting preparations now offers businesses several clear advantages.
