Avalara - Automating the invoicing process

Automating your e-invoicing process

For a growing number of countries all over the world all sales invoice traffic is centralized via country specific Tax Authority systems. Depending on the applicable country mandate the communication includes an authorization step before transmitting the invoice to the final receiver.

The EDI interface between CERM MIS and Avalara’s e-invoicing solution provides a standardized solution to assure your company complies with global e-invoicing requirements.

• CERM – Avalare e-invoicing workflow
  
  The EDI interface applies to processing both sales and purchase invoices in the CERM MIS.
  
  CERM MIS Software creates and sends the sales invoices, including sales tax/VAT, to Avalara in a standardized UBL 2.1 format. Avalara handles the rest of the flow (sending e-invoice data to the relevant Tax Authority, passing the invoice to customer, ...) according to the country mandate and the applicable data flow.
  
  Incoming purchase invoices from suppliers are being requested from Avalara by the CERM MIS Software, whereupon Avalara returns an XML UBL 2.1 document that will be converted into a purchase invoice in the CERM MIS Software. Purchase orders are updated where possible.
