How does this affect me?
The unified extensible e-invoicing integration framework extends the existing Electronic Invoicing service by introducing:
- A unified outbound and inbound document model (based on international standards such as UBL and PEPPOL).
- A standardized submission and response pipeline and API for e-invoicing documents and related statuses.
- A clear extensibility model that allows external ASPs, ISVs, Microsoft partners, and customers to implement their own integrations without requiring Microsoft to build or maintain provider-specific connectors.
This approach enables:
- Support for multiple service providers under a consistent integration model.
- Faster onboarding of new providers and markets.
- Reduced vendor lock-in for customers.
- Better alignment with country-specific regulatory requirements without Microsoft acting as an authorized e-invoicing service provider.
