Slovenia welcomes sending of eInvoices in European standard to public service providers since 1 June 2018 – we are ready!
In Slovenia, conducting business with eInvoices in public procurement is
now in accordance with the European Directive on Electronic Invoicing
in Public Procurement (2014/55/EU). Slovenia
is among leading countries in establishing conditions for eInvocing in
public procurement and thereby reliable actor in strengthening the EU
Digital Single Market.
In public procurement you can send
an e-Invoice to all Slovenian contracting authorities and to most
contracting entities in UBL 2.1 or UN/CEFACT CII, the two syntaxes
defined in the technical part of the European standard EN 16931. For
contracting entities which are budget users, such eInvoice will be
received through upgraded Access Point at the Public Payments
Administration of the Republic of Slovenia which will convert the
e-Invoice in UBL 2.1 or CEFACT CII syntax into national eSlog 2.0
syntax. eSlog 2.0 also represents an upgrade of the previous national
e-Invocing standard as it has been aligned with the core elements of the
semantic model of the EN 16931. Contracting entities which are not
budget users have the possibility to receive such e-Invoice trough a
newly established Access Point at enterprise ZZI d.o.o.
UBL 2.1
or CEFACT CII invoices can be send through AS4 or AS2 messaging protocol
to both Access Points and end receivers since they became part of the
European Commission's Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) eDelivery network
which uses AS4 messaging protocol as well as OpenPeppol network where
we use their AS2 messaging protocol.
The eInvoicing developments in Slovenia were financially supported by the EU through the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) instrument. Collective work of the Public
Payments Administration of the Republic of Slovenia, Chamber of
Commerce and Industry of Slovenia, enterprises ZZI d.o.o. and Mojdenar
IT d.o.o., and Centre for European Perspective, shows that digital innovation brings benefits to the public administration, enterprises and to the European citizens as well.
The ROSE Action concluded with the meeting of all 56 actors, involved in
the solution development. Consortium of partners from both public and
private sector is already preparing new steps towards effective EU
Digital Single Market.
