SAP DRC

SAP DRC

One solution for all your e-invoicing needs

Electronic invoices: they’re a hot topic for organizations of all sizes around the world. In Belgium, for example, sending B2B e-invoices will become mandatory in January 2026. And the ViDA proposal (VAT in the Digital Age) aims to enforce e-invoicing for all cross-border B2B transactions in the EU in 2028. While invoicing formats may differ per country, the goal is the same: control business transactions to further digitalize the economy, increase efficiency, and prevent tax evasion.

Amid this e-invoicing frenzy, SAP users don’t need to worry. SAP DRC (Document and Reporting Compliance) is a centralized, standardized solution for e-documentation management – both incoming and outgoing documents – from creation to submission and retrieval. That includes both real-time reporting (the focus of this page: invoices, purchase orders, etc.) and periodic reporting (e.g., monthly VAT returns).

Thanks to its global coverage, the platform takes care of the e-invoicing complexities for every country you serve, regardless of its formatting requirements. Whichever e-document you need to communicate to the authorities or other relevant parties, you will do so in complete compliance.

a single source of truth for all your e-invoicing management?

SAP DRC: three key pillars

E-invoicing: a wealth of benefits

  • Compliance: Meet your legal requirements for e-invoicing – fines will impact both your finances and your employer branding.
  • Good for your budget: Say goodbye to all printing and postage costs of your traditional invoices. And since e-invoices can’t get lost on a messy desk or in a trash can, you don’t need to send costly follow-up invoices or reminders by mail.
  • Increased efficiency: Automated invoicing diminishes the risk of errors and the time spent on administrative tasks, which streamlines your internal workflows.
  • Good for the planet: Switching to e-invoices promotes your sustainability, as it (considerably) reduces your paper consumption.

SAP DRC and Peppol

Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement Online) is an international standard for e-invoicing, initiated by the European Commission. With the Peppol specifications, (government) organizations can send electronic documents abroad in a standardized format.

SAP DRC is a certified Peppol Access Point, but also boasts global coverage of your e-documentation management. As a result, it will support a variety of other service providers as well.

First things first: how do you get started?

  1. Check your legal requirements: In which countries is your organization active? Those will heavily influence your requirements for e-invoicing and statutory reporting.
  2. Choose your certified service providers: While SAP DRC is a Peppol certified service provider, you can also select other (local) service providers, if they better suit your needs.
  3. Decide on the scope: Would you like to cover your outgoing workflows only? Or do you need support for your incoming e-documentation as well? And which automation solution would you prefer to process those?
