The eInvoicing solution is based on the existing Latvian national Secure Electronic Delivery Platform (eAddress).
The implementation of the CEF Project has enabled the development and deployment of the following components of the eInvoicing solution:
- eInvoicing integration in eAddress allowing for the secure transmission of eInvoices.
- eInvoicing section in www.latvija.gov.lv for preparation (manual completion of online form), display, submission (file upload in XML syntax) and receipt of eInvoices in eAddress.
- Public eInvoicing API library to ensure eInvoice transmission between different accounting systems. This will be demonstrated through Implementation of Public eInvoicing API library within ERP solution – Tildes Jumis.
- Connection with the Peppol network for the purpose of setting-up interoperability and connectivity between Latvia and other EU Member States. This Action used an existing Peppol Access Point AS4 profile by a Peppol service provider for setting up the Peppol gateway.
