E-Invoice Clearance and Reporting Model


Overview

The NRS eInvoicing solution ensures that all invoices undergo validation and clearance by NRS before submission, ensuring tax compliance and accurate reporting.

Reporting Model (B2C)

In the reporting model, the supplier reports the e-invoice to NRS within 24 hours via an integrated e-invoicing solution with NRS-MBS.

Flow:

  1. Supplier creates invoice
  2. Invoice is transmitted via Access Point Provider
  3. NRS receives and validates the invoice
  4. Buyer can scan the QR Code for verification

Clearance Model (B2B)

In the clearance model, the e-invoice is automatically sent from the supplier's system to the buyer's system without any human interaction.

Flow:

  1. Supplier creates invoice
  2. Invoice goes through Supplier's Access Point
  3. NRS validates and stamps the invoice (fiscalization)
  4. Invoice is forwarded through Buyer's Access Point
  5. Buyer receives the validated invoice

Key Points

  • All invoices must be fiscalized (validated by NRS)
  • B2C uses the reporting model (supplier reports within 24 hours)
  • B2B uses the clearance model (real-time validation and forwarding)
  • Both models ensure tax compliance and accurate reporting
