Its purpose is to grant governments better visibility into transactions via digital reporting to ensure tax compliance.  E-invoices are created in a predefined structured data format. Designed for digital transmission and formatted for machine reading, e-invoices usually don't have a convenient visual presentation, but can be rendered for viewing. As e-invoicing gradually becomes mandatory in the EU, Precoro offers a way to process e-invoices and incorporate them into your established workflow. ### How to Process E-Invoices with Precoro 💡 **Please note:** To enable e-invoicing, turn on the **E-invoicing** setting in your Intelligent AP Automation Configuration. Once the feature is activated, Precoro will recognize e-invoices. E-Invoicing in Precoro is available for countries listed in [this section](https://help.precoro.com/how-to-process-e-invoices-under-eu-regulations#by-country). #### Adding Documents to AP Inbox There are three ways to add e-invoices to your AP Inbox, similar to documents for processing with Intelligent AP Automation: 1. Send the document as an email attachment to the dedicated Precoro inbox email. To get the address, open the [AP Inbox](https://app.precoro.com/ap/inbox) page ([AP Inbox](https://app.precoro.us/ap/inbox) for precoro.us) and click Upload Through Email. 2. Click Upload attachment on the AP Inbox page to add the document manually. 3. Send the document via API as explained in the [API documentation](https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/6493532/2sBXijKsRj#f6266366-d2e5-4646-8c78-0393431db3bb).

These documents are displayed with the E-Invoice type.

Take a look at the e-invoice processing order: 1. Once you’ve uploaded the attachment, it obtains the Processing status. 2. Precoro uses a custom algorithm to extract data, and the attachment obtains the Draft status. 3. After that, the invoice proceeds to the same steps as regular AP Inbox documents: it is [matched with AI](https://help.precoro.com/ai-powered-invoice-to-po-matching-in-precoro?hsLang=en), auto-created, or kept as a Draft awaiting your action. Since e-invoices are designed for machine reading, we generate a PDF file with the extracted data to help you easily check the details.
