The supplier will be able to manually encode his invoices through a web form and submit them electronically to the customer, thus avoiding delays, printing and postage costs. The eProcurement platform e-PRIOR then sends them to the appropriate back office of the customer, where invoices are processed following the usual validation flow.
The platform's goal is to offer to the public administrations in the Member States a full -Invoicing solution, covering all of their suppliers: not only big companies connecting their own back-office systems to Open e-PRIOR installed at the public administration, but also SME and individuals, who will have the possibility to switch to eInvoicing without additional cost investment.

Background Information
Open e-PRIOR is developed and deployed by the European Commission to allow the exchange of structured eProcurement documents between the Commission and its suppliers. It is being developed under the IDABC programme and was initiated by Directorate-General for Internal Market (DG-MARKT) and Directorate-General for Informatics (DIGIT) of the European Commission.
Open e-PRIOR provides an opportunity for reusability of an open-source solution that has already been implemented at the Commission and which provides a secure platform for document exchange. This is an opportunity for sharing practical experiences and lessons learnt with the aim of accelerating uptake of eProcurement across Member States.
