In Spain electronic invoicing is already mandatory for Public Administration entities and their suppliers— whether providing products or services. The government has now extended mandatory e‑invoicing to virtually all B2B and professional transactions.
Following approval of the “Ley Crea y Crece” (Create & Grow Act) on 19 Oct 2022: companies billing over €8M yearly have one year to comply; smaller companies have two. Implementing an electronic invoicing generation system is therefore strategic.
What is an electronic invoicing system?
It’s a tool that creates, sends and manages invoices in a structured digital format. Unlike paper invoices, e‑invoices are compliant digital documents meeting fiscal & legal requirements and can be transmitted, validated and stored securely.
Why do you need one?
If you operate in Spain or interact with Spanish public bodies you must integrate with the FACe platform. Key reasons:
- Legal compliance: Since 15 Jan 2015 invoices to public administrations must be electronic via a general entry point (e.g. FACe). Lack of compatibility risks delays or sanctions.
- Agility & efficiency: Eliminates paper handling; reduces cycle time across submission, validation and payment. FACe integration ensures fluid internal processing.
- Security & traceability: Platforms like FACe keep audit trails, preventing loss, unauthorised changes or repudiation while preserving integrity & authenticity.
- Error reduction: Standardisation + automation lowers human error from creation through reconciliation.
- Cost saving: Less paper, postage, storage and manual processing cost on both sides.
- Sustainability: Reduces material usage and physical logistics footprint.
- Real‑time status visibility: Track invoice state anytime for better cashflow planning and decision‑making.
- Interoperability: FACe connects multiple administrations— one integration reaches many entities.
