E-Invoicing in the United States
Market-driven approach with federal mandate through IPP platform
E-invoicing in the U.S. is evolving through public-private cooperation rather than mandate. The federal government requires e-invoices through IPP, but B2B remains voluntary. The E-Invoice Exchange Framework provides a national, interoperable model for invoice exchange similar to Peppol. Adoption is growing among corporates seeking automation.
