BayWa Implements Comarch EDI to Meet the Upcoming B2G E-invoicing Obligation

In its agriculture, energy and construction segments, the internationally active BayWa AG Group has numerous business partners, the majority of whom are owned by the German government. In view of the obligation to exchange invoices electronically, which comes into force on 27 November 2020, BayWa has chosen the certified IT manufacturer Comarch as its service provider.

Comarch EDI enables BayWa to exchange invoices in a legally compliant manner with its mostly state-owned business partners, who are bound by the e-invoicing obligation. With Comarch EDI being a certified PEPPOL Access Point, direct electronic connection to the German e-billing platforms is made via PEPPOL. This includes conversion of the format of all invoices from existing IT systems to XRechnung and subjecting them to verification. Moreover, it provides a consistent protocol for communication with business partners.
