Electronic Invoice Explained: Simple Guide for Businesses

What Is an Electronic Invoice?

An electronic invoice is a digital invoice created, sent, received and processed in a structured format that software can read automatically. Unlike a PDF or scanned copy, an electronic invoice uses machine-readable data so it can move directly into billing or accounting systems without manual entry.
