我们致电墨西哥的电子发票专家，Xavier Olivera，他是编辑花费很重要Mexico and Latin America, to share his insights on the Mexican and Latin America e-invoicing market.

花费很重要: Mexico is listed as an early adopter of e-invoicing solutions in the new Billentis report. When did you first see a major shift in Mexico to adopt e-invoicing solutions? And, what were some of the main drivers for companies in Mexico to switch to electronic invoicing?

Xavier Olivera.: It was not the companies that started this trend in Latin America, it was the governments instituting e-invoicing systems for tax purposes and audit controls. This proved to be highly profitable for the Mexican government, and so other countries in Latin America and around the globe are replicating the effort.

当然，公司也有利于这些强加的法规，现在正在利用电子形式发票，使流程更有效，提供更好的分析并带来更高的节省。

SM: Was there a large learning curve for Mexican countries when they were first required to implement e-invoicing solutions? Do you recall specific pain points these companies had with adoption?

XO:Yes, the Mexican government established a deadline companies needed to implement the solutions by — a deadline that had to be extended several times to allow companies to prepare their IT systems for e-invoicing adoption. Also, the government had to prepare and certify the companies that now handle the e-invoicing stamps, which validates the invoices. Still, it was a very fast implementation for a country, lasting maybe a couple of years. The pain points were felt when companies were building new systems and preparing for these changes and incorporating the e-invoicing processes.

SM: Do you think e-invoicing adoption has been a success overall in Mexico and Latin America? Are companies and the government benefiting from the technology?

XO:Yes, it has been a great success, more so for the government than for the companies. I don't know if every company in the region is taking advantage of all the benefits the technology offers, or using the solutions to their full potential, however. I think some businesses still have some learning to do to realize the benefits e-invoicing can deliver to the company.

e-invoicin的SM:有独特的特征g solutions for the Mexican and Latin American market you can point out? The Billentis report points out some such as regular reporting to tax authorities in real time or on a monthly basis, imposed XML standards for tax authority clearance and the fact recipients have to validate an invoice was pre-approved by the tax administration.
