Connect the Requirements to a Practical Improvement

Use the learning to ask better questions, make informed decisions and work more confidently with finance, tax and technology colleagues.

1

Map

Identify your business scenario, relevant requirements and current invoice flow.

2

Read

Understand the invoice data, formats and fields the process needs.

3

Improve

Automate one workflow step, test it and start using it. Extend the automation once it works reliably, rather than attempting a big-bang change.

Translate time saved into an illustrative cost and ROI calculation. Adapt the assumptions and track backlogs, exceptions, controls and cash-flow improvements.

Practical Reference Materials

Return to mandate templates, written explainers, course notes and AP/AR text materials. Exact resources differ by course and are listed on the individual pages.

Stronger Controls, Less Fraud Exposure

Depending on the exchange model, authenticated networks, validation and controlled records can reduce opportunities for invoice alteration and certain AP fraud schemes. 

Benefits Beyond Speed

Improve supplier and customer experience, strengthen controls and support better cash-flow management.

Build in Stages, Keep Judgment

Use the course’s phased implementation timeline to choose the next workflow to automate. Test each stage, review exceptions and retain clear approval and payment responsibilities.

Questions Before You Choose

Should I start with compliance and formats, or AP and AR benefits?

Choose by your immediate responsibility.
  • Start with Mandates to understand applicable requirements and how to discover and verify them across countries.
  • Choose Formats and XML to understand electronic invoice data and create your first simple invoice.
  • Start with AP or AR if you have already implemented e-invoicing or are considering it and want greater efficiency, stronger controls or better cash-flow performance. The business benefits also make voluntary adoption worth evaluating, even without a mandate.
  • The displayed order is a useful progression, not a prerequisite chain.

What is the difference between an individual course and a program?

An individual course develops one focused capability. A program connects two complementary courses:
  • Mandates + Formats/XML, or
  • AP + AR automation and benefits

to cover a broader, more comprehensive area at a discounted combined price compared with buying the two courses separately. Choose the program that matches your goal and review its current price and inclusions.

Do I need technical knowledge to learn XML?

The Formats course starts with the basics, so XML can be your very first structured data format. Its readable tags help you connect familiar invoice information with the way a system organizes data—an accessible first step into the programmer’s world, without becoming a developer.

XML is a markup language used in many electronic-invoice formats, bank payment instructions and statements, and the internal files of modern Excel .xlsx workbooks. Learning to recognize elements, attributes and structure helps you read and understand these XML-based files, although their schemas and business rules differ.

Will I create an e-invoice myself?

Yes—you will create your very first simplified XML electronic invoice, with your name or business as the supplier and a fictitious customer. You will build the example yourself, connecting familiar invoice details with the XML structure.

The course introduces six free tools to help you create, inspect and visualize XML: a practical sneak peek into the programmer’s world. Your invoice is a learning example rather than a real transaction or submission-ready document. It uses simplified data and structure. Of course, real invoices must meet the applicable syntax, required data and local tax requirements.

Are AP and AR courses useful if compliance is not my main responsibility?

Absolutely. The AP and AR courses focus on operational and financial gains, whether e-invoicing is already in place, being planned or adopted voluntarily.

AP explores different levels of supplier-invoice automation: capturing and extracting data, creating ERP records, matching purchase orders, preparing accounting entries, posting and applying approval rules. You choose which steps to automate—including suitable approval and payment-run tasks—while people focus on exceptions, unusual cases and threshold breaches. We explain how to introduce each step carefully and retain appropriate checks and responsibilities.

Depending on the technical setup, authenticated exchange, validation and controlled invoice records can also reduce opportunities for alteration and certain AP invoice-fraud schemes. E-invoicing technology can support stronger controls throughout invoice processing—from capture and verification to approval and payment.

AR focuses on customer invoicing, collections, visibility and cash-flow benefits. Both courses help you evaluate the improvements and adapt a business case to your organization.

What is the difference between a PDF and a structured electronic invoice?

A normal PDF presents an invoice for a person to read. A structured electronic invoice provides defined data fields that systems can interpret and process. Hybrid formats combine a human-readable PDF with embedded structured data. The Formats course explains how these formats differ.

Will the Mandates course replace checking current local requirements?

The Mandates course gives you a practical method for discovering the scenarios and requirements relevant to your business, so you can work towards compliance in each country where you operate. This is particularly useful internationally, where scope, formats, exchange models and reporting obligations differ.

Use the course’s explanations, resources and mandate template to identify what applies and organize your findings. Because rules and dates change, verify current official requirements for your entity and transactions, and obtain specialist tax or legal advice where needed. The training supports that work rather than replacing a local compliance review.

Do these courses implement an e-invoicing system for me?

You will build understanding you can use in a real implementation. In the Formats course, creating a simplified XML invoice helps you recognize the structure and fields when you later inspect a production e-invoice. Mandates helps you identify requirements, while AP and AR help you choose and evaluate workflow improvements.

The training is not an ERP installation, a provider subscription or a complete implementation service. You still need the appropriate systems, provider setup, configuration and validation for your business. The learning helps you frame those needs and work more confidently with the people implementing them.

What practical resources will I take away?

Resources differ by course.
  • Mandates includes written explainers, course notes and a pre-filled mandate template.
  • Formats includes written explainers, course notes and six free tools introduced for creating, inspecting and visualizing XML.
  • AP and AR include substantial text materials, slides and review/final questions, with phased implementation guidance and illustrative business-case calculations. 
Check each full page for the exact current inventory.

Are savings, faster collections or a particular ROI guaranteed?

The AP and AR courses show you how to build a realistic business case rather than rely on a headline promise. They present a phased implementation timeline: automate a workflow step, test it, put it into use and confirm it works reliably before moving to the next stage.

Worked examples translate time saved into costs and ROI that you can adapt and present to management. They also consider wider benefits, including a smaller backlog of unprocessed invoices, stronger controls and better cash-flow information. The figures are illustrative, not guaranteed results: your baseline, invoice mix, systems, controls, adoption and implementation choices determine the outcome.

Do the courses offer CPE/CPD credits and a certificate?

Check the individual course or program page for its current credit information, learning-time basis and completion requirements. The AP and AR courses each have 4.5 CPE/CPD credits. Recognition and the correct treatment depend on your professional body, employer and jurisdiction.

How does access work, and can my company buy several seats?

The current offers provide lifetime access to the purchased course or the courses listed in the purchased program. Do not assume that a program includes all four courses or future separately sold products. Check the individual sales page and checkout for exact materials, update provisions, tax and refund terms.
