S/4 HANA Public Cloud Edition / Recieve E-Invoices

[LukasKuhn]

Hallo Experts,

i have a question regarding the ability to recieve e-invoices (for example X-Rechnung here in Germany) in the Public Cloud.
So far we have implemented the sending of X-Rechnung via Email in our TDD System, but what if the company wants to recieve an invoice from a supplier who also sends it from its Public Cloud System via Email (in the X-Rechnung format).
What is the Best Practice for this Scenario ? How can we import this supplier invoice (which is a XML-File) from the email and create it in the Public Cloud manually or even automatically ? 
SAP DRC doesnt seem to offer this functionality yet. Can we leverage Central Invoice Management or SAP Buisness Network ?
Thanks in advance for all suggestions.

Best regards
Lukas

Hi Lukas,

I apologize I am not familiar with X-Rechnung, however, this looks promising:

Processing Electronic Customer Invoices and Submitting Them Using E-Mail

Edit: sorry that link was for customer invoices, for supplier electronic invoices, please see:

Electronic Supplier Invoices

Generally, for receiving the supplier invoice, if you have it electronically on a share, or local file, you can utilize the app Upload Supplier Invoice in S/4HANA Cloud public edition (typically it expects a PDF but you can investigate support for XML) (https://fioriappslibrary.hana.ondemand.com/sap/fix/externalViewer/index.html#/detail/Apps('F2452')/S...

I did notice the Fiori app library references this app is associated with 1LE which is no longer available to new customers. I don't believe the app relies on 1LE however.

For import via email, CIM has a RPA bot that can bring in the supplier invoice from an email.

CIM supports the following document types: https://help.sap.com/docs/document-information-extraction/document-information-extraction/supported-...

I hope this helps
