From January to October this year, 4,630,681 e-invoices were submitted via FACe, the general point of entry to the Administration. The data from the Ministry of Finance and Public Administration (MINHAP) shows evidence of gradual consolidation of e-billing technology in Spanish companies.

One of the main e-billing service providers in Europe EDICOM, provided analysis that its platform handled 2287463 e-invoices issued to the different Spanish administrations. The figure includes bills submitted via the FACe entry point (general point of entry for e-invoicing managed by the General State Administration), as well as those received through entry points created ad-hoc by some administrations.

"Spanish legislation allows public administrations to manage their bills through FACe or create their own points of entry. Both options are possible and, in many cases, complementary," explains Miguel Soler, EDICOM Facturae platform Product Manager.

"In fact, of all the e-invoices that have been issued through EDICOM’s Facturae platform, 45% were forwarded to own points. The rest account for 30% of all documents registered by FACe in this period."
