it’s incredible that in 2026 the vast majority of invoices are handled by hand typing or at best OCRing fucking PDFs and when things get complicated (e.g. payment and VAT in different currencies! very common in cross border scenarios!) this gets imeasurably more miserable because your software can’t find the exchange rate field or wants the exchange rate in the inverse form from their invoice gives you or inumerable other corner cases

My business has received it’s first two electronic invoices and you cannot believe how unreasonably ecstatic I am at this fact You also cannot imagine how eager I am for the supplier who charge on a usage basis and hence have had to hand-enter the amount every month to get themselves on the e-invoicing bandwagon

@erincandescent@akko.erincandescent.net also I recall like Japan not having a 'reference' field for their electronic payments AT ALL so half of the employees in any company over there are permanently doing accounts receivable
