E-invoice integration from ONESOURCE Pagero and Oracle

As global regulatory requirements for electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) become more stringent, international companies are feeling the pressure to keep up. Europe, in particular, is advancing with initiatives like the value-added tax (VAT) in the digital age (ViDA), which aims to modernize VAT systems to align with the digital economy.

This is part of a broader trend where regions like Latin America and emerging markets are mandating businesses to send and receive e-invoices that meet evolving legal standards. These mandates are complex and fast-changing, with each country adapting one of five mandate archetypes to suit its unique geopolitical and legislative agenda. Non-compliance is not an option, as it can lead to non-payment of invoices and significant penalties.

According to a recent report, e-invoicing is growing by 28% annually worldwide, and over 110 countries have existing or pending e-document regulations. Thus, staying informed about developments like ViDA is crucial for businesses to navigate these changes successfully.

A unique solution for today’s most pressing compliance challenges 

Thomson Reuters ONESOURCE Pagero and Oracle have teamed up to deliver a unique solution for today’s most pressing compliance challenges. They have created a pre-built, embedded e-invoicing integration that eliminates the need for traditional, time-consuming enterprise resource planning (ERP) connections. This solution is tailor-made for organizations already using Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), especially those operating in countries with current or upcoming e-invoicing mandates. Oracle customers can activate ONEOURCE Pagero’s industry-leading platform directly from Oracle Cloud ERP and send and receive compliant e-invoices with just a few configuration steps.

This partnership leverages Oracle’s business-to-business (B2B) technology platform. By working closely with Oracle’s product and technology teams, ONESOURCE Pagero jointly delivers best-in-class invoicing compliance natively within Oracle Cloud ERP. This delivers customers a seamless experience with minimal to no implementation effort for the integration and instant access to a fully compliant solution.

A simpler, smarter architecture

Oracle customers now can simplify their integration processes with the introduction of the new B2B integration by ONESOURCE Pagero. This pre-built solution is designed to manage complex invoicing scenarios, such as self-billing and corrective invoices, without extensive customizations. It helps ensure compliant e-invoicing by accommodating country-specific formats, specialized data fields, and various document types. As a result, customers can enjoy a streamlined experience without combining multiple tools or managing additional integrations.

Deep functional coverage and global reach

ONESOURCE Pagero’s functional breadth is one of its most significant differentiators. While some providers claim to support a wide range of countries, many rely on partner arrangements or loosely connected systems that fail to deliver a cohesive experience. In contrast, ONESOURCE Pagero is built on a cloud-native, microservices architecture designed for scale, speed, and resilience. Major advantages include:

1. Unified coverage across countries, document types, and regulatory formats.

ONESOURCE Pagero standardizes global e-invoicing compliance, supporting regulations in more than 80 countries. It automatically formats documents to meet government requirements, streamlining compliance and reducing risk. This eliminates the need for region-specific systems or manual workarounds. Whether you’re in Germany, Brazil, or India, ONESOURCE Pagero ensures the correct formats, fields, and workflows are applied automatically.

2. Support for both AP (accounts payable) and AR (accounts receivable) e-invoicing flows.

True end-to-end compliance requires coverage on both sides of the invoicing equation. ONESOURCE Pagero provides robust support for both inbound AP and outbound AR e-invoice processing, allowing businesses to send, receive, and reconcile e-invoices within a single solution. This dual-flow functionality simplifies operations, improves visibility, and ensures that organizations can meet both supplier and buyer compliance obligations from one platform.

3. Advanced automation, including invoice enrichment, validation, and audit.

Manual review of invoices is resource-intensive and prone to error. ONESOURCE Pagero reduces this burden by using intelligent automation features that enrich invoices with missing data, validate content against country-specific rules, and flag discrepancies before submission. Built-in audit trails further support transparency and traceability.

4. Direct access to a business network of 14 million entities, providing a smooth exchange of compliant documents.

ONESOURCE Pagero Network provides users with instant connectivity to over 14 million businesses worldwide, including buyers, suppliers, and partners. This extensive network includes both direct connections and interoperability agreements with other platforms. It facilitates the fast, secure, and compliant exchange of e-invoices and other business documents.

A modern solution with multiple benefits 

E-invoicing requirements rarely stay the same. Governments frequently revise formats, data fields, and timing expectations at a rapid pace. This creates an ongoing burden for corporate tax and IT departments, especially when their systems rely on older, more rigid integration frameworks.

ONESOURCE Pagero integrates with Oracle’s B2B, offering a more flexible and modern solution directly within Oracle Cloud ERP. As mandates change, the integrated solution evolves in lockstep, eliminating the need for companies to reimplement their e-invoicing solution. This results in fewer delays, minimal disruptions, and greater confidence in ongoing compliance.

The ONESOURCE Pagero and Oracle partnership introduces several key benefits that stand out in a crowded market of compliance solutions:

Accelerated time to value: Oracle Cloud ERP’s pre-built integration eliminates the need to scope, build, and test custom connections. Users can get up and running much faster.
Improved risk management: A single integration point reduces the chance of failures across touchpoints, lowering operational risk.
Long-term resilience: As new mandates emerge and existing ones evolve, ONESOURCE Pagero’s close collaboration with Oracle ensures the integration stays current and capable.
