General Concept

The invoice feature within procurement is a simplification of a regular invoicing system and is not meant to replace proper invoices.

Instead it allows your suppliers to inform you about the content of inbound invoices. On top, because the Procurement platforms presents invoices in a well definite structure via API, it allows you to analyse invoices and to optimize future orders.
