In order to more thoroughly approach compliance regulations and requirements in some countries, Tradeshift engages the services of expert consulting partners. 

Receipt of electronic invoicing in certain countries requires additional fees to address local third party services required by that jurisdiction.



'Clearance' means - In countries that have chosen the ‘clearance model’, the tax administration requires each invoice to be reported and authorized electronically by them before or during the trading parties exchange process.

'Inbound (AP) Clearance' refers to the process at the invoice receiver’s end for the validation of the e-invoice received with respect to integrity, authenticity, certificate trust and clearance.

'Outbound (AR) Clearance' refers to the process at the invoice issuer's end to communicate the invoice, in whole or as a subset or a reference to the invoice, to a tax administration-designated hosted service and to receive a predefined approval or confirmation message from that service as a precondition for the issuing, cancellation or correction of an invoice.

'Invoice Archiving' means - An on demand service for the long-term compliant storage of critical electronic data under the laws of the supported countries.

'Qualified Electronic Signature' means - An electronic signature that is compliant to EU Regulation No 910/2014 (eIDAS Regulation) for electronic transactions within the internal European market. It enables parties to verify the integrity and authenticity of signed electronic data exchange over long periods of time.

'Digital Signature' means - A digital signature guarantees the authenticity of an electronic document or message in digital communication and uses encryption techniques to provide proof of integrity of the signed data.
