Scope of services

Do you also spend a lot of time for opening your invoices, the forwarding to the appropriate department and the filing?

Within the framework of our e-solutions we are introducing the transmission of the invoices by e-mail, to insure that these steps can be taken most efficiently.

The advantages for the customer are obvious:

  • faster filing plus possibility to file automatically
  • convenient company-internal forwarding by e-mail
  • automatic processing by well structured attachment possible
  • reduction of processing costs (the opening, sorting, filing of the paper/invoices is not necessary)
  • environmentally-friendly and space-saving (no paper)
How does our no-charge service work?
The invoice is sent to you as a PDF by e-mail. The invoice looks like follow:
This PDF contains a legible demonstration of the volumes of the invoices. It is like paper format. Furthermore, you get the inspection certificate and a multidimensional bar code. This bar code contains the electronic signature and the details of the invoice. This is the real document. The bar code allows a new check of the signature anytime. In the PDF-document is imbedded a CSV-Data for the further electronic processing of the information. You can input this in the software of your accounting.
We are happy, to take this further step into the digital age together with you, which generates advantages in business processes on both sides. If you have any question regarding the dispatch of the invoices, please do not hesitate to contact your contact person in the sales department.
Best regards,
Your Böllhoff-Team

Signature

According to your local regulations you are obliged to keep invoices. To do so you have two options:

  • electronic filing of the pdf-file
  • printout and filing of all printed pages
Our service provider First Businesspost GmbH places the qualified signature on our behalf, checks afterwards for you and generates a signature-inspection certificate. We assume that this action will find your acceptance, as there are no costs involved for you.
If checking of the signature I necessary a further checkup of the signature is possible at any time. To do so either a pdf-file or the scanned bar code page gets transferred into an XML-file with the billing data and a new signature-inspection certificate. Our service provider offers this service free of charge for you.
