Two months after the extension of the obligation of the electronic invoicing a positive balance sheet can be drawn for the entire Public Administration with over 22 thousand public bodies who can only receive invoices in structured electronic format. There are now around 7,7 million electronic invoices already transmitted to the Exchange System and the reject rate, which is a useful indicator for measuring the effectiveness of the system, has gradually decreased to reach 10% of the total in month of May, compared to the values between 20% and 17% of the previous two months. The system is settling towards 50 million invoices that suppliers will send to their customers' Public Administrations each year. These are the results of the research of the Electronic Invoicing and Dematerialization Observatory of the School of Management of the Milan Polytechnic after the mandatory introduction of electronic invoicing in the PA.
But not all offices registered on the PA Index have already received at least one Electronic invoice. In fact, of the more than 53 active offices in Italy, around 80% (42) received at least one electronic invoice forwarded by the Exchange System, showing a significant growth margin of 20%. And above all many private companies are missing. As far as the supplier chapter is concerned, there is still a lot to do: of the two million suppliers, only 300 companies have already sent at least one electronic invoice. Almost all the companies with an ongoing relationship with the PA have probably already done so (which are only 100 in all), while the majority of "occasional" suppliers are still absent, mostly small or very small companies, with sporadic relationships and non-continuous.
