Frequently Asked Questions ECI M1 ERP E-Invoicing South Africa
How Can ECI M1 Support E-Invoicing in South Africa?
ECI M1 billing data can be connected with an external electronic invoice processing layer to organize customer, product, tax, transaction, and invoice information.

What ECI M1 Data Can Be Used for Electronic Invoices?
Relevant ECI M1 information may include customer details, VAT identifiers, invoice numbers, transaction dates, product descriptions, quantities, values, tax amounts, shipment references, and payment information.
