E-invoicing in Energy Trading

ViDA is coming. Is your ETRM ready?

Most solutions digitise invoices. Fidectus ensures invoice data matches settlement before it becomes a problem.

 

Fidectus is the only post-trade platform that validates e-invoice data against confirmation and settlement, before a mismatch becomes a dispute.

E-invoicing is becoming mandatory across global markets as governments introduce real-time reporting to increase transparency and enforce compliance.

For energy trading firms, the challenge isn’t generating invoices - it’s ensuring that invoice data aligns with settlement and reconciliation. When it doesn’t, firms face delays, disputes, and operational risk across the post-trade lifecycle.

Fidectus brings these processes together in a single workflow, aligning invoice data with matching and settlement, and identifying discrepancies before they impact settlement.

Digital invoices. Manual workflows.

 

While many firms have adopted e-invoicing to meet regulatory mandates, their post-trade processes remain fragmented. Digital invoice data is only half the battle; settlement and reconciliation often remain manual.

This pushes complexity further downstream, where discrepancies become harder to detect and resolve. As volumes grow, so do the risks: delays, increased workload, and costly mismatches.

Fidectus closes this gap by aligning invoice data with matching, settlement, and reconciliation in a single workflow - eliminating manual intervention and reducing discrepancies before they impact settlement.

Where traditional e-invoicing falls short - and how Fidectus solves it

 

Traditional e-invoicing solutions focus on compliance. They validate invoice formats and reporting requirements but do not connect with trading workflows. The result is another disconnected system, increasing operational complexity instead of reducing it. The real issue is not the invoice itself, but how invoice data moves between systems.

Fidectus removes the gaps between invoicing, matching, and settlement. We align invoice data with confirmation matching, settlement, and reconciliation in one workflow, identifying discrepancies before they impact settlement. The result is a single, validated data flow across the process, reducing manual intervention and improving accuracy.

What makes Fidectus different - and why is matters

 

Compliance vendors (SAP DRC, Pagero, Sovos, Basware) digitise the invoice. ETRM add-ons reconcile the trade. Fidectus is the only platform that does both in one data flow - so an invoice mismatch is caught at confirmation, not at month-end close.

With Fidectus Global Energy Network (GEN):

- Identify up to 90% of discrepancies earlier by validating invoice and settlement data before reconciliation begins;

- Reduce reconciliation time by up to 50%, aligning confirmation, invoicing, and settlement in one workflow;

- Scale transaction volumes 2-3x without increasing back-office headcount.

As e-invoicing mandates roll out across Europe and transaction volumes increase, firms relying on manual processes will face growing operational pressure. With Fidectus, move beyond compliance, transforming e-invoicing into a driver of efficiency and growth.
