E-invoicing in Energy Trading
ViDA is coming. Is your ETRM ready?
Aligned invoice data. Fewer discrepancies.
E-invoicing is becoming mandatory across many 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.
As mandates expand, many firms are discovering that compliance alone does not resolve these challenges.
Disconnected systems continue to create inefficiencies, pushing complexity further downstream into reconciliation and settlement.
Fidectus connects e-invoicing with confirmation matching and settlement, enabling energy companies to identify discrepancies earlier and reduce reconciliation effort across the post-trade lifecycle.
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.

E-invoicing and ViDA: How Europe's Energy Trading Industry is Preparing with EFET's eSM
[Previously recorded webinar] Missed the live session? Watch the recording of our webinar “E-invoicing and ViDA: How Europe’s Energy Trading Industry Is Preparing with EFET’s eSM.” Featuring insights from industry participants including Harbour Energy, EWE, and Energy Traders Europe, the session covers ViDA’s impact on e-invoicing and OTC energy trading, key timelines across Europe, and how eSM supports future-ready post-trade processes.
“Our partnership with Fidectus is the next logical step in providing our customers with innovative and efficient solutions. By integrating Fidectus, we are not just offering another tool but enabling a true digital transformation of back-office processes.”
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 consistent data across confirmation, invoicing, and settlement processes, reducing manual intervention and improving accuracy.

No Growth in OTC without post-trade going digital
[Previously recorded webinar] Discover how digital innovation in post-trade processes, specifically the shift toward mandatory e-invoicing, is transforming the OTC market.
This session dives into new regulatory e-invoicing requirements and their critical link to settlements (eSM), alongside a broader look at streamlining REMIT (II) reporting and confirmations. With key deadlines approaching, learn how navigating the transition to digital post-trade operations ensures your firm stays ahead of regulatory shifts while maintaining a competitive edge.
What makes Fidectus different - and why this matters.
Compliance vendors (SAP DRC, Pagero, Sovos, Basware) digitise the invoice. ETRM add-ons reconcile the trade. Fidectus combines confirmation matching, invoicing, and settlement capabilities on one platform - so an invoice mismatch is caught at confirmation, not at month-end close.
With Fidectus Global Energy Network (GEN):
- Identify discrepancies earlier by validating invoice and settlement data before reconciliation begins;
- Reduce reconciliation effort by aligning confirmation, invoicing, and settlement in one workflow;
- Scale transaction volumes without increasing operational complexity.
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.
