What if I only receive invoices and do not issue them?
Short answer
Prepare the receiving side of the process: technical receipt, validation, internal approval, accounting hand-off and compliant archiving. Not issuing invoices does not by itself remove an obligation to be able to receive e-invoice where the statutory conditions for receipt are met.
Where will the document come from?
It must be clear who receives the XML and who sees it.
Readable preview
The accountant and approver need to read the invoice without XML knowledge.
Internal flow
Physical control, accounting and payment should have status.
Original XML
A PDF is not sufficient as a single evidence file.
Conclusion
If you only receive invoices, prepare the receipt, validation, approval and archiving workflow.
