# e-Invoicing in PANTHEON: how to issue and receive an e-invoice

> What an e-invoice is, why a PDF sent by e-mail is not one, what to set up in PANTHEON and how incoming invoices can be received without retyping.

**Short answer:** an e-invoice is an invoice in a structured electronic form that the recipient's system can process automatically. A PDF sent by e-mail is not an e-invoice. In PANTHEON you issue an invoice as before, and the program converts it into an e-invoice and sends it to an information intermediary, who delivers it to the recipient. Received e-invoices arrive the same way.

## The issuing flow

1. You issue the invoice in PANTHEON as before.
2. PANTHEON converts it into an e-invoice and sends it to the information intermediary.
3. The intermediary delivers it to the recipient and fiscalises it, and the status returns to PANTHEON.
4. Received e-invoices arrive the same way in PANTHEON.

## What you need

- a current version of PANTHEON with an update contract, because Datalab delivers regulatory changes through new versions,
- a contract with an information intermediary (e.g. Moj-eRačun, FINA, PONDI or ZZI),
- code lists and documents set up for Fiscalization 2.0.

What changes from 2026 and what exactly to set up is described on the [Fiscalization 2.0](https://www.pantheon.hr/en/fiscalization-2-0/) page.

## Incoming invoices without retyping

To receive incoming invoices we developed [ArsURA](https://www.pantheon.hr/en/custom-development-and-solutions/arsura/), a web portal that:

- reads XML e-invoices directly, and PDF invoices with the help of artificial intelligence,
- has a person review every invoice before export,
- exports the result to Excel for import into PANTHEON,
- can automatically fetch invoices from Moj eRačun (MER).

## Frequently asked questions

**Is a PDF sent by e-mail an e-invoice?** No. An e-invoice is a structured record, and a PDF is only an image of the invoice.

**Do we need a contract with an intermediary?** Yes. E-invoices are exchanged through an information intermediary, with whom you sign a contract. We help you choose one and connect it to PANTHEON.

**Can incoming e-invoices be posted automatically?** Received e-invoices arrive as structured data, so they can be processed and posted without retyping. The settings depend on your invoice approval process.
