InvoiceNow and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Singapore’s nationwide InvoiceNow initiative is transforming how businesses exchange invoices and report GST data.
Built on the international Peppol e-invoicing network, InvoiceNow enables invoices to be transmitted directly
between accounting systems without manual entry, PDFs, or email processing.
When integrated with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, businesses can automate invoice transmission,
streamline accounting workflows, and comply with IRAS requirements while maintaining a fully digital ERP environment.
What is InvoiceNow?
InvoiceNow is Singapore’s nationwide e-invoicing framework led by IRAS and IMDA.
It allows businesses to send structured electronic invoices directly from one accounting system
to another through the Peppol network.
Invoices can be transmitted electronically to:
- Customers and suppliers
- Accounting systems for automated processing
- IRAS systems for GST reporting support
This system eliminates manual invoice handling and enables real-time digital accounting.

InvoiceNow addresses these issues by standardizing invoice data and enabling secure system-to-system transmission.
Common Challenges with Traditional Invoicing

- Duplicate or lost invoices
- Incorrect GST reporting

How InvoiceNow Solves These Problems
