The milestone solution was reached by developing a new AS4 Access Point for eDelivery, which was already successfully passed a connectivity test with CEF digital portal.
Rok Bojanc, ZZI d.o.o., explains the impact of the access point: »When exchanging eInvoices, reliance and security are of crucial importance, which is why access points used for the exchange of documents among partners are important. Newly developed access point is based on AS4 protocol and ensures safe, secure and reliable exchange of eInvoices among partners.«

In order to prepare the Slovenian market for the implementation of the e-Invoicing Directive 2014/55/EU, binding for all public procurement obligors in the EU to receive eInvoice sent in the European standard, the actors, involved in the “Readiness Of Slovenian E-Invoicing” (ROSE) Action issued an upgrade of the eSlog 2.0 standard. Various relevant stakeholders were involved in the preparation of the upgrade.
From today on, XML scheme of the new standard and mapping tables between eSlog 2.0 and eSlog 1.6, in order to enable translation between the two standards, are available at http://www.roseslovenia.eu/activities.html. Scheme and tables are supported by eSlog 2.0 documentation in Slovenian and English language for software solution and services providers to enable integration of the new eSlog standard into their solutions.
Dušan Zupancic, Chamber of Commerce of Slovenia, explains the importance of the newly developed standard: “The update of eSlog is EN 16931 compliant and follows the Directive 2014/55/EU rules. Firstly, the upgrade will enable receipt of eInvoices from the EU Members States in public administration and secondly, it will enable receipt in private sector. Slovenia is among the first EU countries that will implement national standard and eInvoicing infrastructure in accordance with the EU standard by 1 June 2018.”
Educational workshops continue in the spring
Partners consortium devotes speacial attention to informing and education the actors that are affected by a reform and organizes a series of educational workshops around Slovenia. In the upcoming months, they will be taking place in:

Slovenian obligors for public procurements are getting such exchange hub for eInvoices which will enable them to receive eInvoice in European standard, a requirement of the newly adopted Directive 2014/55/EU on eInvoicing.
The technical solution in the form of upgraded single entry and exit point is being implemented by the Public Payments Administration of the Republic of Slovenia for public procurement obligors, which are budget users. A brand new exchange hub is designed by ZZI d.o.o. for contracting authorities and contracting entities, which are not budget users, under the patronage of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia. Both solutions will be compatible, following the same concept of functioning and will thus be establishing a common system, taking into account interfaces with ERP providers who service both budget users as well as obligors who are not budget users. Both solutions will translate UN/CEFACT CII and UBL 2.1 syntax eInvoice into the new EN 16931 compliant Slovenian standard eSLOG 2.0 and will ensure visualisation of 2.0 eInvoice. In the transitional period, technical solutions will also generate conversions of eSLOG 2.0 eInvoice into eSLOG 1.6 eInvoice, which will ensure easier and smoother transition into novelties.
Informing stakeholders is among the key activities of the Action
In order to successfully implement the Directive 2014/55/EU in Slovenian public procurement market, the inclusion of the stakeholders and awareness raising is among the key priorities of the actors, involved in the ROSE Action.
