Electronic Invoicing Compliance in Latvia with SAP Document and Reporting Compliance

Fri, Jan 16, 2026

Latvia is advancing rapidly toward a fully digital, structured approach to invoicing and tax reporting. With mandatory electronic invoicing already in place for public-sector transactions and further obligations on the horizon, organisations operating in Latvia must ensure their SAP landscapes are ready for both current and future compliance requirements.

At Crimson Technology Partners, we support organisations in navigating complex regulatory environments through SAP standard, scalable, and future ready solutions. Our Electronic Invoicing Compliance in Latvia solution, built on SAP Document and Reporting Compliance (DRC), Cloud Edition, enables businesses to meet Latvian electronic invoicing mandates with confidence and minimal operational disruption.

Understanding Latvia’s Regulatory Direction

From 1 January 2025, structured electronic invoicing is mandatory for B2G transactions, requiring suppliers to public and budgetary institutions to issue compliant e invoices. The regulatory scope has further expanded with mandatory structured invoice data reporting for B2G and G2G transactions to the State Revenue Service (SRS) from January 2026, followed by mandatory B2B electronic invoicing from 1 January 2028, however, private companies can voluntarily begin issuing e-invoices and reporting them to the SRS from March 2026.

Latvia has adopted the European electronic invoicing standard EN 16931, with primary formats PEPPOL BIS Billing 3.0 and UBL 2.1. being used, and operates a decentralised exchange model, know also as four-corner model, where businesses may exchange electronic invoices through the national addressee platform, PEPPOL service providers “Access Points”, or mutually agreed B2B channels.

Crimson’s SAP Led Approach

Crimson’s solution extends SAP Document and Reporting Compliance to address Latvia specific requirements while remaining fully aligned with SAP’s standard architecture. It integrates seamlessly with SAP ERP and SAP S/4HANA, enabling secure, auditable, and compliant data exchange without custom developments.

Using SAP’s source document concept, all relevant billing documents from Finance and Sales are consolidated into a single compliance and monitoring framework, supporting B2G, G2G, and future B2B scenarios.
