United States · current framework
The United States has no general federal B2B e-invoicing mandate. Adoption is voluntary, while an interoperable exchange framework governed by DBNAlliance is available and federal procurement uses electronic invoicing processes.
No general federal mandate currently requires every domestic B2B invoice to use structured e-invoicing. This does not remove contract-specific, agency or sector requirements. The current national B2B exchange framework is an adoption path, not a tax mandate.
B2B status
Federal Reserve materials describe an exchange framework that lets businesses share e-invoices across different software systems. The framework became market-ready in 2023 and is overseen by DBNAlliance.
Federal B2G
The U.S. Treasury Invoice Processing Platform supports participating agencies and vendors from purchase order through invoice and payment notification. Vendors can submit invoices and track their status in IPP.
