What is E-Invoice Remediation?

E-invoice remediation is the controlled, automated correction of structural compliance errors in electronic invoices, with explicit safety boundaries that prevent modification of financial fields like amounts, VAT rates, and bank details.

How E-Invoice Remediation Works

When an invoice enters the remediation pipeline, Invoice Navigator first validates it against the applicable rule sets (EN 16931, Peppol BIS, country-specific rules). Each failing rule is classified: structural issues like missing XML elements, incorrect date formats, or malformed identifiers are auto-fixed. Issues requiring business data (buyer references, routing IDs) are flagged as input-required. Financial fields — amounts, tax rates, IBAN, currency — are blocked from modification. After remediation, the invoice is revalidated through KoSIT (the German government's official validation engine) to confirm compliance. An Evidence Pack is generated documenting every change made, the rules applied, and the validation result.

Why E-Invoice Remediation Matters

For organizations processing thousands of invoices through production pipelines, manual error correction doesn't scale. Remediation automates the fixable errors while maintaining strict safety boundaries. The result: fewer rejections, faster processing, and a complete audit trail proving every correction was controlled and verified.

How to Get Started

Upload an invoice through the Validator to see remediation in action. Each error is classified and, where possible, automatically corrected. For production integration, the API applies remediation programmatically with the same safety guarantees.

How Invoice Navigator remediates invoices

Invoice Navigator's three-tier classification — auto-fix, input-required, blocked — ensures automated corrections never alter the financial meaning of an invoice. Every remediation is followed by KoSIT revalidation, and the full change log is captured in an Evidence Pack for audit traceability.
