Electronic invoicing service overview

Privacy notice

Enabling and using electronic invoicing might require sending limited data, such as your organization's tax registration ID. The system transmits this data to third-party agencies that the tax authorities authorize to send electronic invoices in the predefined formats required for integration with government web services. Data imported from these external systems into this Dynamics 365 online service is subject to our privacy statement.
