Ankeri’s Chartering Invoices feature helps shipowners and operators eliminate manual data entry by generating hire statements and operational invoices directly from underlying contract terms, off-hire calculations, and charter party data.
As European B2B e-invoicing requirements continue to evolve, including national mandates in markets such as Germany and France and broader EU frameworks, structured invoice formats are becoming increasingly important.
To support this transition, Ankeri is expanding its existing invoicing workflow to support structured e-invoicing based on the EN 16931 European standard.
Expanding Your Time Charter Invoicing Capabilities
Ankeri maps existing operational invoicing data directly onto European semantic standards, keeping compliance embedded inside daily workflows.
- Building on Existing Workflows: Ankeri automatically generates hire invoices from contract and operational data. Now, those same invoices export as structured e-invoice files alongside standard PDFs.
- Built for European Formats: Native export support for major European frameworks, including France and Germany’s Factur-X / ZUGFeRD (hybrid XML + PDF) as well as UBL 2.1.
- A Connected Process: Operational hire data flows into structured formats ready for seamless import into financial and invoicing systems:
- Flexible Side-by-Side Operation: Issue compliant structured e-invoices for markets with active mandates while continuing to export standard PDFs for counterparties operating under conventional formats.
