The General Office of the State Council also issued "Several Opinions on Promoting the Healthy Development of Domestic Trade Circulation", clearly proposing to "speed up the application of electronic invoices and improve supporting measures such as reimbursement and registration of electronic accounting vouchers", which also enhanced the "function" of electronic invoices. According to a person from Suning Shangyun Group, Suning.cn started the pilot project of electronic invoices from August 20 12, and became the organizer of the pilot project of electronic invoices selected by the National Development and Reform Commission and other eight ministries and commissions nationwide. Up to now, a total of120,000 electronic invoices have been issued, bringing convenience to consumers.
It is reported that at present, the invoices issued by major B2C e-commerce companies not only realize the electronization of paper invoices, but also exist independently in the form of electronic certificate in all life cycle links such as invoice generation, distribution, issuance, acquisition, storage and inspection, without relying on any carrier, which is equivalent to locking sales and service data, which restricts businesses from strictly fulfilling commodity management norms. At the same time, some e-commerce companies with offline stores have also realized online to offline, and consumers can also get electronic invoices when shopping in physical stores.
