SAP S/4HANA migrations are accelerating—but e-invoicing readiness isn’t keeping pace. That’s the headline emerging from the 2025 SAPinsider Benchmark Report: Global E-Invoicing Management in SAP S/4HANA Migrations, a comprehensive, data-driven study sponsored by DMA.

The report uncovers a growing gap between how quickly organizations are advancing their ERP transformations and how slowly they’re addressing the complexity of global e-invoicing mandates.

While 63% of companies are nearing completion of their SAP S/4HANA migrations, almost half of them still haven’t aligned e-invoicing with their migration roadmap—a disconnect that’s leading to rework, compliance exposure, and higher downstream cost. As countries tighten clearance requirements and accelerate mandate timelines, organizations can no longer treat e-invoicing as an afterthought.

The SAPinsider study highlights emerging patterns around solution choices, country-specific complexity, data quality gaps, and the timing of tax team involvement. It also reveals a clear trend: companies that integrate e-invoicing into their S/4HANA programs see materially better outcomes, from stronger end-to-end process integration to faster compliance with new regulations.

Here are key questions shaping enterprise strategies for e-invoicing and S/4HANA migrations:

  • Why are so many organizations still struggling to align these critical initiatives?
  • Which deployment models are gaining traction?
  • How are leading enterprises preparing for what’s next?

DMA sponsored this research to help provide clarity for organizations facing these questions and unique technological challenges. Authored by Susan Galberaith, Vice President & Research Analyst at SAPinsider, the report gives SAP, IT, and tax leaders a grounded view of how their peers are responding to global e-invoicing pressure during S/4HANA transformations.
