What this means for you
Electronic submission, receipt and processing of invoices in covered Lithuanian public procurement have been mandatory since July 1, 2017. The transition from E. sąskaita to SABIS began on July 1, 2024. SABIS became the production system on September 1, 2024 after E. sąskaita closed on August 30, 2024. There is no general B2B mandate.
What FreeBillGen can verify
For eligible saved invoices, FreeBillGen can prepare generic OASIS UBL and UN/CEFACT CII mappings and run its named internal checks. These mappings are not EN 16931, Factur-X, Peppol, national-CIUS or clearance-platform validation. FreeBillGen does not transmit them through a provider network.
Check this route in Invoice PassportThe free Inbox can manually parse selected UBL/CII supplier files for review. Syntax recognition is not profile validation; manual upload is not a Peppol or government-network receiving endpoint and does not by itself satisfy a receive obligation. Open manual upload
