- Withdrawal of EDIFACT Support: Effective July 1, 2025, Sweden will stop recommending and supporting EDIFACT-based messages in public procurement, as decided by the Single Face To Industry (SFTI) Steering Group.
- Transition to Peppol BIS: The SFTI initiative encourages organizations to adopt XML-based messaging using the Peppol BIS standard for new implementations and procurements instead of the outdated EDIFACT standard.
- Stakeholder Involvement: The SFTI initiative involves various stakeholders, including public entities like the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions, the Agency for Digital Government, and the National Agency for Public Procurement.
- Guidelines and Tools: To facilitate the transition, SFTI has established workgroups to publish guidelines and has developed a free tool to convert catalogs from Excel to Peppol BIS format.
- Improving Business Efficiency: This shift aims to enhance business efficiency by promoting network-based solutions over point-to-point connections, aligning with the growing trend of e-invoicing and e-reporting mandates across governments.
