Invoice INVO

🇩🇪 Zur Anleitung in Deutsch wechseln / Supplier Cancel Notification (EOLN) →

Main functions

Transmission of the invoice reference and any payment references such as the QR IBAN and the QR reference number for QR invoices in CH.
Orderly clearing of the delivered items with all SHOULD elements, so that they fulfil the given rules of invoicing:
1. Rules of invoicing in CH
2. Rules of invoicing in the EU

Delivery costs and delivery insurance may not be charged within the items (INVOICE_ITEMs), but must be charged separately in the ALLOW_OR_CHARGE block.
No credit notes or negative amounts can be transmitted via the INVO this is done manually as a PDF by e-mail also compare:
- Digitec Galaxus AG (CH) - Credit note
- Galaxus Deutschland GmbH (EU) - Credit note
Since the after sales processes are handled manually, no EDI INVOs may be sent for them → these lead to an import error for us and must therefore be prevented on the basis of the document type at your end. See also:
- Digitec Galaxus AG (CH) - After Sales
- Galaxus Deutschland GmbH (EU) - After Sales

Collective invoices

It is possible to transmit one invoice for several orders (collective invoice). For this purpose, the Galaxus purchase order number must be sent in the ORDER_ID element within the items (INVOICE_ITEM/ORDER_REFERENCE).

Fees/discounts

Prepaid recycling fees (vRG in CH, in EU WEEE) other fees or item discounts must be included in the PRICE_AMOUNTs of the items. The PRICE_AMOUNTs must correspond to the purchase prices (incl. fees excl. VAT) that are provided to us in the product data feeds in the PurchasePriceExclVat column, which we also use to order in the ORDP.
