Main function

VAT-compliant electronic invoicing.

Note

Credit notes cannot be handled via Invoice, see:

Fees/Discounts

Fees and discounts (e.g. vRG, VOC, WEEE) must be included in the item prices (excl. VAT) and correspond to the prices in the product data feed.

VAT compliance (reference to delivery)

The delivery must be referenced either by delivery note reference (DELIVERYNOTE_ID) or delivery date (DELIVERY_DATE).
This can be done in the header or on item level (for collective invoice)
