Basware Implementation Details

When operating certain markets, your business may require to distribute electronic invoices – structured invoice data that is exchanged electronically between trading partners in order to automate accounts payable processing.

Be aware that there are various e-invoice formats, distribution channels, and operators (see Creating E-Invoices). To help getting a wider reach, JustOn Billing & Invoice Management integrates with the Basware Network. This global e-invoicing network supports many protocols and document formats, and interoperates with a large number of partner networks.

Once set up,

  • JustOn sends the invoice data as well as relevant file attachments, like the invoice PDF, to the Basware Network, and
  • Basware generates legally valid electronic invoices and transfers them to the recipients – either directly or via partner networks.

Distributing invoices through Basware

Info

The Basware integration is available as of JustOn 2.46.

This page summarizes specific information about the Basware integration.

Note

The common instructions include the minimum required fields. Depending on your business context (type of products or services sold, target markets, etc.), Basware may, however, require additional fields to be set, and produces errors if they are missing. For generally acknowledged and project-approved recommendations for setting up the Basware-specific fields, see Best Practice: Basware Setup.

Basware Status

The Basware status is a "helper" object in JustOn used to track the data transfer status, which is linked to the invoice. It includes the following fields:

Label API Name Description
Business Document Identifier (BUMID) ONB2__BumId__c A unique identifier for the invoice. Points to the UUID at the invoice.
File References ONB2__FileReferences__c Tracks which attachments have been transferred.
Invoice ONB2__Invoice__c Lookup field that specifies the invoice.
Is Latest ONB2__IsLatest__c Flags the latest status record for this particular item.
Last Error ONB2__LastError__c Shows the error message in case the data transfer has failed.
Status ONB2__Status__c Shows the Basware status:
Unsent
File Error
Files Sent
Invoice Error
Finished
Request Body PostDocumentRequestBody__c Optional field (Long Text Area (32768)) used to record the data that is sent to Basware.

The Basware statuses have the following meaning:

Status Description
Unsent The initial status upon creation.
File Error States that some attachment uploads have failed.
Files Sent States that the batch process BatchBaswareFileUpload has completed successfully and the attachments are uploaded to Basware.
Invoice Error States that the batch process BatchBaswareInvoiceUpload has completed with errors and that the invoice data upload has failed.
Finished States that the invoice transfer (both the file and data upload) to Basware has completed successfully. Invoices with the Basware status Finished are not considered for further transfer processes.

Note

You may have contracted Basware to print invoices (and, consequently, have set a printing preference) and to post them locally in the corresponding destination countries. In this case, you may need to provide customized invoice templates that comply with the destination country's postal regulations. If you have contracted international postal deliveries, one generic template may be sufficient.
