Creating E-Invoices
To support enterprise and public e-invoicing, JustOn Billing & Invoice Management can prepare electronic invoices and credits. Currently, it supports the following formats:
- Peppol BIS Billing (with UBL syntax) for electronic invoicing across Europe
- XRechnung (with UBL syntax) for electronic invoicing within Germany
You can create e-invoice XML files and send these documents to their recipients via an invoice submission portal or email.
Info
Setting an e-invoice format in the E-Invoice Format
field on the invoice is the main trigger for JustOn Billing & Invoice Management to create the e-invoice XML file on invoice finalization.
However, users can manually (re)create an e-invoice XML file for a finalized invoice.
Make sure that the e-invoice creation is properly set up and the action Create E-Invoice is available. For details, see Enabling E-Invoice Creation.
To manually create an e-invoice XML file for a finalized invoice:
-
Open the invoice for which you want to create an e-invoice XML file.
Make sure the invoice meets the required conditions.
-
Click to open the action menu, then select Create E-Invoice.
-
Review the selected e-invoice format and, if necessary, change it.
JustOn Billing & Invoice Management determines the e-invoice format automatically. If you are not sure which e-invoice formats the invoice recipient accepts or if Peppol returns an SMP lookup error (
SMP entry NOT found
orSMP lookup not successful
in a Peppol notification), you can consult the Peppol Directory. -
Click Next to confirm and complete the operation.
This creates an e-invoice XML file, validates it, and attaches it to the current invoice record.
When creating the e-invoice XML file, JustOn Billing & Invoice Management deletes all existing e-invoice attachments with the prefix
einvoice_<invoice-date>_<invoice-number>_
.
