Receive e-invoices
A company (Company-X.de) can receive invoices and forward them to the invoice portal for further processing.
- This forwarding can be done directly via an email server with specific rules.
- The invoice portal can also receive invoices directly from suppliers.
- Invoices can also be received via the Peppol network.
These invoices are validated by the invoice portal. They are then converted into either a PDF format or a structured, private format for further processing. After that, the invoices are forwarded to the end user in PDF format and to the ERP system in a structured format.
Electronic invoices can contain multiple attachments that are embedded in binary format directly in XML. These attachments are extracted and either sent as an attachment to the user or made available for pickup via SFTP or API for an ERP system.
