Download an e-invoice (Peppol XML)
Get the UBL / Peppol BIS 3.0 XML file of an issued invoice to send to your customer or upload to a portal.
Every issued invoice can be downloaded as an e-invoice: an XML file in the international UBL / Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 format (EN 16931), which Peppol networks and many tax authorities accept.
Steps
-
Open E-Invoicing. The Ready? column shows which issued invoices have everything an e-invoice needs. If something is missing, see Set up e-invoicing.
Which invoices are ready -
Click XML ↓. The file downloads, named after the invoice number.
Download the XML -
Or download it from the invoice. Issued invoices have an E-invoice (XML) button at the top.
Or from the invoice -
Send or upload it. Email the file to your customer, or upload it to your Peppol access point or tax portal.
Note Direct submission to a national portal (such as ZATCA Fatoora, FBR or a Peppol access point) is set up per country. Until then, download the file and upload it yourself.
Good to know
- Only issued (or paid) invoices can be e-invoices; drafts and void invoices can't.
- The file has the same lines, tax and totals as the PDF.
