First, check whether the invoice was successfully sent from Zervant. Select the invoice under the tab >Invoices and check >History on the right side of the screen.
To help you understand the e-invoices sending route better, this picture shows all the stages your invoice takes before it reaches your customer:
The usual reasons why your e-invoice delivery fails:
1. E-invoice address
Please ensure your customer's e-invoice address is correct and that you have chosen the correct format of the e-invoice address in your customer's information under the tab >Customers.
2. Character length
Your customer's company name:
Currently, your customer's company name is limited to 60 characters in length.
Message field:
In e-invoicing, the character limit for the message field is 1024.
If the limit is exceeded, the e-invoice delivery will fail since operators do not accept an e-invoice that exceeds the character limit in these fields.
3. An undefined reason from your customer's e-invoicing operator
Please follow the instructions of your customer very carefully. For example, check that you have all the information that was requested on the invoice.
4. Routing
The different stages in the journey of the e-invoice require routing to be open between the operator and software. Routing means a set of rules, e.g., the format of the e-invoice that is accepted by all parties to finally deliver the e-invoice to the invoicing software that your customer uses.
5. Attachments are in incorrect format
In e-invoicing, only PDF format is supported for attachments.
