# E-invoices (Peppol BIS Billing 3.0)

> Download a finished invoice or credit memo as a Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 UBL XML file, after checks on your company and customer details. Delivering it over Peppol needs your own access point.

Open a finished invoice or credit memo and choose **More ▾ → E-invoice (Peppol UBL)**.

**What it makes.** A Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 file in UBL XML — an *Invoice*, or a *CreditNote* for a credit memo, which refers back to the original invoice when it is linked to one. The figures are the document's own; nothing is recalculated. Drafts cannot be made into e-invoices — finish the draft first — and a void invoice is refused.

**Setting it up — the E-invoice settings.** The dialog has two sections:
- **Your company** — *Endpoint scheme* and *Endpoint ID* (your Peppol identifier, for example 0088 for a GLN or 9930 for a German VAT number), *VAT number*, *Company registration no.*, and *IBAN* and *BIC* for payment. Only a company administrator can change these; everyone else sees what is set.
- **This customer** — the customer's *Endpoint scheme*, *Endpoint ID* and *VAT number*, saved with *Save customer Peppol ID*.

**The checks.** Before the file can be downloaded it is checked. **Errors** must be fixed first: your company or the customer has no Peppol endpoint ID; your company address has no country; standard-rated VAT without your VAT number; no lines; a line without a name or description; or lines, discount, shipping and tax that do not add up to the total. **Warnings** do not stop the download: no customer reference (PO number), so the invoice number is used; or VAT per category differing by a cent because tax is rounded per line. Each says what to fix.

**Downloading.** When it passes, *Download XML* saves Invoice-(number).xml or CreditNote-(number).xml. The download is recorded on the document's history.

**Sending it.** Only certified access points may send on the Peppol network, so IntuBu produces the file and **your own Peppol access point** (or your customer's portal) delivers it — upload the file there. IntuBu does not send over Peppol itself; the email from [Emailing an invoice (Save & send)](https://intubu.intuitivecapital-dai.com/docs/send-invoice-email) sends the PDF.

The VAT categories used are standard-rated, zero-rated and exempt. See [VAT and GST](https://intubu.intuitivecapital-dai.com/docs/vat-gst) for VAT returns.
