Types of documents

Which document types are sent and received through e-invoice?

Short answer

The e-invoice process primarily covers invoices, self-billed invoices and corrective invoices. It is not a general-purpose channel for every business document. Attachments may accompany an invoice, but they do not replace the structured invoice document.

Invoice

Basic document

Regular tax invoice in structured XML.

Self-invoicing

Self-billing

If the conditions are met, the invoice can be drawn up by the customer on behalf of the supplier.

Repair invoice

Document correction

Credit notes and debit notes have their own logic and link to the original document.

Attachments

Just a supplement

The PDF or the delivery note are not a substitute for the e-invoice itself.

Conclusion

Invoices, self-billed invoices and corrective invoices are the core documents; other files are attachments or separate processes governed by the supported Peppol rules.
