From setup to delivery: e-invoicing with Peppol in ABOSS

The step-by-step process to set up and use e-invoicing in ABOSS

Written by Geertje

The workflow for electronic invoicing brings together the new building blocks in ABOSS. You begin by setting up entities, then update your templates to use the new codes and calculations, and finally generate invoices where everything comes together. Each step is described in its own article so you can follow the process at your own pace.

1. Creating entities

Entities store the company details (such as legal name, address, VAT number, and bank details) that are used in both PDF and XML invoices. You need at least one entity to generate compliant XML exports.

For Agency, go to Office > Entities. For Artist PRO, go to Settings > Entities.

2. Updating templates with entity codes

Once entities are created, update your templates so they use the new {{ entity... }} codes instead of the old {{ agency... }} ones. This ensures the correct entity is always shown on both PDF and XML.

3. Updating templates with calculations

Financial details such as totals, VAT, WHT, and costs are no longer written in formulas but selected via template settings. These calculations are handled in the backend so your invoices are always XML-compliant.

4. Generating invoices with entities

When creating an invoice, ABOSS automatically applies your default entity. You can change the entity if needed, and then complete and send your invoice as usual.

5. Connecting to Billit

To send electronic invoices, organisations must connect through a certified access point, and ABOSS Agency does this via Billit.

6. Sending electronic invoices

Once your account is prepared for electronic invoicing and connected to Billit, invoices can be sent directly from ABOSS Agency. Billit handles the routing and delivery to your recipient. Supported formats and networks depend on the recipient's country. Check Billit's documentation for country-specific coverage.
