How electronic invoicing works in Mews Operations
After you configure the electronic invoicing integration for your country, the system processes invoices automatically as part of your normal billing workflow.
When you issue an invoice for a company in a supported country:
-
The system generates the invoice in the required electronic format
-
The integration sends the invoice through the official electronic invoicing platform
-
The platform delivers the invoice to the recipient system
To ensure successful delivery, the company profile contains accurate legal details such as the company name, address, and tax identifier.
Note: Incorrect company information prevents the system from sending the electronic invoice through the official network.
Check the delivery status of electronic invoices
After you issue an invoice, you check the fiscal record report in Mews Operations to confirm that the system processes and sends the electronic invoice successfully.
The report displays the delivery status of each invoice.
-
Success indicates that the system processes and sends the electronic invoice successfully.
-
Error indicates that the system cannot process the invoice due to missing or incorrect information.
If the status shows an error, review the message in the report, correct the invoice information, and resend the invoice.
Note: If the recipient system does not receive the electronic invoice, download the electronic invoice file and send it directly to the customer.
