Send Customer Invoice
Here we have gathered answers to common questions about network relationships and tips on how to send an invoice to a new invoice recipient or how to start sending e-invoices to an existing recipient to whom you have previously sent PDF or paper invoices.
If your customer cannot receive e-invoices yet, you can choose to send a PDF or paper invoice.
Find E-Invoice Recipients and Check Invoice Requirements
To send an e-invoice, the recipient must be registered in our network. You can add recipients who are not yet registered yourself.
1. How do I check if the recipient is in the network?
To send an e-invoice, the recipient must be registered in our network. When you search for a company, you can also see what types of electronic documents they can handle and if they have any e-invoice requirements.
How to search in the network:
-
Go to the page Expand Your Network and search for the relevant company.

-
In this search, we see that InExchange Factorum AB both receives and sends electronic invoices, but neither sends nor receives orders or price catalogs.

2. How do I know if the recipient has any special e-invoice requirements?
In the InExchange Network, you can check if anything special is required when you start sending e-invoices to a recipient.
Do this:
-
Search for the company on the page Expand Your Network and click on the company's name in the search results to get more information.

Suppliers Must Be Approved
When you start sending e-invoices to a recipient, it may be that your company must first be approved as a supplier (for e-invoice). In these cases, there is a marking in the box Suppliers Must Be Approved, see the image below.
When you send an e-invoice for the first time to a recipient, a request to be approved as a supplier is included if the recipient requires this. In these cases, it may take a few days before the first e-invoice can be delivered as your network relationship needs to be approved first.
It is also possible to send a request before the first e-invoice is sent >>
Has Controls
If the recipient has activated controls for e-invoices, this is indicated by a marking in the box Has Controls, see the image above. Contact the recipient for information on what references and other information they require on the invoices sent to them. It is important that reference information is specified exactly according to the instructions for it to be valid.
3. I have received a letter that my customer wants e-invoice. What do I need to consider?
You can send e-invoices to all recipients through us. With the recipient's GLN (which should be in the letter you received), you can find the correct recipient.

Good to know:
-
The e-invoice recipient must be registered in our network.
You can search for the recipient in the service you use with us or on the page Expand Your Network to see if they are registered in our network.
If you cannot find the recipient, you can easily register them >> -
Correct reference must be indicated on the invoice.
If your customer uses reference control, the correct reference must be indicated on the invoice. The information is obtained from the invoice recipient. -
Approval of Supplier.
In cases where the recipient requires an approved network relationship between your companies before e-invoice can be delivered, a request is sent along with your first e-invoice to them. In these cases, it may take a few extra days for the first invoice to arrive. -
Change of delivery method for an existing invoice recipient.
If you have previously sent PDF or paper invoices through us to a recipient to whom you are now going to start sending e-invoices, change the delivery method on the customer card in your customer register, directly in the service you use with us, or in the invoice files you send to us.
If you have chosen to use our automatic postage optimization (available for those using InExchange Integrated services), the delivery method will automatically change to e-invoice when the recipient is known as an e-invoice recipient with us.

Information about the recipient needed for registration:
- Company Name

- Operator
- Email Address of the Recipient
If you are missing information for registration, please contact the recipient for information.
5. My customer does not receive e-invoices, what should I do?
If your customer does not receive e-invoices yet, you can send your invoice as a PDF or paper invoice (for paper, at least InExchange Web Plus is required).
Here is what it looks like if the company is in the network but cannot receive e-invoices:
If you have attempted to send an e-invoice to a recipient who cannot receive invoices electronically or if they are not yet included in our network, you will receive a message about this. You can then choose to resend the invoice with a different delivery method.

Relationships and Requests in the Network
1. How to send a manual relationship request
Some invoice recipients require that suppliers be approved for e-invoicing before invoices can start being sent electronically to them. In these cases, a request to be approved is sent along with the first e-invoice. But you can also choose to send a request in advance.
How to send a request in the network:
-
Go to the page Expand Your Network and search for the relevant company. Then click on the company's name in the results list presented below the search box.
-
Now send a request by clicking on I want to send.
After you have sent a request and the recipient has approved the relationship, you have a connection in the network. This is marked with Connected in the table. You can now send your e-invoice to the recipient.
2. My relationship request was denied/rejected, what should I do now?
To get your invoice sent, you can choose to send it as a PDF or paper invoice through us (for paper, at least InExchange Web Plus is required), but if your relationship request is denied, we recommend that you contact the recipient by phone to clarify any questions. You can then send a new request as agreed.
3. Where can I see what relationships we have in the network?
On the page Connections, you can see what relationships your company has in the network.
