    This article explains how to manage invoices on the InExchange Network, particularly when there are delivery issues. To delete an invoice, click on "Manage" and then "Delete," which also removes it from sent invoices. Validation errors may be due to incorrect totals or customer references, which must be corrected in the invoicing system. If the customer name or reference codes are incorrect, they must be corrected before the invoice can be sent again. Issues may also arise if the issuing organization of the invoice does not match the sender, often due to a change of operator without prior notice to InExchange.

    How do I delete an invoice on the Manage page?

    Path to InExchange Network: Invoices\Manage

    On the Manage page, your invoices that could not be delivered are collected. You can fix inaccuracies and resend invoices directly through this view.

    1. Start by clicking on Manage on the relevant row to delete an invoice.

    2. Then click on Delete.

    Note that the invoice is also removed from your Sent invoices.

    Keep in mind that you may need to credit the invoice in your business system and in your accounting.

    How do I handle a stopped/undelivered invoice?

    Go to page in InExchange Network: Invoices\To manage

    Under To manage you have the option to edit invoices that have not been able to be dispatched.

    Instructions for handling a non-delivered invoice:

    1. Click on Manage to the right of the invoice you wish to re-send.

    3. Once you've edited the incorrect information or selected an alternative delivery method, click Send
      Note: If you resend the invoice using a method other than e-invoice, the change will not be updated in the customer registry.
    4. The invoice will then be sent to the recipient and can be found under Invoices > Sent invoices.

    If the invoice has already been processed in another way, you can select Ignore to the left of Send. This removes the invoice from the list of unsent invoices without affecting the customer registry.

    How do I resend a returned paper invoice?

    On the Manage page, it says Paper in the Delivery column for invoices that have been sent as paper invoices. You can access the invoice in PDF format by clicking on the magnifying glass.

  • Technical Errors
    1. Overview: Causes and Solutions
      1. Invoice Handling Errors
      2. Technical Errors
      3. Delivery Errors to Recipient
      4. Other Errors

    The article describes various technical errors that may occur when handling invoices and attachments, as well as how these can be resolved. Errors can be due to invalid characters in XML files, missing attachments, or that an identical file has already been sent. To resolve these issues, it is recommended to correct and resend the files, and in the case of duplicates, slightly modify the file's content to create a new signature. It is important that attachments are transferred correctly and on time along with the invoice.

    Technical Error

    Why did the error occur?
    A technical error occurs because there is something wrong with the content of the invoice, preventing it from being read. For example, there may be invalid characters in the XML file.

    "Could not find an invoice matching the attachments within the specified time" means that we have received an attachment, but no invoice corresponding to the attachment.

    "Could not find an attachment matching the invoice within the specified time" means that we have received an invoice that specifies in the file that there should also be an attachment, but we have not received any attachment.

    How do I resolve the error?
    In order for the invoice to be sent, you need to correct the file and resend it.

    Depending on whether it is the attachment or the invoice that is missing, it needs to be transferred to us again.

    Technical Error - Duplicate

    Why did the error occur?
    The file that has been sent is identical to a previously sent file.

    How do I resolve the error?
    If it is an invoice that you are trying to send that you have previously sent, a change needs to be made in the file for it to go through.
    If it is an invoice that needs to be resent that you have already sent, there is the option to resend it via InExchange Network. Read more here

    Technical Error - Empty File

    Why did the error occur?
    The file that has been sent lacks content.

    How do I resolve the error?
    Since there is no content in the file, it cannot be processed by InExchange.

    Check why the file is empty, resolve the error, and then upload the file to InExchange again so it can be processed and sent to the recipient.

    Technical Error – Duplicate

    Why did the error occur?
    The file that has been sent is identical to a previously sent file.

    How do I resolve the error?
    If it is an invoice that you are trying to send that you have previously sent, a change needs to be made in the file for it to go through.
    If it is an invoice that needs to be resent that you have already sent, there is the option to resend it via InExchange Network. Read more here.

    Processing failed: Result is not valid XML: Root element is missing

    Why did the error occur?
    This is an error that can occur if the structure of the XML file is corrupted, incorrect, if it is empty, or if the transfer was interrupted.

    How do I resolve the error?
    To resolve this type of error, the invoice needs to be corrected and resent.

    InExchange has received a copy of an already existing file

    Why did the error occur?
    An identical file has already been transferred.
    This is checked by creating a signature for the invoice based on its content.

    How do I resolve the error?
    In order to resend the invoice, the content of the invoice needs to be changed. The smallest change, such as a space or a period, is sufficient for a new signature to be created.

    Could not find any attachments within the specified time

    Why did the error occur?
    When reading the invoice, the specified attachment could not be found.
    The attachment must be transferred as soon as possible in connection with the invoice.

    How do I resolve the error?
    Check that the specified name of the attachment in the invoice matches the transferred attachment.
    Transfer the invoice and attachment again.

    PDF invoices could not be delivered

    If your PDF invoices could not be delivered – here’s how to resolve the error

    If your PDF invoice could not be delivered to the recipient, it may be due to a number of different reasons. You can start by checking the following items.

    Is the correct email address provided?

    • Check that the spelling and format of the address are correct.
    • Contact the recipient to verify that the address is in use and that the recipient's inbox is not full.

    Has the email been blocked by the recipient?

    • Ask the invoice recipient to check that messages from noreply@inexchange.se are not being blocked by the recipient's mail system, for example, by a spam filter or otherwise.

    Sometimes temporary issues can arise without anything needing to be addressed, and you can simply go into the list of stopped invoices via the button Manage your stopped invoices and resend the invoice(s) without changes. If you then receive no new error message and the invoice is included in the list of Sent invoices, the shipment has been successful.

    Resolve and resend
    If your PDF invoice could not be delivered, you will receive an error message from us via email. Click the button Manage your stopped invoices that is in the error message to resolve any errors and to resend the invoice.

    The recipient could not be found / The identified recipient organization is not the invoice recipient

    Why did the error occur?
    The recipient of the invoice is not registered as a recipient in InExchange Network.

    This means that the recipient currently does not have a registered service for receiving e-invoices with InExchange or with another operator via interconnection. It may also be that we could not identify the recipient due to insufficient information, for example, if the organization number, VAT number, or GLN is missing.

    How do I resolve the error?
    If it is a customer that you know can receive e-invoices but is not yet registered as a recipient in our network – contact InExchange support at 0500-44 63 60 or via our contact forms so we can register them as a recipient.

    Otherwise, you can resend the invoice by selecting another delivery method under Manage on InExchange Network.

    Negative amount is not allowed

    Why did the error occur?
    The totals of the invoice must not be negative according to the invoice standard: Svefaktura.
    Svefaktura invoices are defined as debit or credit in a field called InvoiceTypeCode, so totals should not be negative.

    How do I fix the error?
    The final amount of the invoice must not be negative. The invoice needs to be corrected and resent.

    Found more than one organization

    Why did the error occur?
    The recipient could not be uniquely identified among multiple recipients with the same org.nr, VAT number, or GLN.

    This can occur, for example, if a municipality has chosen to register its departments as separate recipients and the invoice only contains the org.nr.

    To make as precise a match as possible, something that uniquely identifies them is needed, for example: GLN.

    How do I fix the error?
    Contact the recipient to get the correct GLN to send the invoice to and resend the invoice.
