Resend an invoice

How to resend a previously sent invoice after a failed delivery on the eConnect platform.

Resending a previously sent invoice may be necessary when delivery has failed, the recipient's EndpointID was incorrect, or when a reference (such as an order number) needs to be corrected. On the eConnect platform you can do this easily from the Outbox.

How to resend an invoice
Step 1: Open the invoice in the Outbox

Go to the Outbox and click on the invoice you want to resend.

Step 2: Click Resend

Click Resend in the invoice details.

Step 3: Check and adjust

Check the details. Before sending you can still adjust fields such as the EndpointID (Peppol address) of the recipient or the reference (order number, PO number).

Step 4: Resend

Click Send. The invoice is resent with the same invoice number. The platform keeps track that this is a resend.

When is resending the right choice?

Resending is the right action in the following situations:

  • Delivery failed: the recipient was not reachable via Peppol (for example due to an incorrect EndpointID or a technical issue on the receiving end).
  • Reference error: the recipient rejected the invoice because of an incorrect order number or PO number. When resending you can correct the reference without having to create a new invoice.
  • Recipient was temporarily not registered: the recipient now has an active Peppol registration and the invoice can be delivered.

Resending is not the right choice if the invoice content itself is incorrect (wrong amount, wrong recipient). In that case you should first send a credit note and then create a new invoice.

Correcting the EndpointID

If delivery failed due to an incorrect Peppol address, you can adjust the EndpointID when resending. Check the correct Chamber of Commerce number or OIN number of the recipient. For government organisations the OIN must always contain exactly 20 digits, including leading zeros.
