More and more customers are requesting the option to send invoices in XML format. This is a clear trend indicating that electronic invoicing is becoming increasingly important. In this post, we explain how to do this in Softpak.

Standard solution

Softpak offers various standard output formats for invoices, including Email, E-Billing, and XML.

Go to the Debtor screen (General > Relations > Debtors) and enter XML in the Invoice Type field under Invoicing Details. From then on, the system will send invoices in UBL format, including a PDF attachment.

Previewing an Existing Invoice in XML Format

Would you like to check how an already created invoice looks in XML format?
You can first verify whether the format is correct. Simply go to the relevant invoice and click on the XML icon in the top toolbar.

This will generate an XML file without sending it. A pop-up message will display the file name and location, making it easy to find the generated file.
