Some customers or public authorities require invoices to be submitted in a specific XML format (for example Peppol BIS, XRechnung, or Factur-X).
In Billit, you can easily configure this per customer via the customer record.

This article explains step by step:

• how to choose a different XML format for a customer;

• which XML formats are available;

• when to use which format.

When is this necessary?

You should adjust the XML format when:

• your customer explicitly requests a specific XML format;

• an invoice is rejected due to an incorrect format;

• you are invoicing a public authority or a foreign institution;

• your customer works with a specific e-invoicing platform.

Step-by-step: Changing the XML format in the customer record

Step 1: Go to your customers

1. Open Billit

2. Go to Customers

3. Open the customer record of the relevant customer

Step 2: Choose the desired XML format

1. In the customer record, go to XML Format

2. Select the format required by your customer
   (e.g. BISv3, XRechnung, Factur-X, …)

Step 3: Save the customer record

• Click Save

• The selected XML format will automatically be used for all new invoices for this customer.
