All Documents sent to and from Vertex e-Invoicing are formatted in VRBL.

However, certain other formats may require that you include specific information. For example, EN 16931requires that you use values from the UNTDID 7143 list to classify items (as described in the EN 16931: Commodity Classification topic). You define these in your VRBL documents.

More information about formats and compatibility is provided in the VRBL: Formats topic. Some formats, like PEPPOL, are also networks. This is explained in teh VRBL: Networks topic.
