Germany B2B: Receiver Details

You must specify the correct Receiver details for German B2B Documents.

How you specify these details depends on how you transmit the Document. You can use email/SMTP, or you can use the PEPPOL network.

Email/SMTP

If you transmit these Documents using email/SMTP, you need to specify the email address of the final recipient of the invoice in the the ReceiverDetails (Extn) Extension.
