Restrictions

The Self-billed invoice type code 389 is not supported.
You must use one of the following codes for German Suppliers. These are from the UNTDID 1001 list:

Invoice Type Code	Description	Use
326	Partial invoice	This invoice type code is used to indicate that only a part of the total will be invoiced. In case there are multiple partial invoices it is recommended to provide also a reference to the previous invoice.
380	Commercial invoice	An invoice regarding goods or services from a seller to a buyer.
381	Credit note	This invoice type is used to correct amounts or settle balance between seller and buyer. It is not required to provide a previous invoice reference. This may be the case, for example, if a certain customer has achieved a certain volume of sales in a certain period, which then leads to a credit note. Still it is recommended to provide a reference to an original invoice if it exists.
384	Corrected invoice.	This invoice type is used to correct or cancel a previously sent invoice. Therefore it is mandatory to provide the reference to the original invoice. If you specify code 384 for a corrected invoice, you must specify an ID for the referenced document. See Germany: Corrected Invoices . Information about how to reference other Documents is provided in the Additional Documents section.
875	Partial construction invoice	Used for partial invoices in the construction industry.
876	Partial final construction invoice	Used for partial final invoices in the construction industry.
877	Final construction invoice	Used for final invoices in the construction industry.
