Recipients

Read about how to configure the parties who receive Documents.

You can send Documents to recipients such as the following:

PartyTypeDescription
Tax AuthorityB2GYou can send Documents to a government agency responsible for collecting tax. Generally, these are known as B2G communications because they are sent from your business to a government.
SupplierB2BYou can send a Document to a Supplier. This is generally called a B2B communication, if the Supplier is a business.
BuyerB2BYou can send a Document to a Buyer. Generally these are known as B2B communications because the Buyer is usually a business.

Recipients may also use different networks and formats. For example, you may use PEPPOL to send to a Buyer with their own PEPPOL network. However, you may have to send to another buyer using SMTP. These formats can also have their own requirements.

The following sections outlines some examples and explain how to model them in VRBL.

Receiver IDs

Vertex e-Invoicing uses the Receiver that you specify in your Documents to route the Document and check the required elements and values against the relevant Schematrons and Rules. This is explained in the Receiver IDs topic.

Receiver details

Depending on the recipient and the network or format used to send the Document, you also need to add the ReceiverDetails subelement of the Receiver (Extn) to specify details like the EAS type or an email address. This is explained in the Receiver Details topic.
