Invoices

that the invoice content against local and international regulations in some countries. You
can send the invoice only if the invoice content passes this verification.
Basware does not, however, guarantee the legality of invoices sent through Basware Network. It is the invoice sender’s responsibility to ensure that the invoice complies with relevant legislation.
Different buyers may require a different number of fields on their invoices. If your buyer does not require all of the fields described below, some of the fields may be hidden from the Invoice view. Some buyers may also require that you fill in custom fields not listed here.
Similarly, some buyers may enforce various validation rules on certain invoices fields. They may, for example, limit you from setting the invoice date too many days in the past, or place limitations on how many characters you may enter in certain fields.
