New format for Client details in Invoices and Estimates

New format for Client details in Invoices and Estimates

Due to the European Union's directive on standardized invoice formats (EN 16931), we have updated the way client details are entered in invoices and estimates. This change ensures compliance with regulations and facilitates compatibility with accounting software that processes eInvoices.

When creating a new invoice, you are now required to fill in your client's details using the new format:

  • STEP 1: Click on Invoices in the left-side menu
  • STEP 2: Click on “+” in the upper right corner to Create a new invoice
  • STEP 3: Select a Client company name ( the system will show a warning that the address is in old format)

  • STEP 2: Select the desired invoice/estimate
  • STEP 3: Click on the three dots (...) in the upper right corner
