About Business Process Type

When sending an invoice or credit note, the business process type must be included.

French translation : Cadre de facturation

Guidelines:

  • Mandatory field.
  • On header, not on detail lines.
  • 1 value only. If an invoice has invoice lines with goods and services, then the type will be mixed.
  • Code from a list. Other codes are not allowed.
  • Normal possible values for most cases are:
    • B1 : the invoice consists of goods.
    • S1 : the invoice consists of services.
    • M1 : the invoices has goods and services.

Distinction between Goods, Services and Mixed

In most cases, the invoice will consist of goods or services.

This is because it refers to the "principal supply". Incidental or accessory charges of another type are not sufficient to use Mixed.

Mixed means that goods and services are both important on the invoice.

What to include in the API

While posting the invoice, the Business Process Type code is included. Example with just the Business Process Type.

{
"BusinessProcessType": "B1"
}

With the GET command, the Business Process Type will be included.
