  5. Email address of the private person

What to include in Invoice Data when Customer is private

How to make sure that customer is created only once:

  • When posting the invoice, make sure that enough customer data are included in the correct way (see sample below)
    • Email Address (the best way to distinguish, but then email address must be unique)
    • Name (not an element of distinction, but to show the name)
    • Phone
    • Customer number (optional)
    • IBAN,BIC (optional : is a good element of distinction, but not always available)
    • flag VATLiable (not mandatory, goal is to make it clearer in customer overview)
  • Alternative Solution : Create customer before:
    • Create
      • via Excel upload,
      • or via API,
    • Get the PartyID of the customer (via API, or read on the screen)
    • Post invoice including Party ID of the invoice

Examples (without and with PartyID)
