This guide describes how Netvisor generates invoice material in the Finvoice 3.0 format. The guide covers e-invoicing data, sender and recipient information, delivery information, basic invoice information, invoice lines, and invoice total and VAT information.
Netvisor sends and receives invoice materials in the Finvoice 3.0 format. This guide describes which field in Netvisor corresponds to a row in the invoice material. Below are examples with images and messages showing how the message is formed compared to the Netvisor user interface.
E-invoicing data
The e-invoice address and operator information saved on the customer card are stored in the "envelope" of the Finvoice message in the following fields:
<eb:To>
<eb:PartyId>FI0799201901261467</eb:PartyId>
<eb:Role>Receiver</eb:Role>
</eb:To>
<eb:To>
<eb:PartyId>NETBFI99</eb:PartyId>
<eb:Role>Intermediator</eb:Role>
</eb:To>
Sender information
Sender information is transferred from the Company basic data page to the fields below. Based on the business ID, the company's VAT number (SellerOrganisationTaxCode) and the company's OVT number (SellerOrganisationUnitNumber) are also generated for the message.

</SellerInformationDetails>
Sender's bank accounts are sorted alphabetically by bank name in the e-invoice message (SellerAccountID). According to the order, the last bank account is used as the sender's IBAN account number in the message (EpiAccountID). Bank accounts are defined in bank account management.
Recipient information
Recipient information is taken from the customer card as follows:
If a customer-specific identifier (e.g., factory number, etc.) needs to be transmitted in the e-invoice material, the identifier can be entered in the field "Recipient's OVT number, if different from the company's business ID". In this case, the information is brought to the invoice message field "BuyerOrganisationUnitNumber". The recipient's place of business code information can be added behind the place of business, which will go to the e-invoice message field "BuyerSiteCode".
From the customer's default contact person information, the contact person's name, phone number, and email address are saved in the invoice message, if they are saved on the customer card. Read more about customer card information here>>
