How to Create Electronic Documents by Using OIOUBL

When you sell goods or services to a customer in the public sector, you must submit documents electronically. In Dynamics NAV, you can create electronic documents for invoices, credit memos, reminders, and finance charge memos. Before you can create the electronic documents, you must have set up file locations and information about the customers. For more information, see How to: Set Up Customers for OIOUBL.

Creating Electronic Documents

Electronic documents can only be created after a document has been posted or issued. The following sections describe how to post a sales invoice with the required information and then create an electronic sales invoice, but the same procedure applies to sales credit memos, reminders, finance charge memos, service invoices, and service credit memos.

To post a sales invoice

  1. Choose the Search for Page or Report icon, enter Sales Invoices, and then choose the related link.
  2. Open the sales invoice that you want to post.

  3. On the General FastTab, make sure that the External Document No. field contains the document number that the customer supplied.

    For reminders and finance charge memos, the fields are on the Posting FastTab.

  5. Post the invoice.
