Assign invoice routing codes to a contact

Routing codes are codes that are used to direct the invoice to the customer’s department, branch or office so that it can be processed correctly. Some examples are:

  • Code DIR3 for invoicing to the Spanish public Administration.
  • Code DIRE for contractors and subcontractors who need to invoice through FACeB2B.
  • Peppol identifier for invoicing through the Peppol network.
  • Codice destinatario for invoicing to SDI Italy.
  • Service code for billing to France via Chorus Pro.

The routing codes can be different depending on the customer or the invoice. For this reason, before assigning them to the invoice, they must be created and related to each customer. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Assigning routing codes to a contact

Section titled “1. Assigning routing codes to a contact”

First of all, you have to create an Organisational Unit of the customer to assign the related routing codes to it. To do this, access the Contacts section:

  • Open an already created customer by clicking on the name.
  • Select Add organisational unit.

You will then access the form to add the organisational unit information for this customer:

  • You cannot modify the VAT number.
  • You can modify other fiscal data such as the name or the address, if you need to. For example, to add the name of the department.

Now, from the same Contacts section, click on the Invoices button you find in the left part of the page.

You get to the Invoice sending method page, where you can select the Transport of your invoices for this specific organisational unit. Here you can also add the needed routing codes.

Finally, save the changes using the Save option at the bottom part of the page.

2. Assign routing codes to the invoice

Section titled “2. Assign routing codes to the invoice”

Once you have assigned the routing codes to the customer, you can create the invoice. When generating the invoice, you must first select the customer and then, under Organisational unit, select the routing codes, where you find all the organisational units you have created for that customer, with the routing codes you have assigned to them. Here you can see how to create a new invoice.
