What is the B2Brouter directory?

B2Brouter has a directory of organizations (national and international public institutions and private companies) to offer a more automatic and faster search functionality. It is often difficult to find the details of a contact to whom we want to send an invoice: Which department should I send it to? Which code DIR3, DIRE, Peppol Id, etc. should I add? How do I find the correct code for the organizational unit (head office, department, delegation…)?

The B2Brouter directory consists of a large database that automatically provides you with all the necessary data for the invoice to be sent correctly. This procedure is executed when you select a contact verified by the directory and can vary depending on the contact (Spanish or European public administration or private company), since each one has specific requirements.

Thanks to the directory you will no longer have to worry about asking for specific addresses or codes, as they are permanently available and updated in B2Brouter.

Here are the steps to follow to create an invoice using the data in our directory:

1. Create a new contact

From the Contacts section, create a new customer or supplier. Once you have added the contact’s VAT number and go ahead, the system fills in and relates all the data related to the name, address, routing codes and the method of sending invoices. Finally, all that remains is to save the changes to finish creating the contact.

2. Create the invoice, select the contact and add the routing codes

Create a new invoice and select the customer. If it is a contact that is in the B2Brouter directory and has associated data, the option Organizational unit is activated from where you can select the headquarters, department, delegation and related codes (DIR3, DIRE, etc.).

If the contact has only one combination of codes, these are added automatically without you having to select any option in Organizational Unit.

Finally, you can proceed to create the invoice.
