Invoice Response

On this page

Invoice status acknowledgement of the PEPPOL Billing profile.

Definition

The Invoice Response (BIS Invoice Response) lets the buyer communicate the status of a received invoice using status codes (e.g. AB acknowledgement, AP accepted, RE rejected, PD paid) and dispute reason codes. Unlike the purely technical MLR, it conveys a business decision about the invoice.

Origin

Specified by OpenPeppol in the "BIS Invoice Response 3" profile of the Post-Award Coordinating Community, on UBL 2.1 ApplicationResponse.

Example in context

<Response><ResponseCode>AP</ResponseCode></Response> — AP = Accepted (the invoice will be paid)
