The Invoice Lifecycle service encompasses invoice printing and distribution, payment control, reminders, and collection services.Every invoice (case) is tracked, and all actions are carried out in accordance with the predefined rules of the creditor.
Settlements are created 1 - 3 times per week, and settlement payments are sent to the creditors the same day.
As the use of this service begins with posting new sales invoices, please follow the steps below to ensure optimal use of the API endpoints.
