View a PDF attachment of an e-invoice (purchase invoice)

You can open the PDF invoice as an attachment to the selected e-invoice. During the import, where possible, the .pdf files are automatically linked as attachments.

In the following scenarios, which PDF attachment belongs to which e-invoice is automatically determined during the import. This applies to manual and automatic import and processing via the POP e-mail account:

• The e-mail contains one e-invoice and one PDF attachment, for example 123456.xml and invoice.pdf
• The PDF attachment has the same name as the e-invoice, for example 123456.xml and 123456.pdf
• The e-invoice is sent with a PDF attachment in which the invoice number from the e-invoice appears in the name of the PDF attachment. For example invoice.xml (contains invoice number 123456) and invoice123456.pdf

In all other scenarios, the attachment is not automatically linked to the purchase invoice concerned. You need to add it manually when entering a purchase invoice or add it manually via the dossier.

To view a PDF attachment for an e-invoice:

1. Go to: Financial / Creditor / E-invoice.
2. Select the e-invoice.
3. Click on the action: Open attachment.

   The action is greyed out (disabled) if the selected e-invoice does not have an attachment. You can still add a new PDF attachment during the entry of the purchase invoice.
