# E-Invoicing - Overview

An e-invoice is a machine-readable invoice issued by a supplier in a structured data format, allowing for automatic processing. This allows the buyer to import it directly into their system, eliminating the need for manual data entry.

## How does e-invoicing work in Zoho Invoice

Zoho Invoice connects to the PEPPOL network through Storecove. PEPPOL (Pan-European Public Procurement Online) is a standard that allows businesses and governments to securely exchange electronic documents like invoices and credit notes across borders.

In systems like Zoho Invoice, when you send an invoice via PEPPOL:

*   Your invoice is validated to make sure all required fields are filled.
*   It is then sent from your organisation’s PEPPOL access point.
*   The system uses the recipient’s PEPPOL ID to find their access point.
*   The invoice is delivered through the PEPPOL network to the recipient’s access point.
*   Once received, it can be automatically processed and converted into a **bill** in the recipient’s accounting system.

## Enable E-Invoicing

**Prerequisite:** You can enable e-invoicing only if you’ve enabled taxes in your Zoho Invoice organisation. 

To enable e-invoicing:

*   Go to _Settings_ and select **E-Invoicing**.
*   Click **Enable E-Invoicing**.
*   In the pop-up that appears, click **Enable E-Invoicing**.
*   Read and agree to all the terms and conditions.

Now, e-Invoicing will be enabled for your organization.

## Push Transactions via PEPPOL

To send an invoice or a credit note to a customer via PEPPOL:

**Note:** When transaction approval is enabled, invoices must be approved before they can be pushed to the PEPPOL network. If multi-level approval is configured, invoices can only be pushed after final approval has been obtained. 

*   Go to **Invoices**.
*   Select the invoice you want to push to the PEPPOL portal.
*   Click **Send to Customer**.
*   Click **Send** in the pop-up that appears.

## Statuses of Transactions in E-Invoicing

The status of each transaction will be displayed in the transaction’s overview page. The statuses of the transactions in e-invoicing are:

## Disable E-Invoicing

**Note:** Once you disable e-invoicing, you will no longer be able to push transactions via PEPPOL.

Here’s how you can disable e-invoicing in Zoho Invoice:

*   Go to _Settings_ and select **E-Invoicing**.
*   Click **Disable E-Invoicing** in the top-right corner.
*   Click **Disable** in the popup that appears.
