Contact SupportInvoice body
The seller and buyer blocks carry the identifiers Sovos uses to route and report an invoice. Map your tax identifiers to the correct fields and scheme IDs.
The invoice body contains the invoice XML embedded inside the SBD. For the full SBD wrapper structure, see About the Standard Business Document.
Sovos maps key fields from your SCI submission to the PEPPOL BIS Billing 3.0 invoice it transmits to the buyer. The fields below are specific to Slovakia routing and party identification.

Your tax identifier and PEPPOLendpoint go in AccountingSupplierParty. These are the fields Sovos uses to identify you as the sender on the network.
