Document type lifecycles
Invoices, credit notes, and cancellations behave differently in Slovakia: credit notes reuse the invoice flow, and there is no formal cancellation process. See what each document type requires.
-
Build your invoice in SCI format and wrap it in an SBD. See Create a document.
-
Submit to Sovos. See Send invoices. You receive HTTP 202 with a
documentId. -
Poll for notifications using your
taxIdandSenderSystemId. See Send invoices. -
Track the status sequence. Delivery and TDD reporting are independent events.
-
When you receive
209 (Completed), the submission is done.
Credit note
A credit note follows the same submission and status sequence as a standard invoice.
Differences in the invoice body:
-
Set
InvoiceTypeCodeto381. -
Include a
BillingReferenceblock referencing the original invoice number and issue date. -
Amounts should reflect the credit being applied.
See Create a document for the credit note body structure.
Invoice cancellation
The Slovak PEPPOL network doesn't support a formal invoice cancellation process. To reverse a delivered invoice, issue a credit note (InvoiceTypeCode 381) referencing the original.
