Tutorial: Receiving an "Invoice Response" from the buyer

Once the sales invoice is successfully delivered to the receiver access point you can expect to get a hook with topic InvoiceResponseReceived. The InvoiceResponseReceived event message will contain the status of the document on the buyers behalf.

Prerequisite

• An invoice is successfully delivered, an InvoiceSent topic is provided.
• The buyer supports the "Invoice Response".

Step 1: Register hook

Register a hook for the topic InvoiceResponseReceived.

Webhook example:

{
   "id": "1",
   "name": "webhook",
   "action": "https://webhook.site/a81a0be5-8aad-4110-a40c-aa41a2c6e9ac#secureKey",
   "topics": [
     "InvoiceResponseReceived"
   ],
   "isActive": true
}

Step 2: Register capability in Peppol

You have to register the InvoiceResponse as a capability in the SMP if you want to receive status messages via Peppol.

We advise to update your default Peppol configuration using PUT /api/v1/peppol/config by putting the state of the invoiceResponse capability to "on". For example:

{  
  "capabilities": {
    "invoiceResponse": {
      "state": "on",
      "description": "IMR v3"
    }
  }
}

It is also possible to do this per partyId using the PUT /api/v1/peppol/config/party/{partyId} endpoint. Read more about the the Peppol SMP.

Step 3: Wait till the event arrives

Once the invoice response message is received a hook with topic InvoiceResponseReceived will be sent.

Some useful fields of the received invoice response are:

Field	Description
documentId	Id that uniquely identifies the received Invoice response
refToDocumentId	Id that identifies sent Invoice
message	Summarize message
details	Invoice response object

The hook contains all necessary information to process the response. However you could also download the received InvoiceResponse using GET /api/v1-beta/{partyId}/generic/{documentId}/download.
