E-Invoice

The eInvoice feature in BlockPeer simplifies the process of generating blockchain-backed, verifiable invoices. These invoices are not only useful for regular accounting purposes but also leverage the power of blockchain to ensure authenticity and verifiability through the TradeTrust framework.

Steps for Creating an eInvoice

1. Navigate to the eInvoice Section

• Go to eTrade -> eInvoice.

2. Prerequisites:

• Ensure that your MPC wallet is connected.

• Confirm that there are sufficient native tokens available in the MPC wallet to cover gas fees for writing the eInvoice hash to the blockchain.

How to Create an eInvoice

1. eInvoice

• In the top right corner of the eInvoice page, click the + icon to start creating a new eInvoice.

2. Fill in the eInvoice Details:

• Account Type: Select Accounting.

• Customer: Choose an existing customer from the dropdown or create a new customer by entering the necessary details.

• Billing Type: Choose Item-wise billing.

• Issue Date: Set the invoice issue date.

• Due Date: Specify the due date for the payment.

• Category: Select or create a category (this is necessary for accounting purposes).

• Invoice Number: This field will auto-populate with a unique invoice number.

  If you wish to receive payment in cryptocurrency, enter the receiving wallet address and select the appropriate blockchain network.

3. Click Create

Managing and Verifying the eInvoice

1. View & Mark as Sent

• Once the eInvoice is created, click on the invoice to view it.

• After reviewing, click on Mark as Sent. Only after marking the invoice as sent will the revenue be recorded in the system.

2. Download Invoice Files

• Two file types will be available for download:

  • PDF: A printable version of the eInvoice.

  • TT File: This file is the verifiable version of the eInvoice that can be used to check its authenticity.

3. Verifying the eInvoice

• The eInvoice can be verified using the TT File.

  • To verify, go to the BlockPeer Verifier at https://verifier.blockpeer.finance or use the TradeTrust Verifier at https://ref.tradetrust.io/.

  • Upload the TT File to confirm the invoice’s authenticity and verifiability on the blockchain.
