Receiving invoices

Supplier invoices, laid out clearly.

Part of ByteBill, the accounting system. EHF invoices your business receives over PEPPOL arrive as structured data, and ByteBill keeps that structure — so you can see what you are being charged for, line by line, before it goes into your books.

The idea

A PDF is a picture of a piece of paper.

An EHF invoice arrives as structured data — every amount, rate, period and reference already separated and labelled. Flattening it into a PDF throws that structure away. ByteBill keeps it, and keeps the PDF too.

What normally happens

Structured invoice → flattened to a PDF → you read “Service charge — 1 240,00”, have no idea what it covers, and have to ask the supplier.

What ByteBill does

Structured invoice → rendered from the data → you tap the line and see the detail the supplier sent with it — period, rate, quantity, VAT — with the original PDF one tap away.

How it works

Open dimensions, not a fixed template.

Different industries put different things on an invoice. A telco has usage; a landlord has periods and meters; a consultancy has hours and people. ByteBill doesn't hard-code any of them.
Step one

The invoice keeps its structure

An incoming PEPPOL or EHF document is decoded into its parts and stored as data — never collapsed into a rendered page.

Step two

A schema says how to show it

A document schema describes which dimensions this kind of invoice has and how deep they nest — so different suppliers’ detail can be shown without ByteBill shipping a new release.

Step three

The app renders it live

The invoice is drawn on the device from data and schema together — expandable and searchable. A clean PDF is generated and archived alongside it.

Issuers without a schema of their own fall back to a sensible default layout, so every invoice renders properly from day one.

For the business receiving

See what you are paying for

A supplier invoice is something you have to check before you book and pay it. ByteBill shows it clearly, so the check takes seconds.

  • Every line with its quantity, price and VAT
  • Expand a line to see what produced it, where the supplier sends the detail
  • Due date and paid or past-due status at a glance
  • The original PDF kept alongside, viewable and saveable

Included in every ByteBill subscription.

Invoice viewing is one part of ByteBill. The rest is the accounting system: the ledger, VAT, receipts, payroll and your returns.
