- Buyer identity
- Check which buyer name, address and tax identifiers the transaction requires.
- Document reference
- Use an identifiable invoice number or other reference appropriate to the document type.
- Relevant dates
- Record the issue, supply and payment dates that apply to the transaction.
- Goods or services
- Describe each line and check whether quantity, unit, classification or supply location is needed.
- Tax treatment
- Record the applicable tax basis, rate, amount, exemption or reverse-charge note after verifying it.
- Amounts and currency
- Check line amounts, adjustments, net, tax and payable totals and identify the currency.
- Payment and delivery details
- Add the agreed payment instructions and confirm whether a structured format or delivery channel is required.
