Quick Start: PDF Invoice Checklist - Fitek

Quick invoice checklist

Before you email your PDF invoice to Fitek, make sure these 6 things are on it. That's all you need to get started!

6 must-haves on your invoice

1
Invoice number

Unique number for each invoice

INV-2025-001
2
Invoice date

We accept different date formats

3
Customer VAT or registration number

At least one of these must be visible

EE123456789
4
Amount before VAT + VAT amount + total

Show all three amounts clearly

1000.00 + 250.00 = 1250.00
5
VAT rate for each line

Show VAT percentage (25%, 0%, etc.) on each item

Consulting services - 25% VAT
6
Currency code

Three-letter code for currency used

EUR

Most common mistakes to avoid

No line items on invoice

Every invoice must have at least one line item (product or service description).

✓ Include: Description, quantity, unit, price
Line items without names/descriptions

Each line must have a clear description of what's being invoiced.

✓ "Consulting services" not just "Item 1"
Missing date

We accept common European date formats

Missing customer VAT/registration number

Include either VAT number OR company registration number. Without one of these, we can't send the invoice.

No VAT breakdown by rate

For each VAT rate you use (25%, 0%, etc.), show the total amount for that rate.

✓ Standard 25%: Amount 1000.00, VAT 250.00

If you have items with different VAT rates (25% and 0%), group them separately.

Too many decimals

Peppol only accepts 2 decimals. If you use more, we'll round automatically - but it's better to round yourself to avoid surprises.

✓ Recommended: Round to 1250.57 yourself

We CAN round 1250.5678 to 1250.57 for you, but we suggest doing it yourself so you know exactly what gets sent.

Missing or unclear unit of measure

Each line item needs a unit. You can write it in plain language - we'll convert it.

✓ "hour" or "LH" - we handle both
✓ "piece" or "H87" - both work

Don't have a specific unit? Use "pcs" (piece), "ea" (each), or "ZZ" (mutually defined) as default.
