When you create a new invoice in ABOSS, an entity is always required. This ensures the correct company details are included on both the PDF and XML export.

1. Default entity and selection
When you add a new invoice from the event page, ABOSS automatically applies your default entity if you have one. This means the correct company profile is immediately linked to the invoice.
If no default is set, the invoice shows Select entity.
Even if a default is applied, you can always switch to another entity before finalizing the invoice.
2. Entity and XML format
The entity you select not only provides the company data shown on the PDF, but also determines the XML format used for export. Because each entity is linked to a specific format (Peppol BIS v3, XRechnung, or Factur-X), selecting the right entity ensures that your invoice is both visually correct and XML-compliant.

3. If no entity is selected
If no entity is selected, the invoice will not contain sender details and cannot be exported as XML. This safeguard prevents incomplete or invalid invoices from being created.
We always advise you to check the PDF preview before sending an invoice, to make sure everything looks correct and complete.
