# Configuring E-Invoicing Service: Provider Connection tab

On the **DocuWare E-Invoicing Service > Provider Connection** tab, establish the connection between DocuWare and your registered legal entity.

**Provider Environment Type:**

- **Production**: Select for productive and live configurations.
- **Staging**: Select to test the setup before going live. This option is only visible if a staging environment has been enabled for your account.

**Company Name**: Select the legal entity you want to configure the E-Invoicing Service for. The dropdown lists all registered and confirmed legal entities. Only companies for which registration has been successfully completed are available.

**Company Country**: Filled automatically after the connection is established. Read-only. The country determines which transport types and country-specific options are available on the following tabs.

**Service user**: The user account under which the E-Invoicing Service runs. To assign a different user, select **Change User**. This user must have [permission to run a DocuWare workflow](/help/docs/webbased-workflow-designer-permissions) with the E-Invoicing Service. A dedicated service account is recommended for easier tracking in the document workflow history.

Select **Test Connection** to verify the connection. When successful, the status **Connected** is displayed and you are guided to proceed to the next tab.
