On the DocuWare E-Invoicing Service > Sending tab, configure how outgoing e-invoices are processed with DocuWare E-Invoicing Service. The settings configured here serve as presets for the DocuWare workflow. Some settings can be adjusted or overridden in the workflow, and some values may change based on the content of the e-invoice itself.
For instructions on setting up the workflow for sending e-invoices, see How-to set up workflows for DocuWare E-Invoicing Service.
General
Default Transport Type: Select the default network or method used to send e-invoices. The available transport types depend on the country of your legal entity.
Information: Default settings can be overridden
The default settings on this tab can be overridden by the content of the e-invoice or the workflow configuration.
Belgium (BE)
In Belgium, sending e-invoices via the Peppol network is mandatory. The Default Transport Type is set to Peppol Network. No additional country-specific configuration is required on this tab.
Information: Sending e-invoices to Belgian public institutions (B2G)
In Belgium, e-invoices addressed to public institutions are processed via Mercurius, the federal platform for receiving supplier e-invoices. Invoices are automatically routed through the Peppol network to Mercurius using the recipient's Peppol ID. No additional configuration is required beyond the standard Peppol setup in DocuWare E-Invoicing Service.
Germany (DE)
In Germany, use of the Peppol network is optional. Select the preferred transport type under Default Transport Type.
Technical and business rule checks: For e-invoices stored in DocuWare, technical and business rule checks can be performed and a report can be generated for audit purposes. This functionality is triggered and configured in the DocuWare workflow. See How-to set up workflows for DocuWare E-Invoicing Service (coming soon).
Information: Sending e-invoices to German public institutions (B2G)
In Germany, e-invoices addressed to public institutions are routed via OZG-RE (Onlinezugangsgesetz-Rechnungseingang). When an e-invoice contains a Leitweg-ID as the recipient identifier, DocuWare E-Invoicing Service automatically routes the invoice to the correct public authority via the connected network. No additional configuration is required for B2G routing.
Poland (PL)
Poland requires more configuration settings than other countries. E-invoices are exchanged through KSeF (Krajowy System e-Faktur), the national e-invoicing platform operated by the Polish tax authority.
Default Transport Type: Set to KSeF (Krajowy System e-Faktur).
Configure the KSeF connection with the following fields:
Status: Indicates whether KSeF is activated for this legal entity. After activation, you can update the existing connection settings. Deactivation is not available.
Start Date: The date on which KSeF was first activated for this legal entity. This field is read-only.
Electronic Certificate: Upload the electronic certificate issued for your company through the KSeF registration process with the Polish Ministry of Finance (Ministerstwo Finansow). Accepted formats are .pfx and .p12.
Information: Obtaining your KSeF certificate
For information on how to obtain your certificate, refer to the official KSeF documentation: https://www.podatki.gov.pl/ksef/
Certificate PIN: Enter the PIN associated with the uploaded electronic certificate.
Credit Note Code: Select the correction type applicable to your credit notes:
For a correction with effect on the date of recognition of the original invoice
Correction with effect on the date of issue of the corrective invoice
Correction with effect on a different date, including when the dates are different for different items of the corrective invoice
Type of Operation: Indicates the type of transaction, for example Goods and Services. This value may change based on the content of the e-invoice.
Legal Invoice: After an invoice is successfully submitted to the KSeF network, it is digitally signed and assigned a QR code containing relevant invoice data. Enable Store PDF with QR Code to store this legally signed version in DocuWare and select how it is stored:
Clip After: The QR-coded PDF is attached to the original e-invoice document in DocuWare.
Replace Original: The QR-coded PDF replaces the original e-invoice document in DocuWare.
Select Activate to activate the KSeF connection for this legal entity.
France (FR)
The following configuration is mandatory and available for French legal entities. In addition to send and receive e-invoices with status updates the French law requires registration in the Annuaire and the submission of e-reports to the DGFiP for all sent and received invoices. DocuWare E-Invoicing Service handles both within this configuration.
In France, the Default Transport Type is set to Peppol Network. Select the preferred transport type:
Peppol Network (default)
Chorus PRO (B2G, for e-invoices addressed to public institutions)
All existing configurations that previously had DGFiP selected as the Default Transport Type have been automatically updated to Peppol Network. No manual changes are required.
Information: Sending e-invoices to French public institutions (B2G)
In France, e-invoices addressed to public institutions are sent via Chorus PRO. To route an e-invoice via Chorus PRO, select Chorus PRO as the transport type in the DocuWare workflow. No additional configuration is required beyond the standard setup in DocuWare E-Invoicing Service.
e-Reporting France

Declarant's Email Address (mandatory): Enter the email address of the person responsible for e-reporting declarations for this legal entity.

The NAF code is a French classification code that identifies the primary economic activity of a company. Enter only the first two digits of your NAF code, for example, enter 63 if your full NAF code is 63.11Z.
Your NAF code and company size classification can be looked up in the official French business directory: annuaire-entreprises.data.gouv.fr (see for example: DocuWare on the Annuaire).

What happens when you activate the e-Reporting France configuration
When you select Activate, the e-Reporting France configuration is submitted and your legal entity's SIREN is published to the PPF Annuaire. Publication in the Annuaire automatically registers your legal entity in the Peppol network and assigns a Peppol ID/Identifier to your configuration. The legal entity is available in the Annuaire within 24 hours of activation. You can check on Annuaire de la facturation electronique to see if you have an active electronic e-invoice address.
Publishing your SIREN to the PPF Annuaire can take up to 24 hours, in production and in staging alike. This is a DGFiP infrastructure constraint, not a DocuWare E-Invoicing Service delay. You will not be able to issue or receive DGFiP invoices until the registration has propagated.
When activation is successful:
Status changes to Configured.
Annuaire Status changes to Published.
Start Date is populated with the activation date.
The Activate button is replaced by Update for future edits.
A toast notification confirms: "e-Reporting France tax report setting successfully created."
After successful activation, the Peppol fields on the General Configuration tab (Registered Name, Peppol ID/Identifier) are populated automatically.
Information on migrating an existing Peppol ID in France
If your legal entity already has a Peppol ID registered with another provider, migration options are available when activating Peppol. For details on migration scenarios and required steps, see Registration and Onboarding.
If your legal entity is already registered with another Plateforme Agréée (PA), selecting Activate also triggers a migration within the Annuaire. DocuWare, as a White Label certified PA, claims your existing entry and transfers it automatically. No additional action is required on your part. You have authorized DocuWare to perform this migration via the mandate you issued during the onboarding process.
Additional notes on e-reporting in France
Where do the Annuaire values come from? The values displayed in the e-Reporting France section, such as SIREN Number, are sourced from the legal entity registration completed during the DocuWare E-Invoicing Service onboarding process. For details, see Registration and Onboarding.
Currently, only SIREN registration is supported. Support for SIREN Suffixes and SIRETs will be available from 1 September 2026.
The procedural steps for e-Reporting will be explained in the Knowledge-Center article Understanding E-Reporting with DocuWare E-Invoicing Service (coming soon).
