Send Lifecycle Messages
Explanation
Use this activity to send E-invoice lifecycle messages for customer and supplier invoices. Some of the lifecycle
messages are triggered automatically in IFS Cloud and some are triggered manually. We only send lifecycle messages
that are mandatory to send.
When sending an E-invoice lifecycle message from IFS Cloud, it is necessary to use a service provider that
converts the E-invoice lifecycle message to the requested format and sends the message to the different parties
(can be seller, buyer and local tax authorities).
Prerequisites
