If errors occur when transferring invoices from Severa to Maventa, the erroneous invoice is moved to an error status created during the integration setup. To send the invoice to your customer, you need to

  • check the error message from the transfer log,
  • fix the erroneous data
  • and change the invoice back to transfer status.

You can find the transfer log by opening the Settings menu and selecting Integrations > Integrations. If the company has multiple integrations enabled, you can use the Integration name filter to narrow the view to show Maventa error logs. You can also filter data using the Day and Log level filters.

Could not save invoice nr due to duplicate invoice number. The invoice has already been sent to Maventa and cannot be transferred there again. Check that the invoice is in Maventa.
