Invoice statuses differ between issuance and receipt. They reflect the various stages of the invoice lifecycle.
These statuses may change following actions performed by ABCinvoice.eu, the PEPPOL network (approved platforms), as well as by users themselves.
They also depend on the invoice delivery method: either through the electronic invoicing network (PEPPOL) or by email when electronic transmission is not possible.
