What is a UUID in e-Invoicing?
Table of Contents
A UUID, or Universally Unique Identifier, is the unique identifier assigned to an e-Invoice after successful validation in the MyInvois framework. It helps identify the validated invoice in the system and supports retrieval, referencing, and related invoice processes.
Businesses should retain the UUID together with their invoice and transaction records. It should not be confused with the supplier’s own invoice number, which is a separate identifier.
