InvoLane
Get your finance data ready before your accredited provider tests it. InvoLane is the independent readiness layer between your finance systems and your e-invoicing provider.
This page is a summary. The full product site, including the rule reference, system-specific guidance and readiness tools, is at involane.com.
The problem
Selecting an accredited provider does not make source data ready.
The provider validates the form of a document and transmits it. It cannot establish whether the values in the fields are correct, because that requires knowledge of the business that the file does not contain. What typically goes wrong:
- required fields live in different systems
- master data is incomplete or internally inconsistent
- tax and finance decisions were never written down
- ERP fields do not line up with the provider's schema
- errors surface only during provider testing, when time has run out
- finance, tax, IT and the provider each assume the gap is someone else's
What you get
- Required-field map — which fields this business actually needs, and why each one applies.
- Source-to-target mapping — where each value comes from and where it lands.
- Cleaned and enriched master data — item and counterparty reference data put in order.
- Decision register — every significant position recorded with an owner and a date.
- Validated provider-ready output — plus the evidence package behind it.
How it works
| Check | Send three extracts, get a readiness report. Which transaction types the business actually uses, whether the item master carries classification codes, whether customer records hold the identifiers the format demands. |
|---|---|
| Fix | Clean counterparty data, collect the missing tax registration numbers, classify transaction types, get classification codes into the item master. Every significant decision recorded with an owner and a date. |
| Run | Watch what comes back — including documents accepted with warnings that still need review — and keep the configuration current as the specification changes. |
Where a change affects a tax position rather than a data field, it goes to the client's adviser rather than being decided here.
Where our responsibility ends
InvoLane is not an accredited service provider, an ERP
replacement or a tax adviser.
The accredited provider transmits documents to the government system. The client's
tax adviser decides contested tax positions. The client approves decisions and
remains responsible for the source data. InvoLane organises the data, the mapping,
the checks and the evidence of readiness.
How data is handled
Client data is processed only by InvoLane's own code. It is not sent to any third-party service — not to translation tools, not to online converters, not to external AI services. Client production systems are read, never written to. Retention is time-limited and deletion runs on a schedule rather than on request.
The full position, written for procurement and IT security, is on the security and data handling page.
