How to issue an e-invoice in Outvoicer?
1. Log in to Outvoicer
Log in the way that suits you best: with Smart-ID, eParaksts LV or email.
Once logged in, choose your company and click “Create new invoice”.
2. Create a new invoice
If your company and client details are already saved, you don't have to start from scratch every time. Outvoicer automatically fills in client details, invoice numbering and VAT information, and lets you design your invoice.
Less manual work — more time for your business!
3. Choose a client and add a product
Choose the client and add details about the service provided or goods sold.
Forget manual data entry! Outvoicer automatically detects and shows whether the client can receive e-invoices.
4. Check the invoice details
Before sending, make sure the invoice contains all the required information:
- your and your client's details;
- invoice number and date;
- service or product;
- amount;
- VAT information;
- payment information.
Extra handy: clients and services you've used before are saved automatically, so your next invoices are even faster to create.
5. Send the e-invoice
All set? Send the e-invoice straight from Outvoicer.
There's no need to download an XML file and use another platform just to send it.
Outvoicer lets you prepare and send e-invoices directly from the platform.

An e-invoice is not the same as a PDF
Important: an e-invoice is not simply a PDF file sent by email.
An e-invoice is a structured, machine-readable electronic invoice whose data systems can read and process automatically. A PDF, on the other hand, is mainly a visual document meant to be read by people. Read more in our e-invoicing guide.
That means less manual data entry and easier invoice processing for both you and the recipient.
