Settings for import and interpretation of e-invoice
Follow the steps below to activate e-invoice and interpretation of incoming supplier invoices in Monitor ERP.
Before you can begin using the e-invoice services in the system, the following settings must be configured:
- Go to the Import tab in the Settings for export/import procedure.
- Select Supplier invoice under import type.
- Check E-invoice CrossState.
- Enter Company ID if you already have an account with CrossState. If not, you create an account with CrossState using the Create account button below. Once the account has been created, the company ID will automatically be filled in.
- Select Production to use a production account with CrossState in order to import interpreted supplier invoices. Production accounts are given the extension @crossstate.se in the e-mail address.
- Upload registers/Import invoices determines if registers should be uploaded, and if it should be possible to import invoices. The Activate e-invoice setting is automatically activated when you have created an account. By register is meant supplier register, order rows, and depending on selection of Ref.matching, signers. This concerns both uploading of registers from Monitor ERP and import of invoices. When you activate this setting it means Monitor ERP will start exporting the supplier register and the order register to CrossState at a fixed time (at 20:00 CET) each night. This is done to make it possible for CrossState to match the supplier on the invoices you receive. This concerns both e-invoices and interpreted supplier invoices.
- Use the button Manual upload to manually upload the supplier register. This button is suitable to use the first time when you activate the account to make sure everything can be uploaded as it should. If a problem should occur during the uploading, you will be shown a notification about this and information about which supplier cannot be uploaded.
- Last invoice import shows the date and time of the most recent import of supplier invoices.
- Last update of registers shows the date and time of the most recent register update sent to CrossState.
- Select Activate manual verification and interpretation of invoices via e-mail, which determines if manual verification and interpretation of invoices should be used.
In the E-mail for invoice interpretation field you enter the e-mail address that should be used during manual verification and interpretation of invoices via e-mail. The domain part of the e-mail address is obtained from CrossState.
It is recommended that you enter an e-mail address according to the following format: companyname_abbreviatedcompanyname@crossstate.se.
Please note! The e-mail address can consist of a maximum of 21 characters (not including @crossstate.se).
Leave the e-mail field using Tab when you have entered the address. Two e-mail addresses will then be created for separate invoice types and application ID. This is done to be able to handle both expense invoices and material invoices (order invoices).
Please note! The addresses will automatically be updated with art and omk before @ in the address (see the yellow highlight in the image below). The image in the example is from a test account. In test accounts @efaktura.net is used instead of @crossstate.se which is used by the production account (the live account).
Please note! Orderfaktura (Order invoice) – används ENDAST av Workflow-kunder. Expense invoice is used by EIM customers.

You can select the recipients of error messages by clicking the Notify when error occurs button. These messages will be shown if something goes wrong when exporting registers or importing supplier invoices. The error messages are shown as notifications for the affected users in the system.
Use the Create account button to register an account with CrossState if you do not already have an account with them. In the dialog shown you first have to select a partner type. Select Monitor to create a Monitor-partner account with CrossState. Monitor is selected by default. The option OptoSweden should only be selected in exceptional cases if an independent customer account should be created with CrossState. This is if you are an existing customer to CrossState and want to start importing invoices in Monitor ERP.

This button is available when you have entered your company ID or created an account. Here you see the registered company information and information registered regarding the e-invoicing.
Activate e-invoice
This button is active even if you have NOT chosen to activate yourself when you created the account above. A red message appears if it was not possible to create an account with e-invoice recipients when registering.
The reason create e-invoice account failed is because your organization information is associated with a different operator. This might for example occur if your company has been using e-invoice in a different ERP system and was then using a different operator.
If that is the case, you MUST contact your old operator and ask them to release your organization information. You must actively notify your old operator that you want to change operator. This is similar to a mobile phone number which is tied to an operator and you must ask them to move the phone number to a different operator.
Once the information is released you can click Activate e-invoice again.
It is wise to plan ahead regarding changing the operator, so you are sure you have the correct operator on the go-live date and you use e-invoice. You must then notify your current operator that you are terminating the agreement and on which date they should release the information for the new operator to activate.
