Preview & Resend
You can preview the PEPPOL representation of any sent document, track delivery status through CentaraIQ, and resend documents that failed or need to be delivered again.
Preview a document
To see exactly what was sent (or what will be sent) in PEPPOL format:
- Open the Posted Sales Invoice, Posted Sales Credit Memo, Released Purchase Order, or Posted Warehouse Shipment.
- Select Preview Electronic Document.
- A rendered view of the PEPPOL BIS 3.0 document is displayed, showing all fields as the recipient will see them.
The preview includes:
- Header: sender and receiver details, document dates, references
- Lines: item descriptions, quantities, unit prices, VAT
- VAT summary: breakdown by category and rate
- Payment details: terms, due date, payment means
- Totals: line totals, VAT totals, document total
This is useful for verifying that company details, line items, VAT breakdown, and references are correct before or after sending.
Delivery status tracking
eMessaging provides real-time delivery status tracking through CentaraIQ. Each posted document shows its current delivery state:
| Status | Meaning | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Not Sent | Document has not been queued for electronic delivery | Check the customer’s Document Sending Profile |
| Pending | Queued for sending, waiting for the Send job queue | Will be sent on the next job queue cycle |
| In Transit | Transmitted to CentaraIQ, awaiting delivery to recipient | CentaraIQ is processing the delivery |
| Sent | Successfully delivered to the recipient’s Access Point | Delivery receipt (MDN) received from the recipient’s Access Point |
| Acknowledged | Recipient has acknowledged receipt of the document | The recipient’s system has confirmed processing (not all Access Points support this) |
| Failed | Delivery failed | Check the error message for details |
| Expired | Delivery attempts expired without success | Contact the recipient or Centara support |
Checking delivery status
- Open the posted document.
- The Electronic Document Status field shows the current status.
- Select Refresh Status to poll CentaraIQ for the latest delivery information.
- Select Electronic Document Log to see the full transmission history.

Resend a failed document
If a document failed to send (status Failed):
- Open the posted document.
- Review the error message to understand what went wrong.
- Fix the underlying issue (e.g., update the customer’s VAT number, renew your certificate, correct PEPPOL registration).
- Select Send Electronic Document to retry.
The document is re-converted and sent. If it succeeds, the status updates to Sent.
Resend a previously sent document
In some cases, you may need to resend a document that was already successfully delivered (for example, if the recipient lost it or had a system issue):
- Open the posted document.
- Select Send Electronic Document.
- Confirm that you want to resend.
The same document is sent again with the same content. The recipient may receive a duplicate — coordinate with your customer before resending. The delivery log will show both the original send and the resend.
Batch resend
To resend multiple failed documents at once:
- Open Posted Sales Invoices and filter by Electronic Document Status = Failed.
- Select the documents to resend.
- Select Send Electronic Document from the action bar.
- All selected documents are queued for resending.
Sending history
Each posted document maintains a complete log of all send attempts:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Send Date/Time | When the send was attempted |
| Status | Sent, Failed, or Pending |
| Error Message | Details of any failure |
| CentaraIQ Document ID | The electronic document identifier in CentaraIQ |
| Format | The format used (e.g., PEPPOL BIS 3.0) |
| File Size | Size of the transmitted document |
To view the history, open the posted document and select Electronic Document Log.
