Automatically deliver posted sales invoices and credit memos to customers' Island.is digital mailboxes.
Island.is Connector for Sales Documents
The Island.is Sales Connector automatically delivers posted sales invoices and credit memos to customers’ digital mailboxes on Island.is (Pósthólf). No manual steps after posting — the document is generated, sent, and tracked automatically.
How it works
- A user posts a sales invoice or credit memo in Business Central
- The connector checks whether sending is enabled and whether the customer is excluded
- A PDF is generated using your configured Report Selections
- The document is sent via CentaraIQ eDelivery to the Island.is API
- The customer receives a notification in their Island.is Pósthólf
- Document attachments from Business Central can be included
What gets delivered
| Document type | Supported |
|---|---|
| Posted Sales Invoice | Yes |
| Posted Sales Credit Memo | Yes |
| Draft documents | No — only posted documents |

Setup guide
1. Configure CentaraIQ connection
Before using this connector, Centara Base must be installed and configured.
Navigate to Centara Setup and configure:
- Web Service URL (provided by Centara)
- Client Certificate
- Island.is endpoint settings
Contact Centara support if you need credentials.
2. Install the connector
Navigate to Extension Management and install the Island.is Connector for Sales Documents.
After installation, assign the CTAISS All permission set to all users who need access.
3. Enable sending
Navigate to Sales & Receivables Setup → Island.is Connector section:
- Check Sends Sales Invoices to Island.is
- Optionally check Sends Sales Credit Memos to Island.is
- Optionally check Sends Attachments to Island.is
- Set the Receiver Type — typically Sell-to Customer No.
4. Review customers
Open each relevant Customer Card and verify:
- The customer number (No.) is a valid Icelandic kennitala
- Exclude from sending to Island.is is unchecked (unless the customer should be excluded)
5. Test
- Create a test sales invoice for a customer with a valid kennitala
- Post the invoice
- Navigate to Centara Messages and confirm a message was created
- Verify in the CentaraIQ portal that the delivery was processed
- Check the customer’s Island.is Pósthólf (if you have test access)
Limitations
- Iceland only — designed for the Island.is digital mailbox
- Posted documents only — drafts are not sent
- Valid kennitala required — the customer number must be a valid Icelandic national ID
- Authorised senders only — your organisation must have Island.is Pósthólf access (municipalities, government agencies, law firms)
- No automatic retry — failed deliveries can be resubmitted manually from Centara Messages
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Cause | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| Invoice not sent after posting | Sending not enabled in Sales & Receivables Setup | Check the Island.is Connector settings |
| Customer excluded | Exclude from sending to Island.is is checked on the customer card | Uncheck the setting |
| Delivery failed — invalid recipient | Customer number is not a valid kennitala | Verify the customer number format |
| Delivery failed — not authorised | Your organisation doesn’t have Island.is Pósthólf access | Contact Island.is to obtain access |
| Attachments not included | Sends Attachments to Island.is not enabled | Check the setting in Sales & Receivables Setup |
