Download an invoice's PDF and XML

Every invoice issued in Cord has its PDF. In addition, when the invoice is an electronic document before a tax authority, it has its XML (the actual tax document, the one your accountant needs):

• Mexico (CFDI), Peru (SUNAT) and Colombia (DIAN): More actions › Download XML on the invoice detail.
• Brazil (NF-e): the authorized XML is downloaded from the invoice’s NF-e panel. See How to invoice in Brazil with Cord.
• Chile (SII): the DTE XML and the Assignable copy (cedible) are downloaded from the invoice’s SII panel. See How to invoice in Chile with Cord.
• Spain, Germany and France: the European e-invoice formats (Factur-X, XRechnung, Peppol and, in Spain, Facturae) are in the E-invoice section of the detail. See European e-invoicing.

A commercial invoice or a pro forma only has a PDF. To see which document Cord issues in your country and which tax rails are being activated, see Invoicing by country.

Where to find them

Go to Invoices in the main menu and open the invoice you need. Its detail page has Download PDF and, when it applies, More actions › Download XML.

You can also reach the same file from the detail page of the quote that generated that invoice, in the tax documents section.

From the customer link

An invoice link lets the recipient view that document without creating an account or entering the seller’s dashboard. It shows the balance, line items, payments and available downloads. Share it only with intended recipients: anyone holding the link can view the invoice.

View, download and contact

• Use Refresh balance to check recent changes.
• Download the PDF and, for an available CFDI where applicable, the XML directly from the link. Download access is limited to that invoice.
• Use the business contact when shown. Otherwise, reply to the email that delivered the invoice.
• On mobile, scroll the line-item table to see all amounts.

If you just paid

Returning from payment does not itself mark the invoice as paid. If confirmation is pending, refresh the balance. If your bank already shows a charge, contact the seller before paying again.

A void invoice, credit note or test document has a different next step from an open invoice. Test documents are identified and cannot receive a real payment. The payment button depends on document state, balance and the seller’s payment account.

Availability of the September improvements is being verified. See scope and release status; contact support if a described action is not yet shown in your account.

A pro forma in Mexico or Spain has a downloadable PDF, but no fiscal XML. Free includes ten commercial invoices per month. Downloading a document already issued does not consume another unit, even after changing plans.
