There is an attachment size limit in e-invoice?

⚠ Machine-translated answer, not yet manually reviewed. For the exact wording, see the Slovak original.

Short answer

Standard itself EN 16931 No specification Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 do not provide for a uniform, universally binding numerical limit of the size of the Annex inserted into e-invoice. As the inserted Annex is technically coded as binary object directly in XML the document, its practical maximum size may be limited by the technical parameters of a particular certified delivery service provider (e-invoicing delivery-service provider) or used accounting software, not a single rule of the whole network Peppol.

Without a single number

Norm does not specify limit

Recommendation

Check with Provider

The specific limit should be determined by the chosen e-invoicing delivery-service provider.

Conclusion

Standard for e-invoice does not specify a uniform numerical limit of the size of the Annex; the practical constraints depend on the particular provider of the delivery service or software.
