- Find the message by its Date, Document ID, From, To or Document Type, and check its Status and Network.
- Use the actions to the right of the message:
- View more info (the magnifying glass) opens Message Details, with its metadata and history, where you can also edit, validate and send it;
- Print shows the message as a PDF in your browser;
- Archive moves it to the Archived view.
- To unarchive a message, open Archived and click the green box icon on it.

- SentSent successfully.
- ReceivedReceived successfully.
- FailedThe message has an error.
Check it worked
- The message you're looking for is in the view you expect: sent messages under Outbound, received ones under Inbound.
- An archived message appears under Archived, and returns to its usual view when you unarchive it.
If something goes wrong
- A message is
Failed. Open View more info and read the error. Missing mandatory fields, incorrect identifiers and unsupported document types are the usual causes. Fix the underlying data and validate again; see Send a Peppol invoice. - A message is stuck at
Pending. It hasn't been sent yet. Open it, click Validate, then Send. - You can't find a message. Check the Archived view, and the All view in case it's inbound rather than outbound.
