External partners have two options when creating an invoice through Lano. 


  • Generate invoices automatically 

All necessary date (e.g. address, bank account details, pay rate) gets transferred to the invoice from the partner profile and the assignment details. 


  • Uploading the invoice as a PDF 

The partner submits a self created invoice as a PDF. 


You can also create your own invoice through Lano. In doing so, you can for instance save invoices that were emailed or mailed to you and pay them through your Lano account.

Plausibility check 

When using an automatically generated invoice, all data gets directly transferred from our system into the invoice. This has the advantage that your partners will not submit faulty invoices. 


Part of the automatically generated details is:     

  • Invoice ID     
  • Invoice date     
  • Billing address & address of invoicing party     
  • Bank account information     
  • Name of assignment or invoiced task(s)     
  • USt-IdNr & tax ID number     
  • Tax rate     
  • Invoice amount 


If the partner submits an invoice as PDF, he selects the assignments that he wants to invoice through his Lano account and uploads a self-created invoice. Before this type of invoice can get approved, a plausibility check has to be performed. That means it has to be verified if the invoice amount in the PDF matches the approved pay rate for the assignment in our system.
