      EU E‑invoicing Support for Belgium

      We are excited to announce the first phase of our e-invoicing rollout, beginning with Belgium. To ensure your events remain compliant, Registration now supports generating EN 16931-compliant e-invoices via the PEPPOL BIS 3.0 standard.

      Key Capabilities

      • PEPPOL BIS 3.0 Support: Generate invoices in the mandatory XML format required for interoperability across the PEPPOL network.

      • Automated Compliance: Ensure every registration invoice meets the strict EN 16931 data requirements automatically.

      • Targeted Belgian Localization: Specific logic applied to Belgian VAT entities to meet local tax authority standards.

      Who is this for?

      This release is specifically designed for:

      • Organizations with a Belgian VAT entity.

      • Organizations hosting B2B events in Belgium for Belgian attendees using Cvent Registration.

      Note: This is the first step in our broader e-invoicing initiative. Stay tuned as we expand these capabilities to other member states in future releases.

      What’s New?

      • PEPPOL BIS 3.0 XML Downloads: Alongside the standard PDF, you can now download the mandatory XML e-invoice file via the "Print Certificate" option in attendee details.

      • Enhanced Seller Profiles: New standardized fields under Registration > Pricing allow you to store VAT/Tax IDs and other essential seller data required for compliant headers.

      • Flexible Registration Support:

        • Individual & Group: Each individual attendee and group member receives their own unique e-invoice.

        • Guests: Guest fees are automatically consolidated onto the primary registrant’s invoice.

      • Manual Export Control: In this phase, Cvent provides the compliant files for download. Attendees/planners can then manually share these invoices with the attendee's organization (buyer).

      Configuration Requirements

      To generate a valid e-invoice, specific "Buyer" data must be collected.

      1. Enter Seller details: You must add seller details under Registration > Pricing > EU E-invoice, required for compliant headers.

      2. Collect Attendee Data: Capture fields such as VAT number, Peppol Scheme ID, and Buyer Reference during registration.

      3. Map Custom Fields: Planners must configure Contact Custom Fields to capture attendee data for invoicing, using the specific codes outlined in our technical documentation.

      Get Started: For a step-by-step setup guide, please refer to the support article: "Generating EU E-Invoicing for Your Events."

      Easier Discovery of “USA” in Country Dropdowns

      To reduce friction in forms and align with how attendees naturally search for countries, the country dropdown now makes “USA” significantly easier to find when “United States”–style terms are entered in searchable country fields.

      Why It Matters

      • Attendees who type “United States” or similar phrases now immediately see “USA” in the filtered results instead of scrolling through the full list.

      • Reduces the risk of incorrect country selection, supporting cleaner location data without requiring configuration changes.

      What’s New

      Enhanced search behavior for “USA” in country dropdowns that support type‑ahead search:

      • Typing phrases and partials such as “United States”, “United”, “USA”, “America”, or “States” returns “USA” in the filtered list of options.

      • Existing behavior for all other countries (labels, ordering, and search results) remains unchanged.

      Things to Know

      No changes to stored values

      • The display label for the option remains “USA”.

      • The stored country value and code are unchanged, so reporting, integrations, and business rules continue to function as before.
