# Why does my invoice get rejected?

## Symptom

How do I check the reason for my invoice rejection?

## Cause

Invoice rejections can occur when:

- The invoice does not meet the buyer's transaction rules.
- Required information is missing or invalid.
- The buyer's integrated invoicing system rejects the invoice.
- The invoice does not comply with buyer-specific invoicing requirements.

## Resolution

Review the rejection reason for your invoice:

1. Sign into your SAP Business Network account.
2. Open the rejected invoice.
3. Click the **History** tab.
4. Review the rejection message and comments.
5. Identify the specific reason for the rejection.

If the rejection reason originates from the buyer's internal system or business process, [contact your buyer](https://support.ariba.com/item/view/KB0392552) for clarification.

After correcting the issue, create and submit a new invoice.
