Billing document types for booked services via Lanes & Planes - Customers on individual invoice

When booking travel services via Lanes & Planes, we make a distinction between different billing document types, which are explained below:

1. Invoice (R)

Invoices are issued by Lanes & Planes in the name and on behalf of the service provider. Payment will be made to L&P and is debited from your account by direct debit.

Example: Services of DB

2. Payment note (Z)

Payment notes are issued to you together with an attached document from the operator or service provider, e.g. a passenger receipt or a hotel invoice. In this case the passenger receipt or hotel invoice can be used for VAT deduction. 
Even if you do not receive an invoice from Lanes & Planes, we will still be your creditor, because the payment will be made to us and debited from your account by direct debit.

Example: Services from Eurowings, Hotel bookings, AirBnB invoices

Digression:

This can also be compared to the display of an employee, where e.g. a cab bill is submitted. Also here the disbursement is booked against the employee as a creditor, although the invoice was issued by the cab company, because the payment goes in the end directly to the employee and not to the cab company.
