# Fixed fee (Late Payment Directive)

The Late Payment Directive (2011/7/EU) allows a fixed compensation on late corporate payments. If you have agreed this with Ropo, you can enable it per invoice.

### How to enable

Set `fixedfee` to `"1"` on the invoice `dataset`.

### Rules

* Only for corporate debtors (`customertype: "1"`).
* Not allowed for consumer debtors.
* Not allowed for invoices with `finance` enabled.

### Example

```json
{
  "datastream": {
    "dataset": [
      {
        "jobtype": "0",
        "customertype": "1",
        "fixedfee": "1",
        "company": "Example Company",
        "address": "Example street 1",
        "postcode": "00100",
        "city": "Helsinki",
        "billdate": "2026-02-06",
        "paydate": "2026-02-20",
        "payrow": [
          { "desc": "Service", "count": "1", "amount": "100.00", "taxpr": "24" }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

{% hint style="info" %}
If you set `fixedfee: "1"` for a consumer debtor, the job is rejected.
{% endhint %}
