PEPPOL eInvoicing

This function is applicable in countries that support the PEPPOL UBL standard:

Proprietary format Reference

PEPPOL UBL - Credit Note

PEPPOL UBL - Invoice

2.2 (BIS 3.0.10)

All European public administrations must be able to accept invoices in electronic format from their suppliers, in compliance with the European standards approved by CEN: UN/CEFACT XML and UBL. Some countries have created their own national platforms to centralize the receipt of invoices from suppliers and others have opted to use the European PEPPOL network in preference for these B2G exchanges.

The invoices can be in one of these standards:

  • Peppol BIS, based on the UBL standard
  • CII, the UN/CEFACT XML

Invoices and credit notes based on these standards can be created according to country specifications of the destination country.

Country validation is added to the standard PEPPOL Sales Invoices and Credit Notes for these countries:

  • Australia
  • Denmark
  • Italy
  • New Zealand
  • Norway
  • Singapore
  • Sweden

Connectivity to Access Point Providers (APP) is provided through ION API. See the Infor Localization Services Platform Configuration and Administration Guide for a list of accredited APPs. If your preferred APP supplier is not in the list, raise an enhancement request in the Infor Support Portal so that we can review the requirements.

Note: Customers must arrange their own account with the APPs.

Process flow

This diagram and list show the flow of data between ERP and customer: PEPPOL_overview_ver2

  • The ERP publishes a standard sale invoice or credit note.
  • LSP determines the proprietary format for the invoice, based on information sent from the ERP and Master data configured in LSP.
  • The proprietary format is created, validated against specific country rules, and then sent to the Access provider.
  • The access provider acknowledges receipt of the invoice and forwards the invoice to the customer.
  • The response status is updated within Localization Services.
