Peppol (“Pan-European Public Procurement Online”) refers to an infrastructure established in Europe and increasingly also internationally for the secure transmission of data in the context of electronic procurement.
Peppol enables automated sending, transmission, receipt and processing of electronic invoices.
The invoice sender should only establish a connection to the PEPPOL network or PEPPOL access point. The transmission of the invoice to the invoice recipient is automatic.
1. Supplier sends an invoice via Peppol and selects the Peppol ID of the company/authority to which they wish to send.
2. Supplier’s Peppol Access Point receives the invoice and sends it to the buyer’s Peppol Access Point.
3. Buyer’s Peppol Access Point receives the invoice/document and sends the invoice to the buyer.
4. Buyer receives the invoice.
