\n

Please note: this is for the Belgian market.<\/strong> PEPPOL in PERIFACT is intended for entrepreneurs who invoice in Belgium. If you operate from the Netherlands, you do not need this function for the time being.<\/p>\n

Sending invoices without email and without retyping<\/h2>\n

PEPPOL is a secure network that allows you to deliver your invoice directly into your customer's accounting system. No PDF as an attachment, no mailbox where it gets lost among the junk mail, and on the other end, no one manually retyping amounts.<\/p>\n

In PERIFACT, PEPPOL is simply listed alongside Email, Printing, and PDF. You create your invoice as you are used to and choose PEPPOL when sending.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

WITHOUT PEPPOL<\/p>\n

PDF by email<\/h3>\n

You make a PDF, email it, and hope it gets seen. On the other end, someone copies the data into the accounting software. Twice the work, and every manual entry is a chance for a typo.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

WITH PEPPOL<\/p>\n

Directly into the system<\/h3>\n

You click on PEPPOL. The invoice is sent encrypted across the network and arrives as a file that your customer's software reads in immediately. No one needs to re-enter anything.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

What is PEPPOL exactly?<\/h2>\n

PEPPOL is an international agreement on what an electronic invoice looks like and how it is securely transmitted from one business to another. Think of it as a postal network for computers: every connected business has its own address, and what you send only goes between parties that have been pre-verified.<\/p>\n

What goes over that network is not a PDF, but a structured file. The invoice number, amounts, and VAT are in a fixed location within it, so your customer's accounting department can extract them without intervention. If you still want to include a readable PDF, you can: you turn that on at Settings<\/em>, Basis<\/em>, PEPPOL tab.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Why PEPPOL is currently trending in Belgium<\/h2>\n

Since January 1, 2026, Belgian VAT-registered businesses are required to exchange structured electronic invoices among themselves. A PDF via email no longer qualifies as an electronic invoice. The PEPPOL network is the designated path for this.<\/p>\n

In short: if you invoice Belgian companies, your invoice must be able to go that digital route. With PEPPOL in PERIFACT, that is taken care of.<\/p>\n

Just to be clear:<\/strong> There are exceptions, for example for invoices to private individuals and for certain exempt entrepreneurs. If you are unsure whether the obligation applies in your situation, consult your accountant. No rights can be derived from this information.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
