Built for European Union from day one
What Peppol requires
Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 defines a structured UBL 2.1 e-invoice profile and a four-corner exchange network (sender, sender Access Point, receiver Access Point, receiver). EU Directive 2014/55/EU mandates Peppol-compliant receipt for all B2G transactions in member states; B2B mandates are rolling out per country (e.g. France 2026, Germany 2025–2028, Belgium 2026).
How Invoicemonk meets Peppol
Invoicemonk builds the Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 UBL, validates against the Peppol schematron, signs the payload, and routes it via a certified Peppol Access Point partner to the buyer's Access Point using the receiver's Peppol participant ID. Status callbacks (delivered, rejected, accepted, paid) flow back into the invoice timeline. Cross-border invoices use the destination country's Peppol BIS country specialisation where one exists.
Who this applies to
Any EU seller or buyer exchanging structured e-invoices. All B2G transactions across member states under Directive 2014/55/EU. B2B coverage expands as each member state activates its mandate.
