Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement On-Line) is a standardized network for the secure exchange of electronic documents, such as invoices, between businesses and public administrations in Europe. It simplifies and standardizes the e-invoicing process, facilitating B2B and B2G (Business to government) exchanges, particularly for cross-border transactions.

Before sending invoices via Peppol, it is essential to register on the Peppol network. This will allow you to receive a unique Peppol ID, which is necessary for sending and receiving documents through this system.

Typically, this registration is done through an accredited Peppol service provider. You will need to scan your ID card, or passport, or resident card, or driver's license.

If you are already registered on the Peppol system, you do not need to register again.

In the Accountable app, you have the option to register through the Settings as well as from the invoice sending (under Revenue).

From Settings

1. In Settings, go to Peppol.

2. Click on Start registration

3. Fill in the form and click on Save

4. Follow the steps either from your desktop or mobile. Scan your ID document on both sides, as instructed.

4. Wait while your registration is being completed. You can track the status of your registration.

5. Once the status changes to Active, you can start sending invoices via Peppol.

Congratulations, you are now registered on the Peppol network!
