Electronic invoicing

Electronic invoicing falls within a legal framework established by a European directive, leading to the gradual phasing out of PDF invoices sent by email. This development represents a key milestone for professionals.

How does it work?

• The company creates its invoice in its billing software.
• The software generates a structured invoice (UBL, CII, BIS 3.0 format…).
• The invoice is sent via a Peppol Access Point.
• The recipient automatically receives the invoice in their own system.

Thanks to the Peppol network, your electronic invoices are automatically and securely transferred between your “Access Point” and that of your client.
