Setting up Peppol via Storecove for purchase and/or sales invoices

MJA Updated by MJA

It is possible to send and receive invoices from Newbase via Peppol.

What is Peppol:

An international network and a set of agreements (standard) for the secure and efficient exchange of electronic documents such as invoices between organizations.

What is Storecove:

Newbase uses Storecove, a certified Peppol Access Point provider that offers a platform and API, to send Peppol invoices.

How does it work:

If your customer wants to receive invoices via Peppol, your enter an identifier type for the organization/debtor/creditor in Newbase. This could be the customer's Chamber of Commerce number or VAT number, for example. Newbase uses this information to search for the customer on the Peppol network (via Storecove). The customer will receive the invoice from Newbase not via email, but directly within their accounting package or ERP application. Newbase has no further influence or knowledge on this matter.

Costs?

Contact Newbase regarding the costs of using Peppol via Newbase and Storecove.

Once Storecove is configured, the icon below will appear in the widget.

  1. If you want to check the identification on the Peppol network, click on the 'cloud' icon

3. Configure Peppol per organization and debtor

Now you can configure whether invoices should be sent via Peppol per organization / debtor. In the example below, we configure this for the debtor. Based on the identifier type you enter here (Chamber of Commerce or VAT of the customer), the customer can be found on the Peppol network.

Note:

For debtors, there's a field where you can enter the VAT number. This number is sent to Twinfield and printed on the invoice. For Peppol, you must enter the VAT number as an e-identifier, as described below.

  1. Go to the organization or debtor for which you want to configure invoices to be sent via Peppol
  2. Go to the E-identifier widget (WID04716)
  3. In the 'Default Document setting' field, select Peppol. The Peppol icon will appear. Then click the plus sign to add the identifier types (the VAT of Chamber of Commerce number of the debtor).
  4. Click on the 'cloud' icon to check if the debtor is found on the Peppol network

4. How can you quickly see if Peppol is configured?

In a list view, organizations, debtors, and creditors with a Peppol configuration have an icon:

In the detail widget you see the same icon:

5. How can you quickly search for organizations/debtors with/without Peppol?

On the start screen of the Organizations and Debtors module, you can add two standard queries via 'Change role options'.

1. Debtors with Peppol settings and e-identifiers

2. Debtors without Peppol settings

6. How do you send a Peppol invoice?

When you create an invoice for a debtor set up with Peppol, the invoice automatically receives the Peppol settings. Within the sales invoice module, you have the widgets "Peppol settings" (WID04612) and "External integration log" (WID02099), where you can view the invoice status.

  1. Click the 3 dots within the invoice to open the menu.
  2. Select "send via Peppol network." If multiple printouts are being used, select the relevant printout. Newbase doesn't know how the customer receives this invoice. This will likely be within the customer's accounting software or ERP application.

7. How can you see if the invoice has been sent?

  1. You can check whether the invoice has been sent successfully using the 'Peppol settings' widget. A Peppol UBL URL is also provided. Clicking this displays the XML with data from Storecove
  2. The 'External integration log' widget provides more information about the invoice's sending

8. How do you quickly find invoices that haven't yet been sent via Peppol?

On the home screen of the sales invoice module, you can perform a standard query. This search is called: Invoices yet to be sent via Peppol network.
