Guide on how to send e-invoices to foreign recipients from Netvisor using the Peppol network.

Sending e-invoices abroad from Netvisor is possible just like to any other operator if the recipient has a Peppol address. The sender of the invoice does not need to be registered in the PEPPOL network for sending.

A Peppol address is in the format "prefix":"identifier number" and Operator: “PEPPOL”.

Additionally, a check is placed on the customer card at the point "Skip e-invoice address verification when saving information".

If the recipient requires the invoice in EU-standard format, also check the box “EU-standard compliant e-invoice”. More about EU-standard compliant invoicing in this guide: EU-standard compliant e-invoices

The prefix varies between different countries and organizations. The identifier number can be, for example, a business ID, VAT number, or GLN number. Prefixes and identifier numbers can be searched here: https://docs.peppol.eu/edelivery/codelists/

  • In Finland, the prefix is 0216 and the identifier number is the company's OVT number
  • If a GLN number is used as the identifier, the prefix 0088 must be used. This number does not change by country but is always the same.
  • In Norway, prefixes 9908, 9909, 0192 are used

Netvisor customers have Finvoice as the e-invoice format, but for sending international e-invoices, the PEPPOL network is automatically activated on the company's Maventa account immediately after account registration. Registration to the PEPPOL network is free, and sending and receiving invoices through the PEPPOL network is in line with a regular e-invoice transaction. Charges are based on the number of transactions. See our latest price list: Netvisor price list

FAQ

What is Peppol?

PEPPOL (Pan European Public eProcurement On-Line) is a European network for transmitting electronic documents. The EU's goal is that in the future, all public procurements can be handled electronically from requests for proposals to invoicing according to uniform procedures, and PEPPOL is an important step towards this goal.

More information about the PEPPOL project can be found in English https://peppol.eu/what-is-peppol/

In what format are the invoices?

All invoices transmitted through PEPPOL are in the PEPPOL BIS format. When an invoice is sent from Netvisor, it is converted to the PEPPOL BIS format.
