What rules apply for invoices sent to the public sector/Peppol?

According to the law, invoices sent to the public sector must be electronic. This does not only mean that businesses must be able to invoice local authorities, but also that such authorities must be able to receive e-invoices. The e-invoices must follow the European standard Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement On-Line), unless another standard has been agreed upon.

In Visma eEkonomi Smart, you can send e-invoices to all authorities and the program meets all the requirements according to Peppol. Read more about sending e-invoices in the topic Send e-invoices.

The Peppol ID is a type of identifier which is connected to Peppol, and each user has a unique ID. A Peppol ID consists of a prefix (e.g. 0007) which determines what data the second part of the identifier contains.

You can find your Peppol ID in Settings - Company settings - Invoice settings, under E-invoices, if you have ticked the Receive e-invoices box.

If you send e-invoices you don not have to consider your recipient's Peppol ID as the program takes care of that automatically.
