What is Peppol
Learn what Peppol is and how it simplifies electronic document exchange between businesses. Discover how Type 2 Solutions helps you connect quickly and reliably with its EDI platform.
What is Peppol
Peppol stands for Pan European Public Procurement Online. It is an open and standardized network that enables businesses and governments to exchange electronic documents securely and efficiently. Peppol is designed to simplify cross border electronic invoicing and procurement across Europe and beyond.
At its core, Peppol allows organizations to send and receive structured documents such as invoices, orders and dispatch advices using a common framework. This removes the need for individual technical agreements and manual processes. All participants use standardized document formats based on UBL (Universal Business Language) XML, ensuring compatibility and compliance.
How Peppol works
When a company joins the Peppol network, it registers its participant details and the document types it can handle. This information is published in the Peppol Service Metadata Locator (SML), a shared registry that allows other participants to discover and connect with one another.
To exchange documents, each participant uses a certified access point, which acts as the communication channel for sending and receiving messages over the Peppol network. It functions like an internet service provider, but for business document exchange.
