What exactly is Peppol?
From 1 January 2026 can you truly no longer around: Peppol. That is a European network that allows companies to share invoices and other documents digitally and securely via one uniform standard.

This obligation applies regardless of your sector, company size or legal form: even sole traders, liberal professions or small SMEs must comply, regardless of the number of invoices you send out
- To be ready for these new regulations and make our administrative processes more efficient, Has APK Group been switched by now at Peppol for sending and receiving invoices.

To accept an invoice, it is important to include the purchase order number as the PO number and ensure that the purchase order amount matches the invoice.
How does the electronic exchange take place?
