Peppol enables standardized, secure, and efficient exchange of electronic documents like invoices, orders, and dispatch advices across borders.
But integrating your ERP system with Peppol can be complex. That’s where Logiq steps in as a certified Peppol Access Point, simplifying the process and eliminating the need for costly custom development.
Understanding Peppol and Logiq’s Role
Peppol operates on a four-corner model: sender, sender’s access point, receiver’s access point, and receiver. Logiq acts as your access point, handling all the technical and compliance aspects of document exchange. Once connected, you can send and receive Peppol-standard documents (BIS) with any other Peppol participant worldwide.
Logiq doesn’t just forward documents—it validates, transforms, and ensures compliance. It also supports all Peppol document types, not just invoices, and can generate visual copies (PDFs) when needed.
Technical Integration: Step-by-Step
Connecting your ERP to Peppol via Logiq involves a streamlined process designed to minimize disruption and maximize compatibility:
1. Initial Assessment and Onboarding
Logiq begins by assessing your ERP system’s capabilities and preferred document formats. Whether you use XML, EDIFACT, or a proprietary format, Logiq maps your preferred format to Peppol BIS standards.
2. Establishing the Connection
You can connect to Logiq using either:
- RESTful APIs: Ideal for modern ERP systems with web service capabilities.
- SFTP: Suitable for batch-based systems or legacy ERPs.
This single connection allows you to send and receive all supported document types, including invoices, orders, confirmations, and dispatch advices.
Did you know that Logiq has an integrated connector in Microsoft Dynamics Business Central?
3. Document Transformation
Logiq automatically transforms incoming Peppol BIS documents into the format your ERP understands. For outgoing documents, it converts your ERP’s native format into Peppol-compliant BIS before sending them to the recipient’s access point.
4. Validation and Compliance Checks
Each document undergoes validation in accordance with Peppol standards. Logiq verifies that all mandatory fields are completed, calculations are accurate, every field complies with the relevant standard, and the overall structure aligns with the most recent specifications.
5. Monitoring and Support
Once live, Logiq continuously monitors document flows and provides proactive support. You’ll have access to dashboards, alerts, and expert assistance to resolve any issues quickly.
6. Optional Enhancements
You can enable features like:
- PDF generation for visual archiving
- Multichannel delivery (email, bank e-invoice, EDI, and national networks such as TIEKE, Nemhandel, and NEA)
