Electronic Invoicing FAQ

The built-in document exchange service submits electronic invoices to TradeShift, a service provider that relays electronic invoices to PEPPOL or NemHandel recipients. But the service supports a limited number of versions.

This FAQ answers some of the key questions about electronic invoicing.

Note

Note:
This FAQ page isn't related to the new E-documents app that is available in 2023 release wave 2. To learn more about the new feature, see E-Documents overview.

General

What is the problem?

The built-in support of PEPPOL uses an API provided by TradeShift. But that API does not support newer versions of PEPPOL.

Which is last version of PEPPOL supported by the TradeShift API?

The last version of PEPPOL supported by the TradeShift API is PEPPOL BIS 2.1.

Which is last version of PEPPOL supported by Business Central?

The last version of PEPPOL supported by the default version of Business Central is PEPPOL BIS 3.0. We will keep the existing document exchange service based on TradeShift running as long as TradeShift supports the current API. Additionally, we continue to support the currently supported electronic invoicing formats.

B2G requirement in Germany

What about the B2G requirement in Germany?

For Business Central users that have customers in the German government and need B2G invoicing, as of November 27, 2020, they must send invoices in local formats, such as XRechnung or ZUGFeRD. This will be supported by apps such as the Belware XRechnung, or Pagero E-Invoicing.
