E-Invoicing Mandate Belgium 2026 – Peppol Becomes Standard

Table of Contents

E-Rechnungspflicht Belgien 2026 Peppol Standard

The E-Invoicing Mandate Belgium 2026

Belgium is facing a decisive transformation: From January 1, 2026, companies will be required to transmit their B2B invoices exclusively in a structured format via Peppol BIS 3.0 (UBL or CII). This goes beyond the existing e-invoicing mandate in the public sector and commits fully to digital invoicing.

In March 2024, the e-invoicing requirement for invoices to public entities via Peppol was already introduced. This means the network is already actively used and serves as the backbone for the planned major launch in the private business sector.

This initiative is in the context of the EU initiative „VAT in the Digital Age“ (ViDA), which aims for standardized e-invoicing procedures. Belgium is taking a pioneering role in this regard.

Peppol B2B B2G e-invoicing mandate Belgium 2026

Legal key points at a glance

From January 1, 2026, structured electronic invoicing in the B2B sector becomes mandatory.

B2G already since March 2024: Invoices to authorities must be submitted via Peppol.

B2C remains voluntary, as do certain small-amount or tax-exempt transactions.

The goal is clear: Only structured invoices in defined Peppol format are permitted – simple PDFs or receipts lose their validity as invoices.

Technical Requirements and Network Structure

Peppol BIS 3.0 (UBL) – The Binding Standard
For implementing the e-invoicing mandate Belgium 2026, Peppol BIS 3.0 in UBL format is central. Other formats like ZUGFeRD remain permitted only by individual agreement.

Decentralized Transmission Model
Peppol works with a decentralized approach: Sender and receiver communicate via certified Access Points in the so-called „Four-Corner-System“ – Sender-AP → Network → Receiver-AP → Receiver.

Reception Obligation for Merchants and Suppliers
Companies in Belgium must not only send e-invoices by 2026, but also be able to receive and process them – a certified input channel is required.

Why This Transition Makes Sense

Efficient, Media-Break-Free Processes
With structured invoices, accounting processes can be largely automated – manual entries are eliminated, sources of error are minimized.

Digitalization and Compliance
Belgium is gearing up for integration into real-time tax reporting from 2028. E-invoices via Peppol form the technical foundation for this.

Uniform EU Standard
The ViDA initiative enables member states to specifically regulate the use of certain invoice formats. Belgium uses this basis to establish a consistently structured, EU-compliant system for electronic invoicing.

Preparation for Electronic Invoicing Belgium

From January 1, 2025, Belgium began introducing the e-invoicing mandate. During a transition phase from 2025 to 2027, this obligation will be gradually extended to more and more companies. The goal of this phased implementation is to give all parties sufficient time to adapt their systems and processes.

What You as a Company Must Do Now

Analysis of Current Systems
Check whether your ERP or financial software is already Peppol-compatible – often you only need a suitable Access Point.

Selection of the Right Access Point
Look for established partners with Peppol certification – ideally with flexible connection options (API, SFTP, etc.).

Pilot Project and Testing
Start with an MVP – establish test accounts, validate invoices, and simulate live scenarios with partners.

Training, Roll-out and Monitoring
Train your team, adapt processes, implement dashboards and reporting tools for seamless tracking.

Why Now Is Exactly the Right Time

  1. Buffer before the start: The time until the end of 2025 is ideal for test runs, training, and technical coordination.
  2. Avoid penalties: From 2026, structured invoices are mandatory – violations can result in fines.
  3. EU-compliant and future-proof: Companies position themselves optimally early for further digital requirements.
  4. Digital competitive advantage: Those who first adopt structured processes gain efficiency and experience.
  5. Possible tax incentives: EU and Belgium support investments in digitalization, often even through tax benefits.

How BESITEC Can Support You

BESITEC offers tailored support:

  • Peppol Access Point (Send & Receive) with API, SFTP and browser-based portal
  • SMP Certification: Belgium recommends using certified Peppol providers. Particularly relevant here is SMP certification (Service Metadata Publisher), which confirms that a provider manages Peppol participant data reliably and according to standards.
  • EDI Modules: b.edi for seamless ERP integration
  • b.invoice and web.invoice – modular invoicing platforms
  • Monitoring Dashboards & GoBD Archiving
  • Lean project teams: fast implementation time and agile adjustments
  • Business scaling: ideal for high invoice volumes and cross-border business

Action Plan for Getting Started

From January 1, 2026, almost all Belgian VAT-liable companies must create, receive and process structured electronic invoices (e-invoices) for domestic B2B transactions. To be ready in time, companies should initiate the following steps:

1. Review Existing Systems
Analyze whether your accounting or ERP software supports Peppol BIS 3.0 and the EU standard EN 16931.

Check compatibility with the official Mercurius portal for B2G transactions.

Determine whether updates or interface adjustments are necessary to process invoices automatically.

2. Select Suitable Software
Choose a Peppol-compliant solution from the provider lists recognized by authorities.
Clarify with your software provider whether full support for Peppol BIS 3.0 format is guaranteed by 2026.

An entry on these lists confirms that the provider meets all technical standards as well as security and compliance requirements.
For companies, this means: They can be sure that their partner is officially certified and legally secure, compatible data exchange via Peppol is guaranteed.

3. Integrate Systems
Large companies should directly connect their internal IT and financial systems to Peppol and Mercurius.
For complex requirements, collaboration with certified e-invoicing service providers is recommended to ensure compliance and smooth operations.

4. Adapt Internal Processes
Implement verification and approval workflows that ensure authenticity, completeness and readability of invoices.
Set up seamless audit trail documentation to meet legal evidence requirements.

5. Involve Partners
Coordinate early with suppliers and customers to ensure their readiness for structured e-invoices.
Agree on self-billing arrangements or other processes that meet legal requirements if necessary.

Conclusion on E-Invoicing Mandate Belgium 2026

Belgium sets new standards with the requirement for structured e-invoicing from 2026. Those who switch to Peppol early not only secure legal safety but also prepare for future EU standards and digitalization – with clear efficiency gains and tax advantages.

A competent partner like BESITEC with certified Access Point, modular platform and agile support ensures that companies stay fit for the future – without unnecessary effort.

Start now and stay ahead – with BESITEC.

Peppol E-Invoice Transmission: ZUGFeRD/Factur-X Now Supported

Peppol E-Rechnung Versand leicht gemacht Symbolbild Peppol e-invoice transmission

Peppol e-invoice transmission is becoming easier for businesses and public contractors in Germany: Since March 3, 2025, invoices in ZUGFeRD and Factur-X formats can also be sent via the Peppol network. This finally clarifies the secure and legally compliant transmission path for structured invoices – a crucial question in the context of new VAT legislation.

What is Peppol E-Invoice Transmission?

Peppol is not an invoice format, but a digital transmission network that companies worldwide can use for the secure exchange of electronic business documents. Think of Peppol like an email system – but specifically designed for structured data such as e-invoices. With Peppol e-invoice transmission, invoices are exchanged through certified Access Points, regardless of the software being used.

In Germany, Peppol is already established for sending XInvoices to government authorities. Now the scope is expanding: hybrid formats like ZUGFeRD, Factur-X, and Order-X are officially included in the Peppol document list.

Latest Updates in Peppol E-Invoice Transmission

Previously, formats like ZUGFeRD and Factur-X were not supported in the Peppol network. With the current expansion of the Peppol document type list, this has changed: Since spring 2025, Peppol e-invoice transmission for these formats is officially possible. Status messages are also supported in this process.

This provides Peppol with another legally secure option for e-invoice exchange. This is particularly relevant in light of upcoming legal requirements such as the ViDA Directive and §14 UStG.

Why Use Peppol E-Invoice Transmission?

Companies benefit from a unified, international transmission path that is not tied to specific software solutions. Peppol e-invoice transmission enables businesses to implement digital invoicing in a straightforward and compliant manner, both nationally and internationally.

Key Benefits of Peppol E-Invoice Transmission:

  • Software Independence: Works with any compatible system
  • International Standardization: Unified process across borders
  • Legal Compliance: Meets regulatory requirements
  • Secure Data Exchange: Certified Access Points ensure security
  • Future-Proof: Supports emerging formats and regulations

Supported Document Formats

The expanded Peppol document type list now includes:

    • ZUGFeRD: German hybrid invoice format
    • Factur-X: European standard based on ZUGFeRD
    • Order-X: Electronic order format
    • XInvoice: Established format for public sector
    • Status Messages: Real-time transmission confirmations

Getting Started with Peppol E-Invoice Transmission

To implement Peppol e-invoice transmission in your organization:

  1. Choose a certified Access Point provider
  2. Ensure your software supports Peppol transmission
  3. Configure document formats (ZUGFeRD, Factur-X, etc.)
  4. Test transmission with trading partners
  5. Monitor compliance with legal requirements

Future of Electronic Invoicing

With the inclusion of ZUGFeRD and Factur-X in Peppol e-invoice transmission, businesses gain greater flexibility in their digital transformation. This development aligns with broader European initiatives toward standardized electronic document exchange.

The expansion represents a significant step forward for companies looking to streamline their invoicing processes while maintaining full regulatory compliance across multiple jurisdictions.

Peppol Migration 2025 for Japan, Australia & Co.

Peppol Umstellung 2025

From September 2025, a new Peppol specification becomes mandatory in Asia. Companies should act now to ensure their e-invoicing processes remain compliant.

What Is the Peppol Migration 2025 About?

On June 11, 2025, OpenPeppol published the new version of the PINT Billing Specifications (Q2 2025 Release). This technical standard defines how electronic invoices are structured and transmitted via the Peppol network.

The key point:
From September 15, 2025, this new version becomes mandatory.
The previous release (Q4 2024) will no longer be allowed.

The migration mainly affects Service Providers – like BESITEC – who operate Peppol Access Points and process invoice data.
However, companies must ensure that their providers are compliant in time, so their invoices can still be transmitted without errors.

Which Countries Are Affected?

The mandatory change applies to the following regions in the Asia-Pacific:

This affects both local businesses and international companies with subsidiaries, customers, or suppliers in these countries.

What Will Change?

While companies may not notice major content changes in their invoices, the technical transmission in the background must be updated. Key changes include:

  • New mandatory data fields and structured formats
  • Country-specific validation rules
  • Introduction or expansion of Message Level Responses (MLR) – notifications that confirm whether an invoice was successfully delivered and processed
  • The old specification (Q4 2024 Release) will no longer be accepted after 15 Sept 2025

What Should Companies Do Now?

The technical migration is handled by the Service Providers. However, companies should take the following steps now:

  1. Check your business relationships: Do you send or receive invoices in/from one of the affected countries?
  2. Review your system landscape: Is your current Peppol provider ready for the new specification?
  3. Coordinate with your IT and providers: Clarify when and how your systems will be tested and updated.
  4. Plan ahead: Don’t wait until the last minute. Allow enough time for testing.

How BESITEC Supports You

As a certified Peppol Access Point Provider, BESITEC is fully implementing the Q2 2025 specification. Our solutions, such as b.invoice and b.edi, are already prepared for the change.

We support you with:

  • Secure transmission of e-invoices according to the new standards
  • Peppol onboarding for national and international invoice flows
  • Monitoring and validation of your invoices, including MLR notifications
  • Integration with your ERP or accounting systems

Conclusion: Be Ready Before the Deadline

The Peppol Migration 2025 is a mandatory update, not an optional feature.
Companies that want to continue sending or receiving invoices in countries like Japan, Australia, or Malaysia need to act now to ensure compliance.

Want to check if you’re affected or looking for a certified Peppol provider?

ViDA Directive: What Businesses Can Expect in 2030

ViDa Richtlinie

ViDA Directive: Unified Digital VAT Reporting Framework

The ViDA Directive („VAT in the Digital Age“) marks a major decision by the EU to modernise the VAT system. With the official adoption on March 11, 2025, the EU Commission and Member States have paved the way for a mandatory digital reporting system for intra-EU B2B transactions. For businesses, this represents a significant shift in how invoices are issued and VAT is reported.

Background: ViDA as a Response to VAT Gaps

The ViDA Directive is a direct response to existing weaknesses in the current VAT system. Delays in information flow between businesses and tax authorities, along with national exceptions, make VAT fraud prevention difficult. ViDA aims to introduce a near real-time reporting system that improves transparency in cross-border transactions within the EU.

What exactly does the ViDA Directive include?

The adopted framework outlines the following measures:

  • Introduction of a digital reporting system (Digital Reporting Requirements, DRR) for intra-EU B2B transactions
  • Mandatory electronic invoicing as the basis for VAT reporting
  • Standardisation of technical and legal specifications to ensure interoperability among Member States
  • Gradual implementation with transition periods to give businesses and tax authorities enough time to adapt

What additional measures will be introduced?

  • IOSS (Import One Stop Shop): Simplifies VAT handling for imports from non-EU countries
  • OSS (One Stop Shop): Streamlines VAT reporting for intra-EU distance sales
  • Single VAT Registration: Allows companies to register for VAT in one Member State for use across the EU
  • Reverse Charge Mechanism: Shifts VAT payment responsibility from supplier to buyer to minimise fraud
  • Platform Rules: Clarify VAT obligations for digital marketplaces

Timeline

Implementation will begin gradually from 2028. Businesses will be required to issue and report intra-EU B2B transactions electronically. The EU will provide a coordinated, standardised technical framework. As with previous digital initiatives, actual implementation will be the responsibility of individual Member States.

ViDA Directive Timeline

The Role of Peppol and EDI

Although the ViDA Directive does not prescribe a specific technical solution, the Peppol network is viewed in many countries as a potential infrastructure for electronic invoice exchange. Peppol is already well established in many B2G processes and meets key requirements: structured data, secure communication, and interoperability across participants.

Impact on Businesses

The ViDA Directive is another step toward digitising business invoicing and reporting. Especially companies engaged in cross-border trade within the EU should assess and upgrade their systems early. While ViDA introduces regulatory obligations, it also brings opportunities: more efficient processes, reduced manual errors, and improved data transparency.

Industry Perspective

For many companies—especially SMEs—the move to mandatory e-invoicing in B2B transactions will be a major shift. However, from a technical standpoint, it’s wise not to wait. Laying the foundation now is crucial. Scalable solutions such as b.edi or web.invoice can help businesses meet both national and EU-wide compliance requirements.

Sending DESADV to SAP – How to Ensure Secure & Efficient EDI Integration

Table of Content

DESADV an SAP senden – EDI-Prozessgrafik

If you want to send DESADV messages to SAP, you’ll likely ask yourself: How can I transfer shipping notifications to SAP reliably, automatically, and without media disruption? Especially when working with large customers or corporations, EDI integration (Electronic Data Interchange) is not optional – it’s a requirement.

In this article, we’ll show you how to send DESADV messages to SAP securely, what to consider, and how to avoid common pitfalls.

What is a DESADV?

DESADV stands for „Despatch Advice“—an electronic shipping notification indicating that a delivery is on its way. It includes details such as:

  • Sender and recipient
  • Delivery date
  • Quantity and contents of the shipment
  • Packaging units
  • Delivery note number

It’s often used as an EDIFACT message (type DESADV D.96A or D.01B), but XML formats like ZUGFeRD or SAP IDoc (e.g., DELVRY03) are also possible.

Why send DESADV to SAP?

 If your business partner uses SAP and is EDI-connected, they will often require a DESADV – sometimes even mandatorily. Why?

  • Automated goods receipt posting
  • Fewer errors and fewer inquiries
  • Faster processes in logistics & accounting
  • Compliance with delivery conditions (e.g. just-in-time)

Requirements for sending DESADV to SAP

To send a DESADV to SAP, you need:

  1. An EDI-capable solution connected to your ERP or inventory system
  2. A defined message format (e.g. EDIFACT, XML, IDoc)
  3. Communication channels such as AS2, X.400, or Peppol
  4. Mapping & conversion of your data to the required format
  5. A testing phase with your partner (often coordinated on the SAP side)

Process Flow – Step by Step

  1. Entry of delivery data in your system
  2. Conversion into the appropriate EDI format (e.g., DESADV D.96A)
  3. Transmission to SAP via EDI channel (e.g., AS2, X.400, Peppol)
  4. Processing in SAP: goods receipt, delivery note verification, etc.

Feedback (optional): acknowledgment or error report

Additional Considerations

In practice, many companies don’t refer to a „shipping notification“ but use terms like delivery note, delivery advice, or the English technical term Despatch Advice (DESADV). In all cases, it refers to the same EDI message that informs about the shipment of a delivery.

Especially with SAP systems, it’s common for the transmission to occur in IDoc format. The standard type DELVRY03 is particularly widespread. If your business partner uses SAP, it’s essential to know precisely which message format and version are required. At BESITEC, we support all common SAP formats—from EDIFACT and XML to SAP IDoc—and handle the appropriate mapping & conversion.

Fun Fact: Even though EDIFACT is an international standard, many SAP users internally rely almost exclusively on IDocs—the „language“ that SAP systems understand best.

No EDI System? No Problem. With our web interface web.edi, you can manually upload your delivery notes and send them to your SAP customer company—as IDoc or EDIFACT, as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions about DESADV & SAP Integration

What is an IDoc?
An IDoc (Intermediate Document) is SAP’s internal format for structured data exchange with external partners. It serves as a container for business data such as delivery information, orders, or invoices.

What does DELVRY03 mean?
DELVRY03 is a standard IDoc type for shipping and delivery data. Many SAP systems expect precisely this format when processing DESADV messages.

Do I always have to use EDIFACT?
Not necessarily. Many systems also work with XML, SAP IDoc, or even customer-specific formats. What’s crucial is what your business partner requires—we ensure that you meet all requirements. The EDIFACT standards are provided by the UNECE.

Our Tip: EDI Integration Without Headaches

At BESITEC, we support companies in implementing EDI processes like transmitting DESADV to SAP simply and reliably—whether through our b.edi solution or with the user-friendly web interface web.edi.

  • Direct SAP integration possible
  • Support for all common formats & channels
  • Scalable for single and bulk shipments
  • Support during testing & go-live

Conclusion: Sending DESADV to SAP – Easier Than You Think

EDI sounds complex—but it doesn’t have to be with the right partner. With the appropriate solution, you can send DESADV to SAP without delving deep into technical details. Whether automated from the ERP or manually via the web interface—the main thing is that your shipping notification arrives safely.

Free XML Visualizer & Validator for e-Invoices – Simple & Secure

Have you received an XML file and don’t know how to open or validate it? Don’t worry! Our free XML Visualizer allows you to easily view and validate the contents of your XML documents – no expensive software or complicated processes required.

In this post, you’ll learn what our tool can do, how it works, and why it’s the perfect solution for your needs.

What Is an XML Visualizer and Validator?

XML files are a common format, especially in electronic invoicing (e-invoices). However, many businesses and individuals lack the proper systems to open, validate, or meaningfully interpret these files. This can be frustrating, especially when receiving an e-invoice and not knowing how to interpret its content.

To save you from searching for a solution, we at BESITEC have developed a free XML Visualizer and Validator. This tool helps you view and validate XML files quickly, easily, and without any installation.

Why XML Files Can Be Challenging

An XML Visualizer displays the content of XML files in an easy-to-read structure, making it accessible even to non-technical users.

Mandatory E-Invoicing in Germany in 2025: New Regulations and Their Impact on Small Businesses

With the new tax law changes coming into effect in 2025, there are several significant adjustments that will affect businesses. The Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF) has introduced measures aimed at easing the burden on smaller companies, particularly regarding document retention periods and the B2B e-invoicing mandate. In this post, we’ll explore how these regulations could impact the day-to-day operations of businesses.

E-Rechnungspflicht in Deutschland 2025

Shorter Retention Periods: What Changes in 2025

Starting in 2025, businesses will only need to keep invoices and other tax-relevant documents for 8 years, instead of the previous 10 years. This change is designed to reduce bureaucratic burdens, especially for small businesses that may struggle to maintain a full 10-year archive. In practice, however, many businesses may find it easier to continue storing everything for 10 years, as many other documents still fall under the longer retention period.

B2B E-Invoicing Mandate: Exceptions for Small Businesses

From 2026, the e-invoicing mandate will apply in the B2B sector. However, businesses with low revenue and exempt from VAT will not be required to issue electronic invoices. These small businesses can still use paper or PDF invoices but must ensure they can receive e-invoices.

This seems like a relief, but it also presents challenges: Larger businesses will still need to handle unstructured invoices from small companies, which adds additional effort. This could also lead to small businesses being asked to issue e-invoices to keep up with digitalization.

Practical Challenges for Businesses

While the new regulations for e-invoices seem to provide simplifications for small businesses at first glance, the reality might be more complicated, especially for companies that deal with both structured and unstructured invoices. The obligation to receive e-invoices still applies, meaning businesses will likely need to switch to e-invoicing systems. This could be more work than initially expected.

Digitalization and Bureaucracy Reduction: Long-Term Impacts

These changes are a step toward reducing bureaucracy and promoting digitalization. However, it remains to be seen how these changes will impact the economy in the long term. While some businesses may benefit from these changes, others may face challenges due to additional requirements and complexity. The road to full digitalization in invoicing is not without hurdles, but it is essential to stay up-to-date with modern business processes.

For companies, this means they need to adjust their internal processes and systems in time to comply with the new regulations. Switching to digital invoicing could become a competitive factor, so it’s advisable to find a solution early to meet legal requirements and reap the benefits of digital transformation.

Conclusion: The new regulations on e-invoicing and shorter retention periods are a step in the right direction to reduce the bureaucratic burden on businesses. For smaller businesses, the exemption from the e-invoicing mandate provides relief, although this may bring additional complexity when working with larger companies. The digitalization of invoicing remains a challenge that all businesses will need to overcome to stay competitive in the long run.

Poland E-Invoicing Mandate Update

The Polish government and Ministry of Finance have announced significant updates regarding the upcoming B2B e-invoicing mandate. Initially scheduled for early 2024, the rollout was postponed to accommodate essential adjustments. A final public consultation is being held in November to ease the transition for businesses into the new regulatory framework.

Background and Adjustments

Following extensive consultations with businesses, the Ministry of Finance has introduced several changes to support companies in adopting the e-invoicing system. The goal is a phased and seamless implementation. Legislation is expected to be finalized in Q1 2025, with the mandatory e-invoicing deadlines set for 2026:

  • Large companies: From February 1, 2026, they must be capable of receiving e-invoices and, with an annual turnover above 200 million PLN (~€46 million), also issue them.
  • All other businesses: From April 1, 2026, mandatory issuance and receipt of e-invoices will apply.

This update reflects Poland’s commitment to fostering digital transformation and streamlining tax compliance processes for businesses.

Key Changes at a Glance

  • Grace Period: No penalties will be imposed until July 31, 2026.
  • Extended Grace Period for Micro-Enterprises: Very small companies with minimal revenue and low invoice amounts are exempt until September 30, 2026.
  • KSeF „Offline“ Mode: Available until December 31, 2026, enabling invoices to be submitted up to one day after issuance.
  • Attachments: Companies can now include attachments with invoices submitted to the KSeF platform.

Timeline for E-Invoicing Implementation

The Polish government has established a clear schedule for the rollout:

  • November 2024: Final public consultation
  • Q1 2025: Law enactment and publication
  • June 2025: Release of KSeF API documentation
  • September 2025: Public testing phase for KSeF begins
