How a Peppol order flows

Each step is a structured Peppol message, so both parties work from the same data from order to invoice.

  1. Order. The buyer sends an order from a procurement system, a punchout session or the Qvalia web app.
  2. Order response. The supplier accepts, rejects or changes the order and replies with an order response.
  3. Despatch advice. The supplier tells the buyer what has been shipped and when.
  4. Invoice. The supplier creates the invoice from the order, so it carries the order reference the buyer needs for matching.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Peppol e-order?

A Peppol e-order is a purchase order sent as structured data over the Peppol network, following the Peppol BIS specifications. Buyer and supplier both need to be registered on Peppol for the order document type.

Do we need an integration to receive e-orders?

No. You can send, receive and answer Peppol orders in the Qvalia web app. For larger volumes, connect your ERP or order system through the Order API or SFTP.

Can we invoice directly from an order?

Yes. Order-to-invoice creates the invoice from the order data, so the invoice carries the buyer’s order reference. It is included from the Medium plan.

Which plans include e-ordering?

Sending and receiving Peppol orders is included in every plan from Small. Catalogues, order responses, despatch advice, order-to-invoice and API access are included from Medium. See pricing for current plan contents.

How does e-ordering relate to punchout?

Punchout lets a buyer shop in your catalogue from their own procurement system. The Peppol order that follows is handled like any other e-order. Read more about punchout.
