Can Peppol be converted into other e-invoice formats?

Yes. A Peppol BIS or PINT document can be transformed into another electronic invoice format when the receiving system requires it.

Conversion can lose or change business meaning if the target format does not support the same fields, code lists or rules. The mapping should therefore be documented, tested and validated against the target specification. Any mandatory information missing from the source must be handled explicitly rather than invented.

Downloading sent invoices in another format with Qvalia

Qvalia stores every document as Peppol BIS Billing 3.0. Through the Transaction API, you can download an invoice or credit note you have sent in another format:

  • Peppol BIS Billing 3.0
  • XRechnung in UBL or CII syntax
  • CII
  • ZUGFeRD or Factur-X, as a PDF/A-3 with the CII XML embedded
  • Finvoice 3.0, and Finvoice 2 for invoices
  • cXML
  • EDIFACT INVOIC D.96A (EANCOM 1997)

The downloaded document must meet the target format’s own rules. An XRechnung, for example, requires a Leitweg-ID (BT-10). Downloads cover documents you have sent yourself. Details are in the API documentation.

To send invoices from a system that produces another format, see My ERP or accounting system uses other e-invoice formats. Can I still use Peppol?

Qvalia provides format transformation, including PDF-to-structured-data conversion. See the current list of supported formats and profiles.
