PEPPOL invoicing is a very comprehensive tool that allows you to send your invoices via an official government channel throughout Europe and beyond. More and more non-European countries are joining the system.
Silicon ioi provides you with relevant information to manage these invoices effectively.
Silicon ioi, PEPPOL, and GLNs
PEPPOL allows you to send highly detailed information. Silicon ioi allows you to take advantage of many of the subtleties of this standard. For example, Silicon ioi allows you to use GLN (Global Location Number) addressing in addition to the address by company number or VAT number. PEPPOL GLN addressing allows you to send the invoice to a specific department or site of your customer. This is an essential feature if your customer is a large group. Similarly, you can define GLNs for invoice receipt to ensure correct addressing within your various departments or sites.
Silicon ioi, PEPPOL, and payment bank accounts :
Another interesting feature in Silicon ioi is the ability to specify which bank account the customer should pay into. Either with several choices or a specific account. This allows, for example, invoices that must be paid via a bank factor to be managed. It should also be noted that Silicon ioi includes anti-fraud and anti-hacking security for the designation of payment bank accounts. Only bank accounts approved by management will be shown on the invoice. This provides excellent protection against embezzlement.
Silicon ioi, Invoicing without PDF:
Companies who switch to electronic invoicing are also concerned about receiving supplier invoices in the digital XML UBL 3 format without an integrated readable PDF. This poses a major control problem. The standard does not require a human-readable PDF to be attached because, for PEPPOL, only the XML file is valid. To help accountants, Silicon ioi detects cases where no PDF is included with the invoice. Silicon ioi automatically generates a human-readable PDF that is attached to the invoice. This allows for effective content control. This auto-generation feature was developed in partnership with the PEPPOL organization to ensure complete and accurate readability. Of course, Silicon ioi integrates the PDF file as standard or not. The choice is yours.
