Hi,

The access point Virginie is mentionning, with an interface to upload invoices as XML file (peppol format), is this one : https://www.billit.eu/fr-be/

I've tested the upload of invoices from Odoo V16 and it works well. I've not managed to test the download of received invoices yet.

Have a nice day,

Hello everyone,

I talked with the Odoo team responsible for PEPPOL development last Friday during the Odoo Partners Day. I also have collected information from Jacques-Etienne who have developed an alternative solution, together with a dedicated access point (paying offer). I will let him explain what it is about himself as an answer.

Here are my understanding:

1. The machine for exporting Peppol-compatible files

In v16, the invoice XML generated by Odoo (I assume CE and EE) is directly compatible and can be imported directly onto a PEPPOL access platform (without interconnection but manually). Stéphane Bidoul points out that one of Acsone's customers in Luxembourg is already using it.

This is good to know, and a good plan B if we can find an access point in Belgium that allows XML invoices to be uploaded free of charge, if we don't have a fully integrated solution by 01/01/2026.

Victor Champonnois from Coop IT Easy had found such a service that offers this, I'll let him share it here as well.


2. Odoo interconnection in combination with Odoo PEPPOL point access

This is available from v17, in community and enterprise editions. As long as it is an Odoo that is connecting to the access point, the Odoo access point will accept the connection, regardless of the Odoo version from which the connection originates.

If you want to use Odoo's peppol access point on a version lower than v17, it's possible. All you have to do is reuse the code that enables the interconnection, using the same token. Of course, there's the whole part of tracking the dispatch, dispatch status, reception, etc. to integrate. The Odoo dev team told me that they had developed Peppol on v16.3 after a major refactoring of the pdf generation and invoice sending mechanics (the window that opens when you click to send an invoice). Apparently, integrating the PEPPOL part of the code in the version before v16.3 was too cumbersome, so they opted to go ahead with v17 (v16.3 no longer exists).

Another useful tip: the team in charge of dev at Odoo told me the following: “After consultation with developers, it would seem easier to use v18 code than v17 code in order to integrate Peppol in v16 for your customers.”

3. Odoo interconnection in combination with point access proposed by Jacques-Etienne
This is a functional solution proposed by Jacques-Etienne for the SENDING part. The RECEPTION part is in progress. Using the access point in question requires a fee for setting up the structure and a fee for each transaction.

My current status is thinking if it is possible to get options 2 and 3 working together (mechanism to generate/send the invoices with Jacques-Etienne solution + connexion through the Odoo access point which is free).

Fyi, I am investigating all of this with my other job's hat (as an accountant working on Odoo for CE and EE customers below v17) together with Coop IT Easy team (where I don't work anymore) to find a solution for our common customers.

IMO this is something the OCA should look to provide as a chargeable service. Maybe AP access is cheaper in Europe, but OCA can bundle the whole thing.

Dear,

 

You need an access point. You find the list of all certified access point on https://peppol.org/members/peppol-certified-service-providers/

Odoo is on the list, but I guess only with EE. You can choose any other access point, but most are not free and there will be a small cost to write the correct connection. So maybe a small EE implementation with only the accounting app, is an elegant and cheap solution..

 

With kind regards,

 

Van Hirtum Johan

Hi Tom,

There are some modules in https://github.com/oca/edi to generate invoices in the correct format. But I think there is nothing to send the invoices through the Peppol Network.

 

Kr,

F.

I did this at some point, would it help? This is about generating PEPPOL compatible invoices.

Hello,


Does OCA have any plans to comply with the PEPPOL 2026 requirements in Belgium?


We have customers on versions 11.0, 13.0, 15.0, and 16.0, and we cannot migrate all of them before 2026.

Kind regards,
