About this Product
EU and international firms are increasingly obliged to exchange invoices as structured EN 16931 documents over the Peppol network rather than as PDFs or emails. ERPNext core can produce a print-format invoice and a generic e-invoicing export, but it has no concept of a Peppol participant, no SMP/SML lookup, no Access Point transport, and no BIS Billing 3.0 UBL that will pass Schematron validation at the receiver. Teams end up bridging the gap with a manual portal, a third-party SaaS with per-document fees, or a spreadsheet export — none of which keep the audit trail inside ERPNext where finance actually works.
ECOSIRE builds a proper Frappe application (its own module, DocTypes, and hooks.py) that turns your ERPNext into a first-class Peppol endpoint. We map Sales Invoice (and, where in scope, credit notes and Purchase Invoice) to Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 UBL, run EN 16931 business-rule and Schematron validation before anything leaves the system, resolve the recipient's Access Point through SMP/SML participant lookup, and hand the signed payload to your chosen Access Point over AS4. A dedicated Peppol Document DocType stores the outbound/inbound payload, transmission status, message ID, and validation report, so every exchange is traceable from the invoice it belongs to.
Technically, submission is wired through on_submit doc events in hooks.py so an invoice can be queued to Peppol the moment it is submitted, with a Peppol Settings single DocType holding your participant ID, Access Point credentials, endpoint scheme, and default profile. A scheduler event polls the Access Point for inbound documents and creates draft Purchase Invoice or Peppol Document records from received UBL, mapping supplier, tax, and line data back into ERPNext. Whitelisted methods exposed over the Frappe REST API let you trigger send, re-validate, or fetch transmission status programmatically, and client scripts add a "Send to Peppol" action plus a live status indicator on the invoice form. Country-specific and PINT profiles (e.g. national CIUS layers on top of BIS) are configured per company, and role profiles / permissions restrict who can transmit or view raw payloads. It targets ERPNext and Frappe v15 and v16.
Because this is build-to-order, it starts with a scoping call, not a download. We confirm your target countries and Peppol profiles, your Access Point provider (or advise on one), the document types in scope, and your ERPNext version, then quote a fixed build. Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope. You receive the installable source for your version, installation and configuration on your environment, UAT on a staging bench with a rollback plan, documentation, a training session, and a post-go-live support window. The git repository is handed over so the code is yours to keep and extend.

- Post-go-live support window for defect fixes and configuration adjustments
- Git repository handover so the code is yours to keep, audit, and extend
- Mapping specification for your in-scope document types and country/PINT profiles
Who this is for
EU finance controller facing a Peppol mandate
Needs outbound and inbound invoices to move as compliant EN 16931 documents over Peppol without leaving ERPNext, with a clear audit trail and validation before send.
Cross-border seller with multiple country profiles
Sells into several EU markets and needs BIS Billing 3.0 plus the correct national CIUS/PINT profile applied per company and per recipient, configured once and enforced automatically.
ERPNext systems integrator or IT lead
Wants a properly built Frappe app with real DocTypes, doc-event hooks, and whitelisted API methods they can maintain and extend, not a black-box SaaS bridge or brittle export script.
Shared-service or group finance team
Processes AR/AP centrally and needs inbound Peppol documents auto-drafted into ERPNext, with role-based control over who can transmit and view raw payloads.
How Peppol Access Point Connector Compares
| Criterion | ECOSIRE | Custom Build | Competitor | ERPNext Native |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Delivery model | Build-to-order for your version, one working week from scope | In-house project, timeline depends on your team | Instant download, generic to all installs | Already in ERPNext, no Peppol features |
| Peppol BIS 3.0 / EN 16931 output | Built and validated for your in-scope documents | Must be built and maintained yourself | Often partial or one-profile only | Not supported |
| Validation before send | EN 16931 + Schematron with stored report | Only if you implement it | Varies; sometimes none | None |
| SMP/SML participant lookup | Included, resolves recipient Access Point | Build and maintain yourself | Sometimes included | Not available |
| Inbound receive into ERPNext | Scheduler polls AP, drafts Purchase Invoices | Extra scope to build | Often send-only | Not available |
| Country / PINT profiles | Configured per company for your markets | Your responsibility to add | Limited profile coverage | None |
| Code ownership | Git repo handed over, yours to extend | You own it fully | Vendor-locked, no source | N/A |
| Support and updates | Post-go-live window + optional retainer | Your team maintains it | Generic support, mandate lag | Community only |
Frequently Asked Questions about Peppol Access Point Connector
Is this a ready-made download from the Frappe marketplace?
No. This is build-to-order. ECOSIRE builds the connector for your specific ERPNext version, target countries, Peppol profiles, and Access Point provider, then installs and supports it. It is not an off-the-shelf marketplace download.
How long does delivery take?
Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope. Timing depends on the number of document types, country/PINT profiles, and your Access Point setup. We agree the exact timeline at the end of the scoping call before any build starts.
Do you provide the Peppol Access Point itself?
The connector handles document generation, EN 16931 validation, SMP/SML lookup, and the send/receive handoff, but transmission runs through a certified Access Point provider over AS4. You can bring your own Access Point, or we can recommend and help you onboard one as part of the engagement.
Which ERPNext versions are supported?
We build against ERPNext and Frappe v15 and v16. The app follows standard Frappe conventions — its own module, DocTypes, `hooks.py` doc events, scheduler events, and whitelisted API methods — so it fits cleanly into your bench and upgrade path.
How do updates and support work after go-live?
Every build includes a post-go-live support window for defect fixes and configuration adjustments. Because you receive the git repository, your team can maintain and extend the code directly, and ECOSIRE can quote ongoing support or profile updates (for new country mandates) separately.
Can it receive inbound documents, not just send?
Yes. A scheduler event polls your Access Point for inbound Peppol documents and drafts `Purchase Invoice` or `Peppol Document` records from the received UBL, mapping supplier, tax, and line data back into ERPNext for review and posting.
What happens if a document fails validation?
Documents are validated against EN 16931 business rules and Schematron before transmission. A failure is logged with a readable validation report on the `Peppol Document` record and the invoice is never sent, so non-compliant documents are caught inside ERPNext rather than rejected downstream.
