DSPANZ, together with the ATO and MBIE, has developed a number of industry practice statements for Peppol eInvoicing through the A-NZ
Peppol All Stakeholders Working Group.
Communicating Invoice Status
The Communication Invoice Status via Peppol Invoice Response A-NZ Industry Practice Statement aims to provide guidance for service providers to support their end user clients to communicate invoice status via the Peppol network.
This document has been developed in consultation with a broad working group which was formed as part of the A-NZ service provider
forum.
Invoice Content
The Invoice Content A-NZ Industry Practice Statement provides guidance for DSPs for both sellers and buyers for managing data to ensure buyers - particularly medium to large business and government buyers - can process eInvoices smoothly and efficiently.
Experiences using Peppol invoicing (or eInvoicing) indicate that sending only the mandatory data elements required in the PINT A-NZ Billing specific doesn't give medium to large business and government buyers enough information to be able to process and pay eInvoices.
Providing enough invoice data to support automated invoice processing is critical to achieve efficiency and savings for buyers and faster payments for sellers, which are core drivers for Peppol adoption. Beyond invoice processing automation, buyers may also require this information to support data processing, data integrity, fraud, risk and quality checks, or to support industry specific requirements such as dangerous goods labels and identification.
This industry practice statement has been developed in partnership with the Australian and New Zealand Peppol Authorities and Digital
Service Providers Australia New Zealand (DSPANZ) through consultation with the Australian and New Zealand Peppol communities.
Consistent Data Mapping
The Guidance and Recommendations for Consistent Data Mapping A-N Industry Practice Statement aims to assist with consistent interpretation and implementation of the A-NZ invoice specification.
A number of mapping questions and issues were raised and addressed by the Data Mapping focus group, which was formed as part of the A-NZ Peppol All Stakeholders Working Group and represents end users and solution providers (access points and providers of accounting solutions/ERP/FMIS).
This document has been developed by the group and includes a problem statement, a summary and recommended approach for each mapping
issue and UBL examples.
Access Point Migration and Exit
The Guidance and Recommendations for Access Point Migration and Exist A-NZ Peppol Industry Practice Statement provides guidelines and recommendations for A-NZ Peppol Service Providers, including Access Points (AP), Service Metadata Publishing (SMPs), and Business Management Software (BMS), e.g. accounting software, ERP or FMIS solution providers.
This document summarises key questions raised and discussed at the A-NZ
Peppol All Stakeholders Working Group (ASWG) focus group,
aiming to promote visibility and support end users to make informed decisions.
Attachments
The understanding and managing attachments in eInvoices and eCredit Notes A-NZ Industry Best Practice Statement aims to develop a better and shared understanding of:
- How attachments are supported with Peppol eInvoices and other eProcurement transactions
- How attachments are provided in different use cases
- The varying capabilities of solutions (including Access Point providers and end user solutions) to support attachments.
This document intends to promote visibility across the A-NZ Peppol community, promote consistent support and management of attachments in the Peppol network, and support end users to make informed decisions when implementing Peppol.
This document summarises key findings and recommendations for sending, receiving and/or managing attachments in Peppol which apply to eInvoices as well as other eProcurement transactions. The document also provides data mapping guidance for embedded attachments in Peppol eInvoices, which was proposed by the Consistent Data Mapping focus group.
