Peppol integration for SAP Business Network
Feature ID

NG-1403

Feature Description

Buyers in Ariba Network can now receive invoices from suppliers who are registered on Peppol Network.
Ariba Network enables buyers to create and register their profile at Peppol Network using SAP Peppol Access Point. A unique Peppol ID is created for each profile which then can be shared with the supplier to exchange documents. Additionally, you can publish the Peppol ID in Peppol directory so that other Peppol registered suppliers can also identify the buyer in the network.

Customer Problem

In a growing number of countries, the Peppol infrastructure is the recommended or required infrastructure for document exchange to and from public entities. Ariba Network customers (buyers) may fall under one of the Peppol mandates or may want to benefit from the Peppol infrastructure to send and receive electronic invoices in the Peppol supported UBL standard.

Customer Value Proposition

The feature provides buyers a Peppol connection through the Ariba Network using the SAP Peppol access point. It allows buyers to receive electronic invoices from their suppliers already using Peppol to transfer electronic invoices. Buyers can leverage the Ariba Network to fulfil Peppol mandates and lower supplier adoption barriers.
