Document standards
Peppol BIS 3.0 documents
Since April 18, 2019, it has been mandatory to be registered with a BIS 3.0 profile if you are using Peppol infrastructure.
The next Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 Schematron version 3.0.5 (invoice and credit note) and Peppol BIS 3.0 Schematron version 3.0.3 have been released November 1st, 2019, and will be mandatory from November 15th, 2019.
Special changes regarding invoice and credit note
It should be noted that, among other things, some changes have been made to some of the national Danish rules that have been incorporated into the Peppol BIS Billing Schematron. Thus, the rules in relation to payment have changed so that they only apply when a Danish company sends to a Danish recipient, and not when a Danish company sends to a foreign customer.
It should also be noted that the recommendation for using code to identify UNSPSC has changed from “MP” to “TST”.
Other Peppol documents
For the other documents, including order and catalogue applies the change regarding identification of UNSPSC as classification also.

General conditions about Peppol
OpenPeppol has gradually become an international standard, because it is now being used outside the EU. On the last face-to-face meeting in Brussels, the Secretary General André Hoddevik launched a new strategy for OpenPeppol with a new name and logo etc.
”OpenPeppol” and ”PEPPOL” are changed to ”Peppol” and are no longer an expression of Pan European Public Procurement OnLine, but are now an acronym for the standard.
Peppol is thus no longer just a pan-European collaboration, but an international collaboration about the exchange of business documents. Both Singapore and Australia are already active in Peppol and several other countries are on the way. This also means changes in the way the standard is designed.
A working group has been setup, which will continue to work with an international invoice format.
The work is based on a model that is trying to identify;
1. Shared elements in an invoice that everyone has a common understanding of
2. Aligned elements that have a common understanding, but are used differently e.g. VAT
3. Destinct elements, defined by individual countries.
The work is expected to be completed by the end of September 2020.
