Definition

What is EndpointID?

In Peppol invoicing, the EndpointID identifies the recipient's "address" on the Peppol network. It tells the network where to deliver the invoice.

Structure

An EndpointID consists of:
1. schemeID: Identifies the type of identifier (e.g., 0106 for KVK)
2. ID value: The actual identifier

12345678

How It Works

When you send a Peppol invoice:
1. Your Access Point looks up the recipient's EndpointID in the SMP
2. SMP returns the recipient's Access Point address
3. Invoice is routed to that Access Point
4. Recipient's Access Point delivers to their system

Finding an EndpointID

  • Ask the recipient for their Peppol ID

  • Check the Peppol Directory

  • Look for it in the buyer's purchase order

    • XML Examples

    <cbc:EndpointID schemeID="0106">12345678</cbc:EndpointID>
