Peppol BIS 3.0 in AFAS

AFAS Software integrates with the Peppol network for sending electronic invoices across the Netherlands and Belgium. This guide covers configuring Peppol delivery, registering participant IDs, and handling common transmission issues.

Prerequisites

  • AFAS Online environment with e-invoicing capability enabled
  • Peppol participant ID (registered through AFAS or your Access Point)
  • Customer Peppol identifiers (KvK, OIN, or Belgian enterprise number)
  • Administrator access to configure e-invoicing settings

Step-by-Step Setup

1

Enable Peppol in AFAS environment

Contact AFAS support or your AFAS consultant to enable Peppol functionality for your environment. AFAS handles the Peppol Access Point registration on your behalf using your KvK or enterprise number.

2

Configure customer Peppol identifiers

In CRM > Organisations, add the Peppol identifier for each customer you want to reach via Peppol. Dutch companies: KvK number (scheme 0106) or OIN (scheme 0190). Belgian companies: enterprise number (scheme 0208).

3

Set Peppol as delivery method

For each customer, configure Peppol as the preferred invoice delivery method. AFAS will route invoices through the Peppol network when the customer has a valid Peppol registration.

4

Test and monitor delivery

Send a test invoice to a known Peppol recipient. Monitor the delivery status in the e-invoicing overview. AFAS reports delivery success, pending, or failure with error details.
