Peppol BIS 3.0 in Odoo

Odoo connects to Peppol through Access Point integrations—Storecove has native Odoo integration, or use OCA modules for other Access Points. This guide covers both paths, with specific focus on participant ID schemeID configuration and the ProfileID setting that causes PEPPOL-EN16931-R001 rejections in older module versions.

Prerequisites
  • Odoo 16.0 or later with Accounting module configured
  • Peppol Access Point subscription (Storecove recommended for easiest Odoo integration)
  • Your company Peppol Participant ID registered with your Access Point
  • For OCA path: account_invoice_peppol module from OCA GitHub repository
  • Trading partners discoverable in Peppol directory (check directory.peppol.eu)
Step-by-step setup
  1. 01

    Choose integration path: Storecove native or OCA modules

    Storecove path: Apps → search "Storecove" → Install "Storecove Peppol Integration". This is turn-key with built-in Access Point. OCA path: Download account_invoice_peppol from github.com/OCA/edi → install via Apps → Update Apps List. OCA requires separate Access Point subscription (Basware, Pagero, etc.).

  2. 02

    Configure your company Peppol Participant ID

    Settings → Companies → select company → Edit. Go to "E-Invoicing" or "Peppol" tab (depends on module). Enter your Peppol ID with correct scheme. Format: "schemeID:identifier" (e.g., "0208:0123456789" for Belgian KBO, "0106:12345678" for Dutch KVK, "0088:5412345678908" for GLN). The schemeID is critical—wrong scheme = PEPPOL-EN16931-R010/R020 error.

  3. 03

    Add customer Peppol Endpoint IDs

    Contacts → select customer → Edit → "E-Invoicing" tab. Add Peppol Participant ID with schemeID. Look up customers at directory.peppol.eu to find their registered IDs. Common schemes: 0088 (GLN), 0106 (NL KVK), 0190 (NL OIN), 0208 (BE KBO), 9925 (BE VAT), 9930 (DE VAT). If customer not in directory, they cannot receive Peppol invoices.

  4. 04

    Verify ProfileID in module configuration

    Critical for older OCA modules: Settings → Technical → System Parameters → search "peppol.profileid". Value must be "urn:fdc:peppol.eu:2017:poacc:billing:01:1.0". Older modules (pre-2022) may have outdated ProfileID causing PEPPOL-EN16931-R001 rejection. For Storecove module, this is handled automatically.

  5. 05

    Test with your own Peppol ID (loop test)

    Create customer record with YOUR company Peppol ID as the Endpoint ID. Create and send test invoice to this customer. Invoice routes through Peppol 4-corner model back to your inbox. Check Access Point dashboard for delivery confirmation. Download received XML and compare with sent. Validate with Invoice Navigator before real trading partner tests.
