With module Account Invoice UBL, invoices are generated according to generic UBL rules.

In Europe, some countries use the PEPPOL 3.0 BIS standard as a more strict subset of UBL.

With this module you can specify some or all of your invoices to be generated and validated according to this stricter standard.

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 14.0

Generate customer invoices as PEPPOL 3.0 BIS compliant UBL files. You choose which invoices use the stricter PEPPOL format via a domain, and configure default tax and unit of measure for the XML.

This module extends the existing UBL invoice export so that selected invoices are produced in the stricter PEPPOL 3.0 BIS dialect instead of generic UBL. It does not add a new button; it changes how the UBL XML is built when you generate it.

In Accounting settings you get three new options: a PEPPOL domain (a filter that decides which invoices are exported in PEPPOL format, for example only customers in certain countries), a default tax to use when an invoice line has no tax, and a default unit of measure to use when a line has no unit. The domain is validated when saved, so an invalid filter is rejected.

A new menu 'PEPPOL EAS codes' under Accounting lets you maintain the list of electronic address scheme codes (EAS). Each country can be linked to one EAS code, and the partner's company registration number plus that country code form the PEPPOL endpoint identifier written into the XML. The module also adjusts the generated XML: it adds the PEPPOL customization and profile identifiers, removes fields not allowed by PEPPOL, adds endpoint identifiers, and fills in missing tax categories or tax subtotals using the configured defaults.

terminal Installation and usage

OCA documentation · Odoo 14.0

Configuration

Source · Odoo 14.0
  • Go to menu Invoicing > Configuration > Settings > Invoicing, under Electronic Invoices.
  • Formulate a domain for which invoices the dialect should become PEPPOL. By default it is [], so all UBL invoices will be PEPPOL. If you want this only for Belgian partners, then you can fill here for example: [('partner_id.country_id.code', '=', 'BE')] Or you can choose to enable this only for selected partner ids.
  • You can configure a default tax to use in case an invoice line has no tax specified. This is necessary for example in case of an NGO to satisfy business rule BR-CO-18. Any tax you choose must also have a UNECE tax type (eg. VAT) and tax category (eg. "Services outside scope of tax") defined.
  • You can configure a default unit of measure, of which the UNECE code will be used in case an invoice line has no unit or product unit. A typical default unit could be the Odoo 'unit', configured with a UNECE code of UN, XUN or C62. This is to satisfy rule BR-23.
  • Go to menu Contacts Fill the field coc_registration_number for your own company's partner record and for those partners that you want to send e-invoices to.
  • Go to menu Contacts > Configuration > Localization > Countries On any country relevant for invoice traffic, configure the correct PEPPOL EAS id. For the Netherlands, this is for example 0106, which stands for Dutch chamber of commerce number.
  • Either: make sure that every invoice has a bank account filled in; Or: make sure that your payment modes have a fixed connection to a bank account. To do the latter: Go to menu Invoicing > Configuration > Management > Payment mode Per payment model, set the field bank_account_link to fixed

Usage

Source · Odoo 14.0

In the invoice form click on button Send & Print.

If the invoice matches the configured domain for PEPPOL, the invoice will be generated and validated according to the stricter PEPPOL 3.0 BIS standard.

The validator on https://test.peppolautoriteit.nl/validate can be used to test the validity of the generated XML file. There are other online validators around as well.
