Why Do You Need Odoo Peppol Enhancement Module?

See how this module enhances your PEPPOL workflow

Sending Attachments

Odoo Standard

Only embeds the invoice and debit note PDF itself in the e-invoice for Peppol. Additional documents must be sent via email or other channels separately.

Odoo Peppol Enhancement

Send multiple attachments embedded directly in the PEPPOL e-invoice, e.g. delivery notes, certificates, product specifications, contracts, timesheets, and proof of delivery.

Supported formats: PDF, JPEG, PNG, XLSX, ODS, CSV, which are allowed by Peppol network.

Receiving Attachments

Odoo Standard

Only extracts PDF attachments from received PEPPOL e-invoices. All other embedded documents (images, spreadsheets, CSV) are ignored and lost.

Odoo Peppol Enhancement

Automatically imports all embedded attachments from received PEPPOL e-invoices and links them to the vendor bill record.

Supported formats: PDF, JPEG, PNG, XLSX, ODS, CSV

No notification when vendor bills arrive via PEPPOL. Your team must manually check the system to discover new invoices—easy to miss, hard to track.

Installation & Configuration

1

Prerequisites

Ensure PEPPOL is already installed and configured: Accounting → Configuration → PEPPOL Electronic Document Invoicing

✔

Done - You're All Set!

Start sending invoices with attachments via PEPPOL, and receive instant email alerts when vendor bills arrive. No complex configuration required.
Pro Tip: The 2MB file size limit is a best practice for PEPPOL network performance. We recommend consulting your PEPPOL access point provider if you need to send larger files.

Test Your PEPPOL Setup

After configuring PEPPOL Electronic Invoicing, you can verify the complete send/receive workflow by sending an e-invoice to your own company. This is an effective way to test both outbound transmission and inbound document reception, including the multi-attachment feature provided by this module.

Prerequisite: Your company must be registered as a PEPPOL Participant with a valid PEPPOL Endpoint ID (e.g., EAS 0208 for Belgian enterprises, EAS 9925 for Austrian enterprises). The PEPPOL registration must be completed and verified by Odoo before testing.
1

Create a Customer Partner for Your Own Company

Navigate to Contacts and create a new Partner representing your own company as a Customer. Configure the same PEPPOL Endpoint ID (Participant ID) that your company uses for receiving e-invoices via the PEPPOL network.

2

Create a Customer Invoice with Attachments

Go to Accounting → Customers → Invoices and create a new Customer Invoice for the Partner you just created. Confirm the invoice to post it.

3

Send via PEPPOL with Attachments

Click Send & Print and select PEPPOL as the sending method. In the send dialog, add the attachments you want for PEPPOL transmission. The e-invoice with embedded attachments will be sent through Odoo to the PEPPOL network.

4

Waiting

Waiting Odoo's cron job works and receiving e-invoice from PEPPOL network, by default the cron job will run every 4 hours, you can change the interval in the cron job settings at Settings → Technical → Scheduled Actions → PEPPOL: retrieve new documents.

✔

Test Complete - PEPPOL Workflow Verified!

Navigate to Accounting → Vendors → Bills. You should see the e-invoice you just sent, imported as a Vendor Bill with all attachments automatically linked. If the Vendor Bill contains all attachments you sent, your PEPPOL configuration is working correctly. Both outbound transmission and inbound document import with multi-attachment support are fully operational.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work with all PEPPOL access point providers?

Yes! This module follows the standard PEPPOL BIS Billing 3.0 specification and works with any compliant access point provider.

Are the attachments transferred through PEPPOL network?

Yes! This module enables Odoo to send attachments through PEPPOL network, which means all documents are transmitted via the PEPPOL infrastructure only.

Can I send multiple attachments with one invoice?

Yes, you can send as many attachments as needed in theory. All the attachments will be embedded in a single E-Invoice file. In practice, different PEPPOL access point providers have different limits. According to our experience, 10MB total is widely accepted.

What happens if my attachment is larger than the maximum file size limit?

The system will show a validation error and prevent sending until you reduce the file size or uncheck that attachment. You can configure the maximum file size in settings.

Will recipients without this module receive my attachments?

Yes! Attachments are embedded in the standard UBL XML. Any PEPPOL-compliant system can receive and process them (though they may need their own import functionality based on the PEPPOL specification).

Does this affect regular email invoice sending?

No, this only affects PEPPOL transmissions. Regular email sending in Odoo works as usual with standard attachment handling.

Can I receive multiple attachments within one invoice?

Yes! This module enables Odoo to receive multiple attachments within one invoice based on the PEPPOL specification. The attachments will be retrieved automatically and linked as attachments in Odoo.

How do the email notifications work?

When a new invoice is received via PEPPOL network, the system automatically sends an email to all configured users. The email includes invoice details (vendor, amount, date) and a direct link to view the invoice in Odoo. You can configure which users receive notifications in Settings → Accounting → PEPPOL. Each company can have different notification recipients.

Normally the notification emaill won't be send immediately, but will be added to Odoo's email queue and will be sent later. The email queue will be processed by default every hour.

Can I disable the email notifications?

Yes! Email notifications are optional. If you don't configure any notification recipients, no emails will be sent. You can enable or disable notifications at any time by adding or removing users from the notification list in Settings.
