Singapore PEPPOL-Ready e-Invoicing

The Singapore PEPPOL-Ready e-Invoicing SuiteApp lets you exchange e-documents with your Singapore customers and vendors through PEPPOL access point in Singapore: DataPost. With the SuiteApp, you can generate outbound e-documents from invoices and credit memos and then send them to the Singapore PEPPOL API (Application Programming Interface). Invoices and credit memos can be sent to Singapore government agencies (B2G). You can also receive inbound e-documents from the Singapore PEPPOL API and convert them into sales orders, vendor bills or vendor credits in NetSuite. You can also send and receive transaction responses.

Before you install the Singapore PEPPOL-Ready e-Invoicing SuiteApp, you’ll need to install the NetSuite SuiteApps License Client, Electronic Invoicing SuiteApp, and Localization Assistant SuiteApp first. The Electronic Invoicing SuiteApp is the main component for processing and exchanging electronic documents. For more information, see NetSuite SuiteApps License Client, Electronic Invoicing Overview, and Localization Assistant SuiteApp.

The Singapore PEPPOL-Ready e-Invoicing SuiteApp includes preformatted e-document templates for both outbound and inbound documents, a pre-configured sending method plug-in, plus other configuration records and scripts. For more information, see Understanding E-Document Components and Records.

Note:

Before using the SuiteApp, consider the following:

  • This SuiteApp is only for companies in Singapore—you can’t use it in other countries.

PEPPOL or the Pan-European Public Procurement OnLine, is a platform connecting businesses and agencies to exchange business documents through a secure network (https://peppol.eu/). In Singapore, the SuiteApp uses the PEPPOL standards specified at https://www.peppolguide.sg/.

PEPPOL Standard Processes

The PEPPOL standard is a template for e-invoices and credit notes on the PEPPOL network. It gives you the specifications you need to set up PEPPOL business processes.

The SuiteApp supports the following PEPPOL standards to handle e-invoice transactions:

  • Business Interoperability Specifications (BIS) Billing 3.0 specification standard

  • PEPPOL International (PINT) standard

    • PEPPOL International Singapore (PINT-SG) standard- This template standard is used to manage transactions within Singapore entities.

    • PINT Wildcard standard- This template standard is used to manage transactions between Singapore and international entities.

PEPPOL International (PINT)

The PEPPOL International (PINT) standard helps you manage and simplify international e-invoicing. Following are the key benefits of PINT standards:

  • This standard lets businesses exchange invoices internationally through the Singapore PEPPOL network.

  • It also makes cross-border invoice exchange easier, with customizations for different regions.

Note:

Transactions with Singapore government agencies (B2G) aren’t supported with the PINT SG and PINT Wildcard standards.
