Peppol self-billing

Self-billing reverses invoicing roles — the buyer creates the invoice for the supplier's delivery (common in commodity, logistics, publishing and marketplace settlements) and sends it over Peppol as a structured self-billing invoice or credit note.

Legally, self-billing requires a prior agreement between the parties and the supplier’s acceptance procedure; national VAT law sets the details. On the network it uses dedicated self-billing invoice and credit note profiles so receiving systems can distinguish them from normal invoices and route them to the right approval flow.
