The "European standard" is becoming stricter, the rules in "participating countries" are becoming stricter, the "Peppol rules" are becoming stricter. What does that mean? In any case, it has to do with the exchange of e-documents: electronic invoices (e-invoices), e-order, etc.
We as eConnect must and want to join these changes. This ensures that we always carry the current strict standard when e-invoicing from the platform. For invoices within the Netherlands, the NLCIUS standard is used.

What does this mean for making the e-invoice on the platform?(This list may be incomplete)

• A Dutch VAT number which is entered, must comply with the following formatting: NL123456789B01, i.e. including country code, together, and excluding points and/or other separators.
  
• [BR-NL-1] For suppliers in the Netherlands... the supplier in the invoice has not yet been activated in the platform, or manually entered / uploaded XML/modified compared to the activated own organization.

• It is not allowed to add Word or other Officer Documents to the e-invoice. To do this, you can export/"print" the relevant document to a PDF file and attach it as an attachment. However, images of the type/with the extension .png and .jpeg can be uploaded.

• [Br-cl-25] There are also two fields to fill: Organization ID and Send via. In the invoice (Organization ID) it is mandatory to mention within the Netherlands the Chamber of Commerce number (= "NL:KVK:" or "0106:") or the OINO (= "NL:OINO" or "0190:"). If the BR-CL-25 notification is given, choose from Send through for Oino. The Chamber of Commerce always consists of a continuous series of 8 digits, an OINO of a continuous series of 20 digits. If (precedented) zeros fall away, add them manually.
• It is possible that a recipient wishes to receive his invoice on a VAT number. This can be done by using the VAT number at Send.
  
  
• [Br-s-02] Check if your own VAT number has been entered with the supplier. If not, add it manually and/or add it to your organization's Details. If your organization does not have a VAT number, use the dummy value "Nl0000000b01" See for all dummy values This page).
