All screenshots in the article were taken in the Dutch version of Nmbrs Accounting.

To receive and / or send invoices via Peppol, you must register at an Access Point. In the Netherlands, you register with your Chamber of Commerce and VAT number. When connected to the network, you can receive and send e-invoices via the secure network to the Government and other parties using Peppol.

When sending an invoice from Nmbrs Accounting, you do not need to know whether your customer is connected to the Peppol network or has changed his or her Access Point. This is automatically checked by Nmbrs Accounting.

For a detailed description of registering your company with Peppol, setting up e-invoicing or deregistering your company from Peppol see article Peppol.
