PEPPOL is a technical network, but an accountant or business owner needs a simple answer: can I send the invoice, what is missing, and do I have proof of delivery?
What OnlineOffice checks before sending
OnlineOffice checks supplier and customer data, IBAN, currency, dates, invoice lines, VAT, rounding, and availability of the PEPPOL UBL output.
If something is missing, the user should see a concrete issue in the invoice editor, not a generic technical error.
Delivery infrastructure
Production PEPPOL delivery must use approved delivery infrastructure or a certified operation. For the user, the workflow should stay the same: prepare the invoice, fix missing data, send, and track status.
The app should separate technical operations from daily work. Users need clear status, event history, and safely stored outputs.
Why the audit trail matters
For eInvoices, having a file is not enough. You need to know who prepared the invoice, when it was validated, whether it was queued, sent, delivered, or rejected.
The audit trail helps with disputes, internal control, and reconstructing why an invoice was not sent or why it was rejected.
FAQ
Is peppol delivery in onlineoffice: validation, status, and audit trail legal or accounting advice?
No. OnlineOffice provides working tools and materials. Important outputs should be reviewed against the specific situation.
