What is Peppol and the 4-corner model
What is Peppol?
Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement OnLine) is an international framework for exchanging business documents electronically. Despite its European origins, it has become the global standard for government-mandated eInvoicing, now adopted by Singapore, Australia, and the UAE among others.
The 4-corner model explained
Peppol uses a standardised "4-corner" delivery model to ensure interoperability between any two businesses, regardless of which software or network provider they use.
Corner 1 — Sender (you) Your invoicing software (Wazeh360) creates the structured invoice document. Corner 2 — Your Access Point Your Access Service Provider (ASP) validates and transmits your invoice to the Peppol network. Wazeh360 handles this automatically. Corner 3 — Buyer's Access Point The buyer's ASP receives the invoice from the network and delivers it to the buyer's system. Corner 4 — Receiver (your buyer) The buyer's ERP or invoicing system receives the structured invoice, ready for automatic processing.Why this matters
The 4-corner model means:
- Any Peppol-enabled business can exchange invoices with any other, regardless of software
- Invoices are structured data, not PDFs — enabling straight-through processing
- The full delivery chain is auditable and legally binding
Peppol Participant IDs
Every business registered on the Peppol network has a Participant ID (e.g. 0088:971XXXXXXXXX for UAE). You need your buyer's Peppol ID to send directly to their system. Without it, Wazeh360 falls back to email delivery.
