What monitoring obligations does Access Point have for e-invoice?
Short answer
The Access Point should be able to track the entire life cycle of the message: receipt of the document from the customer, validation, recipient search, sending, technical acceptance or failure, possible status responses and evidence for audit. It is important for the company that the postman does not only display the "sent" status, but that he can distinguish between validation, participant lookup, transport, delivery, rejection and repetition after an error.
Before shipping
XSD, EN 16931, Peppol and national rules.
Recipient search
SMP/SML lookup and document capabilities.
Delivery
Send, receive, retry and failure status.
Evidence package
Time, identifiers, status reports and technical logs.
Conclusion
A quality postman or Access Point must provide clear statuses and evidence of the e-invoice's journey, not just the technical sending of the file.
