What is the difference between the verification of the Financial Administration and KYC at the e-invoicing delivery-service provider?
Short answer
Verification on the side of the Financial Administration and KYC with the e-invoicing delivery-service provider are not the same. The selection or registration of the provider in the Financial Administration environment determines which certified delivery service provider or intermediary will provide the e-invoice for the entity. KYC at the postman is a business and security process of the provider: verification of the client's identity, authorization to act on behalf of the company, contracts, contacts, access and risks. One does not replace the other.
Choice of provider
You verify who will be technically and contractually involved in the delivery.
Client verification
The postman checks who you are and who can act for the company.
Technical traceability
Participant ID must be properly published and support documents.
Users and Tokens
Who sees the documents, who sends and who manages the API.
Conclusion
Verification by the Financial Administration, KYC at the postman and technical registration in the Peppol infrastructure are three different layers. All must be seated for functional receiving and sending.
