Order vs. Annex

You can go through Peppol also send the order as a structured annex to the invoice?

⚠ Machine-translated answer, not yet manually reviewed. For the exact wording, see the Slovak original.

Short answer

Not in the sense that the order was placed in the invoice as its structured annex. Network Peppol actually works as a digital mail for a number of types of business documents ♦ in addition to the invoice also for the order, order confirmation or delivery note, but each one is transferred as a separate, own structured message with its own specification, not as part of Annexes inserted directly into XML invoices.

Separate documents

Order, invoice, delivery note

Each type of document has its own Peppol specification.

Appendix of invoice (BT-125)

File Format Only

CSV, PDF, PNG, JPEG, XLSX or ODS, not structured document.

Link through BT-13

Order reference

Not putting an order in the invoice, but a reference to her number.

Difference in use

More documents vs. one Annex

The ordering process and the invoicing annex serve different purposes.

Conclusion

Peppol transmits orders also other business documents but as separate structured reports; the Annex directly on the invoice remains limited to simple file formats and is linked to the order only by reference in the field BT-13.
