What is InvoiceNow / Peppol?

InvoiceNow is Singapore's nationwide e-invoicing network that enables businesses to exchange invoices digitally in a structured format. Built on the Peppol framework, InvoiceNow allows invoice data to flow directly between systems, reducing manual processing and errors.

Together, InvoiceNow and Peppol support the adoption of e-invoicing in Singapore by helping businesses exchange invoices more efficiently with both other businesses and government agencies, while improving accuracy and meeting local compliance requirements.

Roadmap for the GST InvoiceNow Requirement

What's changing with InvoiceNow?

InvoiceNow is no longer limited to sending invoices and credit notes. Recent updates introduce additional requirements for selected government transactions, changing how orders, invoices, and responses are exchanged through the InvoiceNow network.

Advance Order BIS for B2G Transactions

Selected government transactions now require advance order information to be exchanged through InvoiceNow before an invoice is issued.

Beyond Invoices and Credit Notes

InvoiceNow now supports additional transaction steps, including advance order exchanges and invoice responses, instead of invoice submission alone.

Invoice Responses (Send and Receive)

Businesses may need to receive and respond to invoices through InvoiceNow, for example when invoices are accepted or rejected by the receiving party.

Additional requirements for B2G Workflows

While standard InvoiceNow processes remain unchanged for most B2B transactions, government-related workflows may involve additional exchange steps.

How e-Invoicing (InvoiceNow) Works using PEPPOL-Ready

1. Sender Creates Invoice: A business creates an electronic invoice using their accounting software or invoicing system.
2. Transmission via Access Point: The sender sends the invoice electronically through a certified Peppol Access Point. This Access Point acts as a gateway to the Peppol network.
3. Recipient Identification: The sender includes the recipient's Peppol Identifier (known as the PEPPOL ID), typically their Participant ID, within the invoice.
4. Routing to Recipient: The Access Point routes the invoice to the Peppol network, where it's directed to the recipient's Access Point based on their Peppol Identifier.
5. Recipient Receives Invoice: The recipient's Access Point receives the invoice and delivers it to the recipient's designated system for processing.
6. Processing and Payment: The recipient processes the invoice, verifies the details, and proceeds with payment as necessary. This can all be automated within the recipient's system.
7. Confirmation and Acknowledgment: Once the invoice is received and processed, the recipient's system can send back acknowledgment or confirmation messages through the Peppol network to the sender, confirming receipt and processing.
8. Completion: The invoicing process is completed electronically, without the need for manual handling of paper documents, leading to faster, more efficient transactions for both parties involved.In essence, Peppol facilitates the secure and standardized exchange of electronic documents, such as invoices, between businesses, ensuring seamless communication and streamlined processes.
