1. Introduction to openPeppol and BIS
This BIS is a result of work within OpenPeppol and is published as part of the Peppol specifications.
This Peppol BIS provides a set of specifications for implementing a Peppol business process. The document is concerned with clarifying requirements for ensuring interoperability of pan-European Public eProcurement and provides guidelines for supporting these requirements and how to implement them. This Peppol BIS is based on the CEN WS/BII Profile “BII Profile 28 Ordering” CEN BII2 Profile 28, Ordering.
The purpose of this document is to describe a common format for the order and order response message in the European market, and to facilitate an efficient implementation and increased use of electronic collaboration regarding the ordering process based on these formats.
1.1. Audience
The audience for this document is organizations wishing to be Peppol enabled for exchanging electronic business documents, and/or their ICT-suppliers.
These organizations may be:
-
Service providers
-
Contracting Authorities
-
Economic Operators
-
Software Developers
More specifically it is addressed towards the following roles:
-
ICT Architects
-
ICT Developers
-
Business Experts
For further information, please see Peppol BIS common text and introduction.
2. Principles and prerequisites
This chapter describes the principles and assumptions that underlie the use of Peppol Ordering. It is based on the CEN BII2 Profile 28, Ordering
2.1. Scope
This BIS describes a process comprising a Buyer to issue an electronic order, whereby the Seller may accept the order, accept with changes or reject. In his rejection the Seller may indicate reasons, so the Buyer may issue a new order that may be acceptable. The Seller may accept the order with changes, only if in a previously concluded contract the scope of such changes was agreed. The order that is agreed upon by acceptance has the commercial and legal status of a contract.
The main activities supported by this profile are:
- Structured Ordering
-
The Order transaction should support the structured ordering of goods or services, using free text or use of identifiers. The information source of the ordered products may be a (paper or electronic) catalogue.
- Accounting
-
The ordering process must support the allocation of budgets, so the value amounts of the ordered products may be stated. The buyer may provide some information that the seller is required to place on the invoice for aiding and automation of invoice processing.
- Invoice Verification
-
The buyer may provide some information that the seller is required to place on the invoice for aiding and automation of invoice approval.
- TAX reporting
-
TAX reporting is not a general requirement on orders. In this context the term TAX is used as a generalization of taxes such as VAT, GST or Sales Tax. The level of support in orders is to
-
Enable TAX reporting in invoices by providing TAX number of buyer. As an example in case of reverse charges in EU.
-
TAX can be stated as an estimate to enable buyers to state expected value of order.
This can be helpful in automated matching of orders and invoices.
TAX information is informative and does not affect the terms of trade.
-
- Transport and delivery
-
Only limited support is in scope for transport related information, but it is recognized that the buyer needs to be able to provide some information about requested delivery location, some basic term, time and contact persons for a delivery of an order.
- Inventory
-
Supporting inventory management is not in scope, but structured orders based on catalogues can be used to automate picking at supplier warehouses.
2.2. Parties and roles
The table below gives the definitions of the parties and roles of the ordering process.
Business partners |
Description |
Customer |
The customer is the legal person or organization who is in demand of a product or service. Examples of customer roles: buyer, consignee, delivery party, debtor, contracting authority, originator. |
Supplier |
The supplier is the legal person or organization who provides a product or service. Examples of supplier roles: seller, consignor, creditor, economic operator. |
Role/actor |
Description |
Buyer |
The buyer is the legal person or organization acting on behalf of the customer and who buys or purchases the goods or services. |
Seller |
The seller is the legal person or organization acting on behalf of the supplier and who sells goods or services to the customer. |
Originator |
A person or unit that initiates an order. |
Invoicee |
A person or unit that receives the invoice (invoicee) on behalf of the customer. |
Consignee |
A person or unit to where the seller, or a despatching party on behalf of the seller, delivers the goods. |
Delivery party |
A unit to where the consignee forwards the goods. A final delivery point. |
The following diagram links the business processes to the roles performed by the Business Partners.
2.2.1. Benefit
Based on success with automation of invoicing, there is a growing interest in automation of ordering also. This approach has two dimensions: Support further automation of invoicing and using structured catalogues as basis for ordering. Implementing this BIS is an important step for many companies and government agencies towards full procurement automation.
For the sellers, the approval, picking and invoicing can be automated significantly.
For the procuring agency, approval and accounting of invoices can be automated and ordering can be structured by use of catalogues.
Other potential benefits of using this BIS are, among others:
-
Can be used by procuring agencies as step towards automation of procurement. The flexibility of the specifications allows the buyers to gradually automate and structure ordering, based on a cost/benefit approach.
-
SME can offer their trading partners the option of exchanging standardized documents in a uniform way and thereby move all orders into electronic form.
-
Large companies can implement this BIS as standardized documents for general operations and implement custom designed bi-lateral connections for large trading partners.
-
Can be used as basis for restructuring of in-house processes of orders and invoices.
-
Significant saving can be realized by the procuring agency by automating and streamlining in-house processing.
-
Significant saving can be realized by the sellers by automating and streamlining in-house processing. Linking to picking and invoicing can be improved significantly based on increased order quality, restructuring of invoice dispute resolution and shorter payment cycles.
-
For the procuring agency, invoice automation and ordering can be structured.
2.3. Interoperability
This Peppol BIS structure is based on the European Interoperability Framework 2.0 EIF. This Peppol BIS applies the Framework as follows:
- Legal Interoperability
-
-
Legal:
-
In implementations supporting public sector buyers, the use of this BIS has to be monitored in order to secure that the parties act in line with EU procurement directives.
-
-
- Organizational interoperability
-
-
Organization (Organization/Business):
-
This Peppol BIS supports B2B and B2G.
-
This Peppol BIS supports cross border, regional and domestic ordering in EU and EEA.
-
This Peppol BIS can function as a component in an EDI agreement within a trading community.
-
This Peppol BIS supports linking of business processes within the sending and receiving organization. The process of order transmission in electronic form can be linked into internal processes of both sender and receiver, which may differ for various reasons.
-
-
Organization (Process):
-
This Peppol BIS supports a set of “common business processes” that is assumed to be supported by most enterprises whether public or private. These are processes that are used widely or understood as being relevant for most companies.
-
-
- Semantic interoperability
-
-
Semantic: The set of information elements is assumed to be sufficient to support organizational business and processing requirements stated above.
-
A CORE business message:
-
Data model, a set of elements that the receiver MUST be able to process.
-
Business rules, a set of business rules that ensure a common way of processing the information elements. The rules are stated in a way that allows for automated validation of document instances. Issuers and receivers can verify that the exchanged document conforms to the rules of this BIS.
Peppol adds business rules on top of the data model to clarify certain design choices left open by the CEN WS/BII. These choices are intended to lower the implementation threshold by limiting options for implementers and thereby increase interoperability of Peppol transactions.
-
-
-
- Technical interoperability
-
-
Technical Interaction (Process and semantic implementation):
-
Binding to OASIS UBL 2.1, see UBL 2.1
-
ISO/IEC 19757-3 Schematron, for automation of document validation, see Schematron
-
-
Technical Interaction (eSignature Validation):
-
Not mandatory in this Peppol BIS. Not supported.
-
-
3. Process and typical use cases
The Ordering process includes the sending of Orders from a Buyer to a Seller and the response of the Seller.
3.1. Process flow
The Ordering process flow can be described as follows:
-
A Buyer submits an Order to the Seller requesting for delivery of goods or services
-
An Order may refer to a framework agreement for its terms and conditions; otherwise the Buyer’s terms and conditions apply.
-
An Order may contain items (goods or services) with item identifiers or items with free text description.
-
The Seller may acknowledge that the order is received.
-
The Seller may accept the Order, committing himself to the conditions stated therein by means of an Order Response transaction.
-
Alternatively, the Seller may reject the Order by means of the Order Response transaction.
-
An order rejection may contain reasons for rejection.
-
If contractually agreed, the Seller also may respond to the order, changing details that are acceptable by the Buyer.
-
If an order is accepted with change, the buyer and seller need to have an agreement between them regarding the processing of the changed order, i.e when is a contract concluded and when can the items be shipped.
-
-
If the order was accepted a contract is concluded. If the order was rejected, no contract and no residual obligations exist.
-
After the receipt of an Order Response that rejects the order, the Buyer may start a new ordering process, taking into account the reasons for the rejection by the Seller.
3.2. Process Business requirements
A seller may either:
-
Accept the Order in full
-
Reject the entire Order
-
Accept the Order partially.
-
Accept the Order with changes, if there is an agreement in place with the buyer on how to establish buyers agreement on the change.
-
There may be several Order Responses for one Order
-
One Order Response may only refer to one Order

4. Semantic datatypes
Semantic data types are used to bridge the gap between the semantic concepts expressed by the information elements and the technical implementation. The semantic data types define the allowed value domain for the content, and any additional information components (attributes) needed in order to ensure its precise interpretation.
4.1. Primitive types
Semantic data type content may be of the following primitive types. These primitive types were taken from ISO 15000-5:2014, Annex A.
| Primitive type | Definition |
|---|---|
Binary |
A set of finite-length sequences of binary digits. |
Date |
Time point representing a calendar day on a time scale consisting of an origin and a succession of calendar ISO 8601:2004. |
Decimal |
A subset of the real numbers, which can be represented by decimal numerals. |
String |
A finite sequence of characters. |
4.2. Semantic data types
The different semantic data types are described in the tables below, where various features such as attributes, format, and decimals as well as the basic type are defined for each semantic data type. They are based on ISO 15000-5:2014.
When used in an instance document, each data element will contain data. In the below tables this is identified as the “content”. Whenever a business term is used this term shall always have content and therefore the content is always mandatory.

<cbc:Name>White sauce</cbc:Name>
<!-- Code omitted for clarity -->6.6. Quantities and units
Various quantities and units can be stated in the Peppol BIS Order. These are both related to the ordering process and the logistics process.
The table below lists quantities and units in the format. To all quantities there must be a valid Unit according to the Code list.
| Element name / (Tag name) | Description |
|---|---|
Price Quantity |
Quantity related to Price. |
Order Quantity |
Quantity that is ordered, e.g. number of pieces or volume in litre . |
<cbc:Quantity unitCode="LTR">120</cbc:Quantity>
<cac:Price>
<cbc:PriceAmount currencyID="EUR">6</cbc:PriceAmount>
<cbc:BaseQuantity unitCode="LTR">1</cbc:BaseQuantity>
</cac:Price>6.7. Prices
Prices may be exchanged in the order both for products with or without item identifiers and free text orders.
If prices are not sent in the order the normal process is to do price matching during the billing process comparing prices in the Invoice to prices in the Catalogue.
Price sent is related to the articles or services within this order.
-
Prices should include allowances and/or charges but exclude TAX amounts (e.g. VAT, GST or sales tax)
<cac:Price>
<cbc:PriceAmount currencyID="EUR">30</cbc:PriceAmount>
<cbc:BaseQuantity unitCode="NAR">2</cbc:BaseQuantity>
</cac:Price>6.8. Allowances and Charges
The order transaction has elements for Allowance/charge on 2 levels.
The element cac:AllowanceCharge with sub element cbc:ChargeIndicator indicates whether the instance is a charge (true) or an allowance (false).
- The header level
-
Applies to the whole order and is included in the calculation of the order total amount (if specified).
-
Several allowances and charges may be supplied
-
Specification of TAX for allowances and charges,

8. Peppol Identifiers
Peppol has defined a Peppol Policy for identifiers, policy 8 that specifies how to use identifiers in both its transport infrastructure and within the documents exchanged across that infrastructure. It also introduces principles for any identifiers used in the Peppol environment. The policies that apply to this BIS are the following:
8.1. Profiles and messages
All messages contains ProfileID and CustomizationID. ProfileID identifies what business process a given message is part of, and CustomizationID identifies the kind of message and the rules applied.
Profiles are connected to one business process, and may contain multiple document types. Valid document instances shall contain corresponding ProfileID and CustomizationID.
| CustomizationID is a string without spaces. The list below contains spaces in CustomizationID to make them easier to read. Make sure to remove any spaces before use. |
8.2. Customization and Profile identifiers
In the table below you will find the values to be used as the specification identifier and the business process type for this profile
| Type | Element cbc:CustomizationID |
