E-Invoices in Belgium: PEPPOL Becomes Mandatory

GrandTotal offers an integration for Belgian PEPPOL services. Supported services are e-invoice.be and recommand.eu (Beta). This allows Mac users to send invoices directly from the macOS application – without manual steps.

The integration is available to users with a GrandTotal L or XL subscription. An active account with e-invoice.be or recommand.eu is also required.

How it Works

  • Select PEPPOL via e-invoice.be or PEPPOL via recommand.eu in the client
  • In the settings panel (right of the menu), enter your credentials (one-time setup):
    • e-invoice.be: API Key
    • recommand.eu: API Key and API Secret
  • If the PEPPOL-ID starts with 9925, it's sufficient to enter the VAT number in the customer field. Otherwise, enter it in the Peppol-ID field
  • Send invoices directly from GrandTotal
