Customer Invoice and Peppol 2408 Update

[byd]

I have a few questions regarding the Peppol updates included in the What's New 2408 release:

1. Before this update, were customer invoices not compliant with Peppol standards?
2. Does the Peppol functionality depend on the country settings in Business Configuration? For example, is it available in the United States but not in China?
3. In which Workcenter View can I find the "Document Compliance Configuration"? I'm not sure where this is located.
4. In which Workcenter View can I find the "Peppol Relevant" checkbox? I'm not sure where this is located.

Thank you for your assistance.

In regards to the entry in the 2408 What's New in SAP Business ByDesign documentation.

This reffers to an enhancemet for Peppol,

Prior to Release 2408, SAP Business ByDesign did not have any setting/feature which allows the definition of Bank Accounts being used in the XML for Peppol.

All bank accounts maintained for a given company which were active and not blocked were shown in the outgoing xml payload.

With Release 2408 a the Check Box Peppol Relevant for Validating the Active Bank Account has been introduced.

You can now select the Peppol Relevant check box to validate the active bank account to be included in the customer invoice.

Go to the Liquidity Management work center.

Select the My Banks view.

Open the respective My Bank ID.

Navigate to the Bank Accounts tab and select the respective Bank Account Number.

Activate the Peppol Relevant check box in the columns.

Please note: You can make the Peppol Relevant column visible via the Adaptation mode should it not be visible.

If no Peppol Relevant check box checked in Liquidity Management-My Bank-Bank Account, then all the bank accounts will be considered for customer invoicing.

If you deselect active check box in document compliance configuration with source document type as Customer Invoice, then the Peppol Relevant check box will not be visible in Liquidity Management-My Bank-Bank Account.

Go to the Business Configuration work center.

Select the Implementation Projects view.

Select your implementation project and choose Open Activity List.

Under Fine-Tune activities, select All Activities and search for Document Compliance Configuration and open it.

The Active check box needs to be selected for 28 - Customer Invoice. 

This feature is available for all Peppol relevant countries to validate the bank accounts that need to be added in the customer invoice.

Best regards,

Kathrin
