Banking Orchestrator’s Peppol module
Finologee operates a certified Peppol access point built into Finologee’s Banking Orchestrator (BKO). It runs as a software service, reachable through a secure endpoint, and it sits alongside the payment and reporting features of the platform rather than beside it as a separate tool.
The module offers:
Routing - send
Submit invoices electronically to any member of the Peppol community: government bodies, public institutions and municipalities, other businesses in Luxembourg and abroad, and, where the market supports it, consumers.
Routing - receive
Receive invoices over Peppol, giving your suppliers and counterparties a standard, structured way to invoice you, in place of paper and unstructured attachments.
Reconciliation with payments
Match invoices sent over Peppol against the payments that settle them, using the payment features of BKO, with access to virtually any bank, full reporting and advanced user and rights management.
API and web access
Connect your own systems, whether accounting, invoicing or anything else, through the Peppol API, or work directly in the web interface.
Monitoring
Oversee invoicing processes, messages and document data through the secure BKO web interfaces.
Performance and security
Run on one of Luxembourg’s leading financial platforms, operated under a Support PFS licence with a professional secrecy obligation, ISO 27001 certification for information security management and high-availability service levels.
Peppol - What is it?
Peppol is the common delivery network for issuing, transmitting and receiving electronic documents automatically. It is managed and maintained by the non-profit organisation OpenPeppol. Beyond invoices, the network carries orders, advance shipping notes and catalogues.
Finologee is a member of OpenPeppol, the official Peppol Authority for Luxembourg. Membership gives Finologee access to the European Peppol community, and to the official documentation and technical specifications governing the network.
Finologee is also a certified Peppol Service Provider for e-delivery and post-award services, having passed the official OpenPeppol certification procedures.
What can I do with the e-invoicing module?
Finologee’s Peppol access point handles document exchange with public authorities and institutions, as well as business to business and business to consumer flows. The aim is to let you transmit invoices, orders and other documents over the Peppol network more efficiently and more securely than the setups they replace.
The module’s advantages at a glance:
Standards-based documents
Send and receive structured electronic documents, both with the public sector and between businesses.
Encrypted and provable
Every exchange is encrypted, and each document carries proof of delivery and acceptance.
More than 40 countries
The network is in use across Europe, North America, Asia, Africa and Australia.
Four document types
Invoices, orders, advance shipping notes and catalogues.
Your route to compliant e-invoicing, for public sector clients and beyond.
Context
Businesses invoicing the Luxembourg public sector have had to send their invoices electronically since 2022, with the obligation phased in by company size and now covering businesses of every size. A draft law submitted to Parliament in July 2026 extends the obligation to domestic invoicing between businesses, phased from 2028 and built on the same Peppol infrastructure. Organisations already connected for their public sector invoicing are, in practice, most of the way to meeting the wider mandate.
Exclusive feature: automate invoice reconciliation with incoming payments
Because the Peppol module runs on Banking Orchestrator (BKO), it integrates directly with the platform’s core payment features. Invoices sent over the Peppol network can be mapped against the incoming payments that settle them, and invoices received against the outgoing payments that clear them. Monitoring and reconciliation of the payment process are automated, which gives you up to date oversight of payments and statuses, and makes escalation straightforward.
As with every other component of the module, reconciliation is available both through the secure web interface, with advanced user and rights management, and over API.

How does it work?
Finologee Peppol Service architecture: institutions, corporates and SMEs send and receive invoices via API, SFTP or web interface on Finologee's Tier IV, Multi-AZ, PFS compliant private cloud (EBRC), running Kubernetes on VMware vSphere. Security: application firewall, authentication, authorization, message authenticity, message integrity, encryption, audit, non-repudiation. Invoice management: simplified interfaces, conversion connectors (flat file, XML, XLS) to UBL, send invoices, invoice receipts, attachments handling, receive invoices, archiving, error handling. Peppol integration: Peppol eDelivery Network compliant (AS4), SMP provider, SML publisher, dynamic participant discovery, certificate management, UBL validation, BIS specification compliant.
- Submit your own files containing invoice or credit note data, and convert them into the official Peppol format
- Deliver electronic documents, invoices and credit notes, to any participant on the Peppol network worldwide
- Receive electronic documents from any Peppol participant
- Archive documents as proof of delivery and acceptance
As a certified Peppol access point, Finologee handles the fast and secure transfer of your invoices, in a structured format, to the recipient’s own access point.
Identity and integrity are established through digital signatures applied to each message. The recipient can verify who sent the document and confirm it has not been altered, and you receive a signed response proving the recipient has accepted it.
Simple and secure integration with your systems
You can reach the module through a secure web browser connection, or connect your existing systems using the APIs available on Finologee’s secure API portal.
Connectors are the interfaces you use to send and receive documents over the Peppol network. They convert and validate documents, so that what you send meets the Peppol specifications and what you receive can be processed by your own systems.
Simple API
The starting point for most integrations. It covers the mandatory fields of the Peppol documents, so you can meet the legal requirements quickly and without extra work.
Complete API
Where the simple API does not cover a given use case, it extends to the complete API, which gives access to every Peppol document feature.
File upload
Finologee also supports file uploads over a secure connection, in the flat file formats you already produce, including comma-separated files, Excel and plain text.
Compliant invoicing flows in a few steps
01
Upload your invoice
Upload invoice in your team’s preferred format (CSV, JSON, XML, etc…).
02
Request payment
The invoice goes out over the Peppol network to the recipient’s access point.
03
Track its status
Follow delivery, acceptance and payment.
Success story: LALUX Assurances sends its invoices over Peppol
Conceptual model of the Peppol four-corner model, sending invoice example: Lalux Assurances sends an invoice (CSV, JSON, XML, etc.) to the Finologee access point, which converts it to a UBL invoice and delivers it over the Peppol network to the Government access point, which passes it to the Government of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Both access points use the SML (Service Metadata Locator) and SMP (Service Metadata Publisher) to discover participants and routing details.
LALUX uses Finologee’s access point to send electronic invoices to the Luxembourg government, public institutions and municipalities. It connects to the Peppol network through the access point provided by Finologee’s Peppol module.
Before automating this setup, LALUX converted each invoice manually into the Peppol format using the template provided by the Luxembourg government, which took time and effort. Sending invoices is now simpler, with LALUX transmitting them over the Peppol network through Finologee.
Finologee handles:
- Conversion of the invoice files into the right format
- Identifying the access point connected to the recipient, in this case the government access point, and sending the invoice
- The receiving access point then forwards the invoice to the end recipient, here the Luxembourg government
The Peppol network uses the Peppol Business Interoperability Specification, a compliant implementation of the European e-invoicing standard.
For now, relatively few private sector businesses are connected to the network, so LALUX’s main use is sending invoices to the Luxembourg government, institutions and municipalities. As more businesses connect, they will be able to route and exchange invoices and invoicing data with each other over the same network.
