Singapore Peppol Business Interoperability Specification (BIS)
Peppol Business Interoperability Specifications
(BIS) are developed in Europe for Procurement processes to standardise electronic documents
exchanged between sending and receiving Access Points (AP).
Singapore has adopted and implemented several documents
to help enterprises improve efficiency, reduce cost and stay green
by using electronic documents instead of physical documents.
BIS Specifications
SG Peppol BIS Billing 3.0
SG Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 is a Singapore extension to the European Peppol BIS Billing 3.0. The documents (Invoice & Credit Notes) are mandatory on the InvoiceNow network. Organisations can be a sender, a receiver or both.
SG Billing
Singapore has extended the European Peppol BIS 3.0 into SG Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 to cater for country specific requirements such as:
Local Tax
• Replacement of VAT(Europe) to Singapore's GST (Goods and Services Tax)
and to cater for non-GST registered businesses;
• Specific GST calculation and rounding steps for presenting amount in invoices;
• Update of GST code list values to identify the specific GST categories available for use.
Local Payment
• Singapore specific payment methods such as Direct Debit using GIRO and
Credit Transfer using Unique Entity Number (UEN) based on PayNow Corporate.
There are two specifications supported for the billing process:
1. SG Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 Invoice
2. SG Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 CreditNote
Additional BIS Documents
Singapore introduces additional e-documents (e.g. Order and Invoice Response) to support and enhance InvoiceNow network capabilities to deliver efficiency in the procurement processes.
Other Documents
Singapore has introduced various documents to the network to meet the country's requirements and assist the enterprises with the digitisation of the procurement processes.
1) SG Peppol BIS Invoice Response 3 (Same as Peppol BIS Invoice Response 3)
The Standard Invoice Response specification enables status update for invoices sent via the Peppol network instead of using manual email notification on the status of the invoices.
2) SG Peppol BIS Order Only 3 (Same as Peppol BIS Order Only 3)
The Order Only BIS enables orders to be sent through the Peppol network. The Order only BIS is a simple process with only an order document being sent from a buyer to a seller. Any response from the seller would be through other communications.
3) SG Peppol BIS Ordering 3 (Same as Peppol BIS Ordering 3)
The Ordering BIS enables orders to be sent through the Peppol network. The Ordering BIS uses the same order document to send an order from a buyer to a seller but with the addition that the seller shall send a response to the buyer to confirm, reject or modify the order.
4) SG Peppol BIS Order Agreement 3 (Same as Peppol BIS Order Agreement 3)
The Order Agreement BIS allows a seller to send an order document to the buyer. In cases when the buyer has submitted an order through a web page, by email or by telephone, This BIS enables to seller to send the order, as received, to the buyer for confirmation and for the buyers reference.
