We are Philippe Kimpe and Jelle Heyvaert, the authors of E-facturatie Ontcijferd. Together we wrote the book on e-invoicing and Peppol in Belgium. In addition, we maintain this website, with free tools, explanations of error codes and answers to the questions that business owners and accountants ask us most often.

How the authors of E-facturatie Ontcijferd write this content
Every explanation on this site starts from the official sources: the legal texts in the Belgian Official Gazette, the FAQ of the Federal Public Service Finance and the OpenPeppol rules on docs.peppol.eu. Moreover, we test every example of the Peppol error codes against the official rules, and our Peppol validator uses the same rules as the Access Points.
Each guide also states when we last updated it. As a result, you see right away whether the information is still current. Did you find an error or an outdated passage? Then please let us know, because we correct it as soon as possible.
The book
E-facturatie Ontcijferd is published by Borgerhoff & Lamberigts (Owl Press), ISBN 9789493429734, and is written in Dutch. The book follows the transition from start to finish: the legislation, the technology behind UBL and Peppol, the implementation for accountants and business owners, and archiving.
