# How does MDware work with Peppol?

Info about how Peppol works within MDware

## How does MDware invoicing work with Peppol?  

First of all, check if Peppol is enabled in the settings → General invoice settings.  
Near the bottom of those settings you’ll see “Enable Peppol”.  
  
PS:When turning this on or off don’t forget to save on the top of the invoice settings!

PS:When turning this on or off don’t forget to save on the top of the invoice settings!

  
**Create an invoice** as usual using the MDware Cockpit, only this time there is an option called “**Send invoice to Peppol**”, once you complete the sale the invoice is sent through the Peppol network and standard:

You can track the **status** in the MDware app on the **invoices** overview.  
  
STATUS INFO:

  
NEW -> This will queue the peppol invoice to be sent to dokapi  
SENDING -> It's sent from the MDware but pending to be accpeted by the dockapi  
SENT -> Has been sent  
RECEIVED -> from Peppol when everything is processed from peppol..

If an invoice was not sent over the Peppol network but still needs to be, you can do this in the **MDware backoffice** on the **Invoices** screen:  
Go to the **action** button on the invoice without a Peppol Status and select **“Send to Peppol”**

**Important detail**  
Make sure your customer has a VAT number (written like **BE0000000000**) in the customer details and this customer should be on peppol as well.  
If not the “**Send invoice to Peppol**” option will be grayed out:

## Do I have to do anything else?

  
Nothing else changes in MDware invoicing for Lightspeed R-series and E-series.
