How to search a company in the Peppol directory?

Banqup makes it easy to send your invoices via the Peppol network. In order to do so, you'll need to add your Peppol customers as explained in this article.

Now, this article will show you how to make sure you're adding the right entity as your customer by searching the Peppol directory. Here's how to it:

• Search the name of the company you want to add as a customer and look for the one you're after.
• Look at the entity Participant ID → The four leading numbers (outlined in blue in the picture below) are the code indicating the type (company number, VAT number, etc.) of the identifier that follows (outlined in orange). Click here to open the reference list.
  
  
  
• Once you know the identifier type and number, you can copy it then paste it in the appropriate field in Banqup. i.e. if the code indicates that the identifier is a VAT number, you'll need to paste it in the VAT number field in your customer's profile in Banqup.

Example: in the picture above, searching Unifiedpost returned a list of companies.

The one I want to add as a customer has the 9925 identifier code. The reference list indicates that the identifier following it (0471730202) is the company's VAT number.

The value 0471730202 can be copied then pasted in the VAT number field in Banqup and the company will pop up for you to select. Clicking on it will automatically fill in the fields with your customer's data from Peppol.
