PEPPOL (Pan-European Public Procurement On-Line) is an Internet-based standardized e-commerce solution designed to facilitate e-commerce transactions between the European public sector and businesses. A Peppol ID is a unique identifier used to identify and exchange e-commerce documents. It includes a country** and business identifier to ensure that relevant transaction participants can be accurately identified and contacted in cross-border transactions. By using Peppol ID, businesses and the public sector can conduct procurement and e-commerce transactions more efficiently while following uniform standards and processes.
The Peppol ID consists of two parts, the first part is the type of Peppol ID (Participant Identifier Scheme) and the second part is the value of the Peppol ID (Participant ID). For example:
The participant identifier scheme is a four-digit number that represents the type of Peppol ID, e.g. 0088 indicates that this is a Peppol ID of type GLN. The value of the Peppol ID (Participant ID) is a number or string representing the GLN number of the enterprise.
There may be restrictions in the countries supported by the Peppol ID type. Some Peppol ID types are specific to a country, such as:fti - ediforum italia, which is only allowed to be used by Italian companies. Some Peppol ID types are not subject to country restrictions, such asglobal location number, which is available to businesses worldwide.
At present, there is no Peppol ID type specifically for Chinese companies, so Chinese companies can only choose Peppol ID types that have no national restrictions.
