Preparing Your SAP, Oracle, or ERP for Belgium E-Invoicing (API • SFTP • Portal)
Belgium is moving toward full B2B e-invoicing by January 2026, and every VAT-registered company will need to switch from PDFs to UBL e-invoices sent via the Peppol network and Mercurius platform.
This shift is part of the EU’s VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) initiative — bringing real-time tax reporting and structured, automated invoicing.
But here’s the real challenge: Most ERPs (SAP, Oracle, in-house systems) don’t have native Peppol/UBL integration, and ERP modifications are slow, costly, and risky.
Why This Mandate Matters
Mandatory UBL e-invoices for all VAT-registered companies
Standardized exchange across Peppol
Real-time validation through Mercurius
Better VAT compliance and auditability
It’s no longer about “digitizing.” It’s about full interoperability and real-time control.
Where Companies Struggle
No built-in Peppol/UBL connectors
XML/UBL mapping errors
Fragmented multi-ERP systems
Manual reconciliation with Mercurius
Confusing differences between Peppol & Mercurius
Lack of audit-ready digital trails
If one mismatched field has ever stopped an invoice… you know the pain.
