&lt;p&gt;During May we added information about our &lt;strong&gt;mib:Peppol&lt;/strong&gt; product to the website &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mibforma.sk&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot; text-[#0f80db] transition&quot;&gt;www.mibforma.sk&lt;/a&gt;. This product handles the sending and receiving of invoices within SAP systems as well as the connection of non-SAP systems to our Access Point certified for the Peppol network in Slovakia.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;font-semibold text-ink&quot;&gt;SAP DRC Workshop for e-Invoicing&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On 28 May 2026, an SAP partner meeting took place at the premises of SAP Slovensko s.r.o. The topic was the SAP DRC platform for e-Invoicing. SAP Slovensko is actively working on the localisation of the solution, which is already in use in other countries in the Peppol network. In the coming days and weeks, various webinars for partners and customers will take place. We received from our colleagues an overview of the current state of the solution, the legislation and the outlook for changes and steps in the near future. The meeting featured an active, constructive discussion, with SAP answering consultants&apos; questions. In the coming weeks we expect further guidance from SAP on how to approach the solution so that every customer is ready in time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;font-semibold text-ink&quot;&gt;Launch of the test and production SMP&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During May, the Financial Administration of the Slovak Republic made available the functionality of both the test and production environments of the central SMP server (Service Metadata Publisher). This server acts as a directory of Peppol network participants registered in Slovakia. The sending Access Point reads data from the SMP server to determine where to deliver a document and whether the receiving Access Point can process the given document type. The registration of a participant is carried out by a Service Provider (Digital Postman), selected by the applicant on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://vpds.financnasprava.sk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot; text-[#0f80db] transition&quot;&gt;Financial Administration website&lt;/a&gt;. The chosen Digital Postman is automatically notified of the registration by the Financial Administration.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;font-semibold text-ink&quot;&gt;Partners&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are seeking to extend our own commercial and delivery capacities with the capacity of a partner network. As part of this, we have agreed on cooperation with long-standing SAP partner JUST IT Solutions s.r.o. We believe this step will deepen both professional expertise and the availability of the solution to further customers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;font-semibold text-ink&quot;&gt;What do we expect in June?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;text-[#0f80db] font-semibold&quot;&gt;In June we are preparing the launch of a website dedicated exclusively to electronic invoicing. &lt;/span&gt;You will find Mibforma a.s. solutions for SAP users as well as customers with other ERP and invoicing systems. &lt;span class=&quot;text-[#0f80db] font-semibold&quot;&gt;Demonstrations of the software for managing invoice sending and receiving, as well as the monitoring tool for tracking communication, will also be available.&lt;/span&gt; You will find answers to frequently asked questions about e-Invoicing and the latest news in this area. We will keep you informed about the website launch.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded></item><item><title>Newsletter 2: e-Invoice</title><link>https://www.mibpeppol.sk/en/news/newsletter-2-e-invoicing-peppol-certification/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.mibpeppol.sk/en/news/newsletter-2-e-invoicing-peppol-certification/</guid><description>April recap — events, certifications &amp; updates</description><pubDate>Thu, 30 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Dear customers,&lt;br /&gt;In the new edition of our newsletter, we bring you information about the most interesting events in the world of e-Invoicing for the month of April.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Thursday, 23 April 2026, we organised the first of our planned webinars on the topic of e-Invoicing in Slovakia. The meeting took place via Microsoft Teams. We presented our mib:Peppol solution and our service offering for implementing mandatory e-Invoicing in participants&apos; organisations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We designed this solution to be as universal as possible, covering three areas:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul class=&quot;space-y-2&quot;&gt;
  &lt;li class=&quot;flex items-start gap-2.5&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mt-1.5 h-1.5 w-1.5 shrink-0 rounded-full bg-brand&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;1 Integration of SAP systems into the Peppol network.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li class=&quot;flex items-start gap-2.5&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mt-1.5 h-1.5 w-1.5 shrink-0 rounded-full bg-brand&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;2 Integration of non-SAP invoicing systems into the Peppol network — for both SAP customers and those using other systems.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li class=&quot;flex items-start gap-2.5&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mt-1.5 h-1.5 w-1.5 shrink-0 rounded-full bg-brand&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;3 Operation of our own certified Access Point (AP) for sending documents via the Peppol network.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;mib:Peppol is built on a set of proprietary cockpits (for SAP and for AP) communicating via API interfaces. We chose a solution based on proprietary components to ensure maximum independence and flexibility.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alongside our own solution, we also offer customers the option of introducing e-Invoicing through SAP DRC implementation, whose localisation for Slovakia is currently underway at SAP.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Participants were also presented with the following topics:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul class=&quot;space-y-1.5&quot;&gt;
  &lt;li class=&quot;flex items-start gap-2.5&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mt-1.5 h-1.5 w-1.5 shrink-0 rounded-full bg-slate-300&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;legislative specifications&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li class=&quot;flex items-start gap-2.5&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mt-1.5 h-1.5 w-1.5 shrink-0 rounded-full bg-slate-300&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;basic prerequisites for use&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li class=&quot;flex items-start gap-2.5&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mt-1.5 h-1.5 w-1.5 shrink-0 rounded-full bg-slate-300&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;compatibility of solutions with customer systems&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li class=&quot;flex items-start gap-2.5&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mt-1.5 h-1.5 w-1.5 shrink-0 rounded-full bg-slate-300&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;comparison of features of our solution and SAP DRC&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li class=&quot;flex items-start gap-2.5&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mt-1.5 h-1.5 w-1.5 shrink-0 rounded-full bg-slate-300&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;comparison of business strategies, advantages and disadvantages&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The webinar, which lasted approximately two hours, was attended by more than 70 participants. In addition to providing an overview of the solution, we answered many questions, and further communication is ongoing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We completed certification, during which we successfully passed the following tests.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;space-y-3&quot;&gt;
  &lt;div class=&quot;rounded-lg bg-slate-50 px-4 py-3.5&quot;&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;font-semibold text-ink&quot;&gt;Complete PKI Migration Test Suite (G3)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;mt-1&quot;&gt;Verifies that our Access Point is fully migrated to the new Peppol G3 PKI infrastructure and can securely communicate with partners using both G2 and G3 certificates.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;div class=&quot;rounded-lg bg-slate-50 px-4 py-3.5&quot;&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;font-semibold text-ink&quot;&gt;Submission PKI Migration Test Suite (G3)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;mt-1&quot;&gt;Confirms that the Access Point can send messages via the new G3 PKI infrastructure in a unilateral outbound communication scenario.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;div class=&quot;rounded-lg bg-slate-50 px-4 py-3.5&quot;&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;font-semibold text-ink&quot;&gt;eDelivery Test Suite&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;mt-1&quot;&gt;Verifies compliance of the Access Point implementation with Peppol network specifications. In TLS grading verification we achieved the highest possible rating of A+.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;div class=&quot;rounded-lg bg-slate-50 px-4 py-3.5&quot;&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;font-semibold text-ink&quot;&gt;BIS Billing 3.0 Test Suite&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;mt-1&quot;&gt;Confirms that the Access Point correctly processes and exchanges electronic invoices according to the Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 standard.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;div class=&quot;rounded-lg bg-slate-50 px-4 py-3.5&quot;&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;font-semibold text-ink&quot;&gt;Slovakia Testing – Billing (3.0.20)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;mt-1&quot;&gt;Verifies that the Access Point correctly sends BIS Billing 3.0 documents and generates and sends Slovak TDD documents to the Financial Administration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;div class=&quot;rounded-lg bg-slate-50 px-4 py-3.5&quot;&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;font-semibold text-ink&quot;&gt;Slovakia Testing – Self-Billing (3.0.1)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;mt-1&quot;&gt;Confirms correct exchange of self-billing documents in the Peppol network and compliance with Slovak TDD reporting requirements.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have created the mib:Peppolbox web application for monitoring Peppol transfers. It also offers a clear overview of all received and sent Peppol documents passing through the Access Point (invoices, corrective invoices, SK Tax Data Document, Message Level Status). It also includes transport logs from the Access Point — complete document lifecycle, document visualisation and export in XML and PDF formats, as well as an Integration REST API.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During May we will carry out end-to-end tests of our solution in an internal testing environment and at the end of the month we will conduct pilot tests in a customer system.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As part of our partner programme, we are also building a partner ecosystem, where we are currently in discussions with the first four partners regarding cooperation on the distribution and implementation of our mib:Peppol solution.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What&apos;s new in SAP DRC — The currently communicated release date for the Slovakia solution is October 2026 for on-premise versions and November 2026 for SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud. Until the official release by SAP, you can use the detailed SAP DRC Cloud Edition documentation on BTP.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Access to the SK SMP testing environment from the Financial Administration of the Slovak Republic is currently planned for the second half, or even the end, of May 2026. The exact date has not yet been finally confirmed and will depend on the readiness of the environment on the part of the Financial Administration.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Representatives of the Financial Administration of the Slovak Republic, at a joint meeting with economic software manufacturers and so-called Digital Postmen, provided information about a planned legislative amendment by the Ministry of Finance of the Slovak Republic. This amendment would abolish the obligation to report data to the Financial Administration for every received invoice on the part of the recipient&apos;s access point. The obligation to report data to the Financial Administration would be retained only for the sender&apos;s access point.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the same time, this legislative change should abolish the obligation for property lessors (e.g., flat owners) to register in the Peppol network and receive invoices electronically.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Adoption of the legislative change is expected in autumn of this year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On 22 April 2026, representatives of Mibforma a.s. attended the 19th General Assembly of the OpenPeppol organisation. This year&apos;s General Assembly confirmed that the Peppol network is experiencing unprecedented global growth and is transforming from a European tool into a key global digital infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;space-y-4&quot;&gt;
  &lt;div&gt;
    &lt;p class=&quot;font-semibold text-ink&quot;&gt;1&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Record year 2025 in numbers&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;ul class=&quot;mt-2 space-y-1.5&quot;&gt;

      &lt;li class=&quot;flex items-start gap-2.5&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mt-1.5 h-1.5 w-1.5 shrink-0 rounded-full bg-brand&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Global reach: Among the new Peppol authorities are Slovakia, France, Nigeria, Taiwan and the UAE. The share of non-European members has grown to 30%.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li class=&quot;flex items-start gap-2.5&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mt-1.5 h-1.5 w-1.5 shrink-0 rounded-full bg-brand&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Network activity: In 2025, more than 330 million documents were exchanged (an increase of 34%).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;div&gt;
    &lt;p class=&quot;font-semibold text-ink&quot;&gt;2&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Strategic priorities and technical development&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;ul class=&quot;mt-2 space-y-1.5&quot;&gt;
      &lt;li class=&quot;flex items-start gap-2.5&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mt-1.5 h-1.5 w-1.5 shrink-0 rounded-full bg-brand&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;ViDA project (VAT in the Digital Age): Peppol is intensively preparing for new EU legislation through the ViDA pilot, in which 21 tax administrations are involved.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li class=&quot;flex items-start gap-2.5&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mt-1.5 h-1.5 w-1.5 shrink-0 rounded-full bg-brand&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;SML Insourcing: OpenPeppol is taking over management of the key infrastructure (SML) from the European Commission, thereby strengthening its independence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Our company was one of the first to be registered in the list of certified delivery service providers operating in the territory of the Slovak Republic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The customer can choose one of two solution alternatives that we can implement. For SAP ERP customers preferring the standard approach, i.e. SAP Document and Reporting Compliance, we can provide both licensing and implementation. Licensing is on an annual basis in packages of 10,000 issued and received e-documents.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the case of our solution, in addition to certification, we have implemented automatic sending and receiving of e-invoices in the Peppol network (Invoice, Credit Note including self-billing), document validation according to EN 16931 and Peppol BIS Billing 3, generation and sending of Tax Data Document (TDD) to the Slovak Financial Administration system, and sending of Message Level Status (MLS) delivery and validation confirmations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You will find the road map in the attachment to this Newsletter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On 20 April 2026 we organised a webinar at which we explained our approach to the solution and the implementation process.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The webinar covered:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul class=&quot;space-y-1.5&quot;&gt;
