Start e-Invoicing using the PEPPOL network in Australia and New Zealand

Whether you are ready to start now or whether this is a project for some time in the future, the first thing you can do is make sure that you have the ABN’s for all your trading partners in your finance or ERP system. I’ve found that when compared to NewZealanders that Australians are already pretty good at this as ABN is both a company number and a tax number whereas in NZ they are two different numbers.
The next thing to do is to talk to your existing solution providers. If have APAY then talk to ACMO, if you have MYOB EXO then talk to your MYOB partner, if you have TechOne or Oracle or Sage or any one of dozens of other solutions partners then talk to the people you already work with. If they have a plan around Peppol that’s great. If that plan works for you and matches your timeframes, even better. However if they don’t have a plan or if their plan doesn’t work for you, or even worse they don’t know what you are talking about, then you need to find someone you can trust. I’m happy to talk with anyone irrespective of whether they are a company, a government agency, a software developer, a solution vendor, or even a competitor. If you want a vendor-neutral starting point then the ATO website is another good place to get info.
I think the important thing is to take whatever first step works for you, then take another and another, and before you know it you are most of the way there.
