E-invoicing (Peppol) – overview and setup

From 1 January 2027 VAT payers in Slovakia must send and receive invoices as e-invoices through the Peppol network (Act No. 385/2025 Coll.). Innovanet sends and receives them through the certified access point SOFTIP Digitálny poštár (ePoštár).

  • Sending: the Send as e-invoice button on the outgoing invoice detail – see Sending an e-invoice.
  • Receiving: e-invoices from suppliers are fetched into Incoming invoices → Received e-invoices. You create an incoming invoice from them in one step – see Received e-invoices.
  1. On the Slovak Financial Administration portal (eDane), choose Innovanet s.r.o. as your e-invoicing provider.
  2. The registration arrives in ePoštár. Innovanet adds your company ID (IČO) and activates the organization.
  3. Within an hour the ePoštár organization is linked to your company in Innovanet by IČO (or by tax ID / VAT ID when the IČO does not match). The IČO is taken from Settings → Company.

You see the connection in Settings → E-invoicing: organization name, its ePoštár ID and the Peppol ID (e.g. 0245:2020123456; 0245 is the scheme for the Slovak tax ID).

Own ePoštár account

If you have your own contract with SOFTIP, switch Settings → E-invoicing to Own ePoštár account and enter:

Field Value
API key The key from ePoštár. Stored encrypted and never shown in full again (only the last 4 characters). Leave it empty on later saves to keep it.
Organization ID (orgId) Numeric ID of your organization in ePoštár.
Peppol ID Your identifier in the Peppol network, e.g. 0245:2020123456.
API address Empty = the default address. An address with "test" is the test environment without legal effect.

Test connection checks the key and whether your Peppol ID is registered in the Peppol network (SML). Only a super admin can change these settings.

Automatic fetching

With Fetch received e-invoices automatically on, Innovanet fetches new e-invoices and refreshes the status of sent ones every 15 minutes. Use Fetch e-invoices to do it at once.
