Update: Compliance Alert - Planned changes for A-NZ Invoice & Self-Billing to be released May 2024
Date: 2024-04-08

Peppol has released the A-NZ Invoice & Self-Billing specifications, including validation artefacts based on BIS Billing v3.0.17. This version is currently out on member review along with Peppol PINT Billing v1.0.2 and Peppol PINT AU-NZ v1.0.1.

The May 2024 version of Peppol eProcurement BIS, which can be used in Australia and New Zealand without localization, has also been released for member review.

Furthermore, it has been announced that the regions will adopt all changes from the BIS Billing May 2024 release, which is also expected to include updates to the EN16931 schematron. For further details, see Peppol BIS Billing release notes and CEF release notes.

Below are the planned A-NZ Invoice & Self-Billing changes.

Version1.0.1 PINT A-NZ Billing and Self-Billing Process:

  • Updated aligned-ibrp-008 Invoice terms (ibg-033) must occur maximum once;
  • Renamed ibr-cl-27 to aligned-ibrp-cl-27. The Tax scheme code (ibt-167) shall be from a list of allowed tax schemes;
  • Editorial changes to BIS (see Tax Information, 3.1. A-NZ Tax Invoices);
  • EN 16931 terminology removed from Glossary;
  • Added example messages to resources.

Version 1.0.2 Peppol PINT Invoice:

  • Corrected syntax binding for IBT-185 and IBT-186;
  • EN 16931 terminology removed from Glossary;
  • Text on totals in accounting currency removed from general BIS;
  • Removed shared rule [ibr-cl-27]-The Tax scheme code (ibt-167);
  • Modified rules on cardinality for Payment terms and Payment means.

BIS Billing Version 3.0.17:

  • Update of PEPPOL-COMMON-R049, which validates identifiers using ICD/EAS 0007. The change is adding validation of the check number of a Swedish Organization number;
  • New Swedish rule (SE-R-013) for validation of the check number of a Swedish Organization number. The rule is introduced as a severity warning. All rules verifying the format of Organization numbers (SE-R-003, SE-R-004 and SE-R-013) will be changed to severity fatal in the next release;
  • Update for rule NL-R-007 (mandatory payment means): the check should not fire if the document is a credit note with a positive amount.

There are no proposed changes to the code lists at this stage. If any changes to code lists are made within BIS Billing before publication, these will be reflected in the A-NZ specifications.
