BOB50 and electronic invoicing: integrating PEPPOL into your accounting software

BOB50 + PEPPOL: the winning combination for Belgian accountants

BOB50 is one of the most widely used accounting software solutions among Belgian accounting firms. With the arrival of the 2026 B2B electronic invoicing obligation, the question becomes critical: how do you connect BOB50 to the PEPPOL network to automate the processing of your clients’ invoices?

This guide explains how to integrate PEPPOL with BOB50 thanks to Digiposapp.

Why connect BOB50 to PEPPOL?

The regulatory context

Since 2024, B2G invoicing (to public administrations) is already mandatory in electronic format via PEPPOL. From 2026, the obligation extends to B2B between all Belgian businesses.

For accountants, this means:

• Receiving electronic invoices in UBL format for all your clients
• Integrating these invoices into BOB50 without manual re-entry
• Ensuring legal archiving of these documents for 7 years

Concrete benefits

With a BOB50 + PEPPOL integration via Digiposapp:

• 0% re-entry — Invoices arrive directly in BOB50 in the right format
• 70% reduction in processing time per file
• Elimination of manual entry errors
• Automatic legal compliance (UBL format, archiving, traceability)
