Singapore PEPPOL-Ready e-Invoicing
The Singapore PEPPOL-Ready e-Invoicing SuiteApp lets you exchange e-documents with your Singapore customers and vendors through two PEPPOL access points in Singapore: eInvoice.sg and DataPost. Using the SuiteApp, you will be able to generate outbound e-documents from invoices and credit memos and then send them to the Singapore PEPPOL API (Application Programming Interface). Invoices and credit memos can be sent to Singapore government agencies (B2G). You can also receive inbound e-documents from the Singapore PEPPOL API and then convert them into sales orders, vendor bills or vendor credits in NetSuite. You can also send and receive transaction responses.
