Rejection
Must rejection of a received e-invoice be communicated through Peppol?
Short answer
Slovak law does not impose a general obligation to reject every disputed received e-invoice through a special Peppol message. Distinguish a technical rejection from a commercial or substantive dispute: for the latter, contact the supplier and arrange the appropriate correction or credit note according to the reason.
Technical error
Validation or transport
It is resolved by fixing the XML or resubmitting.
Business disagreement
Price, quantity, delivery
It is dealt with with the supplier and accounting.
Peppol report
Not always mandatory
It depends on the system, agreement and supported processes.
Audit
Communication
Record the reason, status and remediation procedure.
Conclusion
Use the channel and corrective document appropriate to the reason; a commercial dispute is not automatically a technical Peppol rejection.
