I have an Odoo 18 database with 3 Belgian and 1 Philippines companies. I have intercompany transactions enabled. So when I confirm a sales invoice in 1 company this creates a purchase invoice in the other company.

I have now also enabled PEPPOL for my Belgian companies. Now I am wondering how inter-company transactions is supposed to interact with PEPPOL invoices. As mentioned I create a sales-invoice, the corresponding purchase invoice is also created. When I then send the sales invoice through PEPPOL, a second purchase invoice is created, which is not ideal.

I can of course disable intercompany transactions, but then this gets disabled for sales invoices created by my Philippines company as well, which cannot be sent through PEPPOL (AFAIK).

Honestly, for me this is not a big deal as the volume of inter-company transactions is quite small anyway, but I thought it was an interesting question nonetheless.

The Philippines don't seem to participate in the PEPPOL network, no. A list of all supported countries can be found here: https://www.odoo.com/documentation/18.0/de/applications/finance/accounting/customer_invoices/electronic_invoicing.html

I'd say you've got two options (or maybe just one):

  1. Inter-Company transactions are defined on a per-company basis. This means you can have your Philippines company use that feature while others don't. Based on your post these seems not entirely applicable since you seem to send and receive invoices in all directions or from/to all companies
  2. You can define - per contact - what the default mode of sending invoices should be (Tab: Accounting -> Invoice sending). When an options (other than 'by PEPPOL') is selected here, Odoo wont sent invoices to the PEPPOL network for this customer (which would be the desired configuration for your 3 companies in Belgium)

    Odoo may just tell you that the recipient could receive PEPPOL invoices:

    This by PEPPOL checkbox, when sending an invoice, could also just be manually unticked, if the frequencey of inter-company invoicing isn't too high anyways

Hi Christoph

Thank you for the extensive answer. I realize I forgot to mention an important detail: starting next year, it will be a legal requirement to send invoices between Belgian companies through PEPPOL. So disabling PEPPOL sending is not a good option.

However, your screenshot did give me a good idea: I'll just disable the inter-company invoicing altogether and send my invoices from the Philippines to Belgium through e-mail. That way they'll be created as purchase invoice automatically just the same.
