Supported Electronic Document Formats

You can import files either by sending them to an email address monitored by Document Capture or by connecting to the Continia Delivery Network (CDN).
The table below displays a list of supported formats for each country. You'll notice that the format PEPPOL BIS 3 BILLING appears multiple times, which is because it's the standard format of the PEPPOL framework.
