As a customer in Belgium, you can send electronic documents either by email (as attached files) or through the PEPPOL eDelivery Network.

Continia Document Output connects you directly to the PEPPOL eDelivery Network, eliminating the need to sign up with any third parties for integration. Once connected, you can send electronic documents to your customers in Belgium and other countries. To learn more about how to connect to the PEPPOL eDelivery Network, see Setting up the Continia Delivery Network.

To promote the general adoption of PEPPOL, the Belgian authorities mandate that all public authorities must be able to receive electronic documents through the PEPPOL eDelivery Network. Document Output supports the PEPPOL BIS 3 format, which is the latest standard.

You can also export and send electronic documents to customers in other countries. Most widespread formats are supported, but not all. For a list of supported formats, see Supported Formats.
