  • Peppol is an international network for electronic communication of business documents that facilitates senders and receivers to exchange electronic documents and reach each other effectively, mainly within the borders of EU's.

    In Sweden, Peppol is mainly used for communication with the public sector but the private sector is gradually increasing its use.

    Feel free to contact your business system supplier or operator if you want to know more about Peppol or read more here.

  • "4 corner model" is a model that identifies the 4 "corners" in a transaction of electronic business documents. Corner 1 is the sending organisation, and its operator is called corner 2. Corner 3 is the receiving operator and corner 4 is the receiving organization. Corners 1 and 2 have a business relationship and so do corners 3 and 4. The communication between corners 2 and 3 is regulated in interconnection agreements between the various operators so that everyone can communicate with everyone in a smooth way without extra costs, just the same way as the mobile phone market works.

    Peppol is also based on a "4 corner model" where the operators are called Access points and clear rules for how the communication takes place enable a smooth and secure transmission of business documents.

  • In Sweden, a sole proprietorship is identified by a personal identity number. In order not to spread personal identity numbers in the NEA eRegister, the last 4 digits are crossed out. In some cases only 3 digits are crossed out when the last digit is a checksum.

    In case you as a user find a trading partner in the register whose electronic address contains the social security number, you can figure out which numbers are crossed out by looking up your trading partner in your own business system.
