Are the XML files in the ZIP exactly the files that passed through the Peppol network?

The ZIP contains the document itself (Invoice or CreditNote) as the supplier issued it; the SBDH transport envelope the network adds around the document is not packed, because neither accounting programs nor our import read it. If you need the exact bytes of the transport including the envelope, download the transport original (SBDH) from the invoice detail; the MLS delivery receipt of the document is there too.

Why are some documents missing in the ZIP?

Only documents with stored XML go into the ZIP. If the company has the Data archive switched off, the content of a document (the original XML and the preview) is irreversibly deleted after the set period, 14 days by default, configurable from 1 to 90 days separately for received and sent; the number, date, status, amounts and delivery receipt remain in the portal. If there is not a single document with XML in the chosen period, the export ends with a message and a wider period or the CSV helps. You switch the Data archive on in the company detail.

Is this export enough for the statutory archiving of invoices?

The duty to keep invoices for 10 years under § 76 of the VAT Act is yours as the taxable person. The originals from this export are suitable for it: they are legally binding e-invoices, not previews. With the Data archive on we also keep them in a data centre in the EU for the whole cooperation and you can download or export them again at any time; without the archive you have to download them before the deletion period expires.

Can I send an XML from the export through Peppol again?

Yes, your own sent invoice, for example when the customer has registered in the network in the meantime. On the Send e-invoice page open the Send by file tab, choose UBL XML (Peppol BIS 3.0) and upload the file; it is sent unchanged, the portal only checks that your company is the supplier and that the totals in the file match the lines. The file must not be wrapped in an SBD envelope and the whole XML must be under 2 MB. A received invoice cannot be sent this way, it belongs to another supplier.

Does my accounting program load UBL XML directly?

Not every one. That is why the Exports section has, next to the originals, the formats of accounting programs (POHODA, MK-soft, MRP-K/S, Money S3, Money S4, KROS OMEGA, KROS ALFA plus, PROLUC) and ISDOC, which the program imports directly. Keep the original XML for your archive and for any disputes about delivery.

How much does it cost?

The connection is free. The service costs from €2/month excl. VAT per company ID (IČO) that sends or has the Data archive switched on; receiving with the archive off is free (up to 1,000 invoices a month). During the voluntary period before the mandate of 1 January 2027 everything is free of charge.

Original XML of e-invoices for download (.zip)

Export + import

An e-invoice is an XML document; the PDF is only its preview. In the Exports section you can download at any time the originals of all received and sent documents of your company in one ZIP: the Invoice or CreditNote document itself, as the supplier issued it and as it passed through the Peppol network, without the SBDH transport envelope, one file per document in the prijate and odoslane folders. Whether the original is available depends on the Data archive setting of your company: with the archive on we keep it for the whole cooperation, without the archive the content of the document is deleted after the set period.

How it works

1Sign in and open Exports in the left menu. Choose the company, the direction of documents (Received and sent, Received only, Sent only) and, if you like, a period From date and To date; without dates everything is exported.
2In the Universal formats section click Download on the Original XML (.zip) card. You get the file peppol-doklady-xml.zip.
3Unpack it: the prijate folder holds the received and the odoslane folder the sent documents, each as a separate XML named by the invoice number (with an identical number the second file gets the suffix -2, -3 and so on). Store the files in your archive or hand them to your accountant.
4An individual document can also be downloaded from its detail: the original XML, the transport original with the SBDH envelope (the exact bytes that passed through the network) and the MLS delivery receipt as proof of delivery.
5Selected documents only: in the list of received or sent invoices tick the documents and download the XML for that selection in the bulk-actions bar (at most 500 documents at once). The same ZIP is returned by the export.zip endpoint of the portal API with an API token.

What the integration solves

✓One XML file per document, named by the invoice number, in the prijate and odoslane folders
✓The Invoice or CreditNote document itself as the supplier issued it, without the SBDH transport envelope; this is the shape accounting programs and our UBL XML import read
✓The transport original with the SBDH envelope and the MLS delivery receipt of an individual document are downloaded from the invoice detail
✓Filter by company, direction and period, or export only the ticked documents from the invoice list (at most 500 at once)
✓With the Data archive on we keep the originals in the EU for the whole cooperation; without the archive the content of the document is deleted after the set period (14 days by default, 1 to 90 days per direction)
✓Your own sent invoice from the export can be sent through Peppol again on the Send by file tab as UBL XML, without changing the content
