We have changed the order in which Maventa delivers cross-border invoices to recipients in Denmark and the Faroe Islands. When the sender is not a Danish company, the Peppol network is now tried before Nemhandel (Sproom).
Danish senders are unaffected. Domestic traffic continues to go through Nemhandel (Sproom) first, then Maventa’s internal network, and then Peppol.
Why we made this change
Nemhandel is Denmark’s national infrastructure, and it remains the natural first choice for invoices sent between two Danish companies. Cross-border traffic is different: senders outside Denmark are generally already established on Peppol, and their recipients are increasingly reachable there too.
Preferring Peppol for these sends means the invoice travels over the network both parties already use, with the document format and delivery confirmations that come with it.
What this means in practice
For a sender outside Denmark invoicing a Danish or Faroese recipient:
- If the invoice carries a full Peppol endpoint ID such as
0184:31000000, Maventa looks the recipient up in Peppol first and delivers there when it finds a match. For this traffic, the Peppol lookup also takes precedence over a stored Nemhandel route in the address book. - The recipient also has to be registered in Peppol with a cross-border profile, meaning Peppol BIS Billing 3.0. Being registered with OIOUBL profiles alone is not enough — those are domestic only, so the invoice goes to Nemhandel (Sproom) instead.
- If the invoice is addressed only by a bare CVR number, nothing changes — it goes to Nemhandel (Sproom). Maventa does not add a Peppol scheme prefix to a plain CVR.
- Whenever the Peppol lookup finds no usable match, Maventa falls back to Nemhandel (Sproom) as before. Email and print remain available as final fallback routes.
Delivery is still resolved automatically. You do not need to change anything in your integration, and you can continue to force a specific route if you already do so.
To have cross-border invoices to Denmark go over Peppol, include the recipient’s full Peppol endpoint ID — for example 0184:31000000 — in the invoice XML rather than the CVR number on its own.
