ePostman is a service through which your company sends and receives electronic invoices. Instead of a PDF attached to an email, the invoice travels over a secure European network straight into your business partner’s system.
You can send an invoice from your own accounting system or issue it directly in the portal — see Issuing an invoice in the portal.
What is Peppol
Peppol is a pan-European network for exchanging business documents, invoices above all. It works like a postal network: every company connects to it through a single access point, and those access points deliver documents to each other in one shared format — regardless of which accounting system the partner uses.
What is an Access Point
An Access Point is a provider that technically connects a company to the Peppol network — it receives that company’s documents and delivers them to the partner’s Access Point. ePostman is exactly such an Access Point. When you send an invoice, we take it from your system, validate it, and deliver it to your buyer’s Access Point, which then hands it to the buyer.
Why the invoice is reported to the tax authority
Alongside delivering the invoice to the buyer, ePostman also prepares a tax data document (TDD) and sends it to the Slovak tax authority (FS SR). It is not a copy of the invoice, but a separate data record carrying its key details, which Slovak law requires for electronic invoicing. It is sent automatically — you do not have to do anything extra for it.
