Peppol PINT MY — Malaysia in the global e-invoicing network
What Peppol is, what MDEC's role is and how it differs from MyInvois.
Peppol is an international network for exchanging electronic documents between accredited service providers. The Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) acts as the Peppol Authority for Malaysia, and a Malaysian Peppol profile called PINT MY has been published. Peppol is separate from MyInvois: MyInvois is the LHDN system for tax e-invoices, while Peppol is a delivery network between businesses. Adoption details and how the two systems will connect are still developing, so follow MDEC and LHDN announcements. 4invoices is not a Peppol access point and cannot send documents on the Peppol network.

How it works
Understand the two systems. MyInvois is where taxpayers submit e-invoices for LHDN validation. Peppol delivers documents between businesses through accredited access points.
Check whether you need Peppol. If you invoice only domestic customers, the MyInvois obligation is the one that matters. Peppol may matter if a foreign or large customer asks for it.
If you do need Peppol, use an accredited access point. The provider handles the network connection and format.
Follow the PINT MY specification. It is published for Malaysia and adapts the international Peppol specification to local data.
Follow official updates. MDEC and LHDN announce how Peppol will relate to MyInvois. Do not assume a connection that has not been announced.
