Predefined EndpointsUAE e-invoicing regulations require a predefined, fixed endpoint instead of the recipient's real Peppol ID in three specific scenarios. In these cases, the document is not exchanged with the recipient via Peppol — it is only reported to the FTA for compliance purposes.
Note: Deemed Supply always uses its predefined endpoint regardless of the recipient's Peppol status. Exports only use the predefined endpoint when the recipient is not registered on Peppol — if they are, route to their actual Peppol ID as normal.
