# Order agreement

# Introduction

Order agreement is a document that can be described as a combination of an order and an order confirmation.

The transaction is exchanged between the seller’s order management system and the buyer’s purchasing system so that their respective systems get synchronized with the information on the purchase.

If the buyer have less formalized purchase processes (for example email or phone etc.) the information regarding these can be sent from the sellers system and feed the buyers system. This would give the buyer better status and control.

Peppol Business Interoperability Specifications (BIS) are technical specifications that can be implemented in existing eProcurement solutions and eBusiness exchange services to make them interoperable between disparate systems.

Peppol BIS defines a set of information elements (business terms) and business rules to ensure that requirements are fulfilled and to clarify any option that would otherwise be left open to implementers to decide on.

They are developed and maintained by OpenPeppol and are one of the most commonly used open standards today.
