Product scope
Quotes, invoices, proformas, credit notes, recorded payments, reminders, recurring invoices, fixed-price engagements, manual purchases and receipt attachments. Reports and tax periods keep currencies separate. A period ZIP and PDF support accountant hand-off. Supported invoices can include an EPC payment QR code and a local UBL XML export.
People, teams, custom roles and guest scopes control access alongside the four built-in roles. Files keeps folders, versions and expiring share links with their related records. One production installation serves one business.
The owner can connect MCP and HTTP clients with expiring access to permitted records, exact previews and invoice drafts. MCP clients can use browser sign-in. A client can issue one prepared invoice only after the delegated person approves it in Pepper. Clients cannot send, settle or export documents, or change bank and tax settings. No model account is required.
Pepper has no bookkeeping ledger, tax filing, bank feeds or online payment processing. It has no time tracking, task boards, customer login portal or Peppol delivery. Customer-data AI suggestions remain inactive.
