Info
titleAbstract

80% of the support questions relate to the access to the Mercurius Portal. The present FAQ provides the information needed to get access, or understand limitations that may impair accessibility (non-belgian citizens or companies). It is structured in 4 sections, each section addressing a specific pattern:

  • I am an administrator or manager, or fulfill a function that makes me legal representative of the company.
  • I am not a legal representative of the company, but I am in charge of outgoing invoices to the government for the company. Therefore I need to access the site.
  • I need to represent several companies.
  • I am representing a non-Belgian company.

...

  1. Identify the Chief Access Manager in your company - if any, using https://www.csam.be/app016/autocel/frontend/actions/Entrer.do?langue=fr&source=1
    1. We assume that you don't know if your company has a chief access manager appointed, and that you don't know who to ask in your company. (this is not an exceptional situation)
    2. Go to the link above
    3. Fill in your enterprise number and click next.. The site displays your company name and address.
    4. Click next again.
      1. The application informs you that your company is already registered in the system, and a Chief Access Manager is already appointed. In that case you have 2 options to identify who he/she is:
        1. Ask your company legal representative(s). He/she should know, because he/she is the only one able to appoint the companies Chief Access Manager
        2. Call the CSAM helpdesk and ask them: https://www.csam.be/en/contact.html
        3. Once you know who is your Chief Access Manager, proceed to step 3
      2. If, instead, the application prompts you to fill in data for the person that will take the Chief Access Manager role, then go to step 2
  2. Get a Chief Access Manager appointed
    1. Only a legal representative can appoint the companies Chief Access Manager
    2. He/she must go on the page https://www.csam.be/en/management-access-managers.html and follow the procedure to appoint a Chief Access Manager - preferably, the standard procedure which is fully automated.

    1. Preamble: the procedure that follows guides the companies Chief Access Manager and the (candidate) billing officer to a 3-steps workflow, that (1°) is common for all eGOV roles - so it is repeatable and manageable for the Access Manager - , and (2°)  guarantees that all candidates are truly identified, so roles cannot be appointed to the wrong person or usurped. Notice also that Access Manager can easily  revoke appointed roles whenever needed.
    2. Workflow:
      1. The Access Manager creates an invitation for the role "billing officer", and sends the invitation to the candidate
        1. Go to https://iamapps.belgium.be/rma. click "log in"
        2. Go to tab "manage invitations"



        3. Click "create a new invitation". follow the 6-step wizard, selecting the role "billing officer".



        4. Once the invitation is created, send it by mail (email address filled in) or copy the url that corresponds to the invitation and send it by manual email to the candidate

Remark: to be able to send invoices to public entities, access to the Mercurius portal is not necessary. Public entities adhere the European interoperability framework PEPPOL. This framework consists of a transnational transport infrastructure. More than 200 Access Points are available all over Europe. ICT companies develop global solutions based on this interoperability framework and transport infrastructure. A list of available Access points can be found at https://peppol.eu/who-is-who/peppol-certified-aps/. More information on PEPPOL in Belgium can be found at Belgian PEPPOL Authority.
