EN16931
EN 16931 defines a European semantic model for electronic invoices. This module's EN16931 Standard formatter emits that model as CII XML. It does not offer a syntax switch to UBL; choose PEPPOL BIS when the next system expects the module's UBL output.
Output
| Property | Supported behavior |
|---|---|
| Model | EN 16931:2017 |
| Syntax | UN/CEFACT CII |
| Document type | XML only |
| Invoice and credit memo | Both supported |
When to use it
Use the plain EN 16931 formatter when the recipient asks for EN 16931 CII without a more specific national or network profile. If the recipient names XRechnung, ZUGFeRD, Factur-X or PEPPOL BIS, select that format instead; sharing a semantic foundation does not make their delivery contracts interchangeable.
Configure and test
- Set Default B2B Format to EN16931 Standard.
- Complete seller, buyer, payment and VAT information.
- Generate an invoice and credit memo manually.
- Run the amount-verification CLI command.
- Validate against the receiver's requirements as well as the bundled schema.
The formatter creates XML only. Customer PDF download and PDF-only email attachment do not apply to this format.
