Quba, Politics, Phive, Open-Source hybrid e-invoicing libraries
Jochen Stärk
Hi,
Quba
I released version 0.5 of the
e-invoice viewer Quba on July 27th, it supports displaying
PDF files and if you open a Factur-X file it will simultaneously
open a tab with the visualized XML contents. The output is still
german and it's still based on the Kosit XRechnung validation so
in particular ZF extended is incomplete but it gives an
impression. And potential error messages are now displayed and no
longer burried in the console. Fixes will work very well on
request basis, so please do report if
you have e-invoices, in particular Factur-X/ZUGFeRD files, where
not all attributes are properly displayed.
Politics
In a report
the german Federal Audit Office complained (in german)
against tax fraud and requested more digitalization measures and
the research department of the german government apparently
investigated if germany could request a waiver from the
European Commission like Italy did. Interestingly it neither
mentions the waiver
for France nor the german GOBD.
And a political party requested a VAT reporting like in Italy (which probably entails einvoice mandatorization for B2B).
One can probably summarize the overall status is that it's now
being discussed on political level.
Side notice: Saudi Arabia is apparently set to
introducing mandatory CII/UBL based B2B e-invoicing (source 1
and 2
) and some of the "requirements
are based on definitions from ISO CEN/EN 16931:2017".
Phive
Philip Helger did great work with his open-source multi-format e-invoice validator Phax, the only thing is I get some very strange error ([SAX] cvc-elt.1.a: Deklaration des Elements "rsm:CrossIndustryInvoice" kann nicht gefunden werden) when I try to embed it in some XRechnung-Hello-World-Validation-attempt, if anyone has an idea thanks for sharing, I'm kinda stuck since a couple of days (that error is not caused by the XML sample).
Open-Source hybrid e-invoicing libraries
I'm writing something RE Open-Source hybrid e-invoicing
libraries, in particular
- Konik (java and .net, ZUGFeRD 1 only, GPL).
- @GP (PHP, WITH)
- Factur-X (Python, BSD)
- Ghostscript (C++, AGPL)
- Mustang (Java, APL)
I do not yet know if, when or where it will be published but it
will most likely be available for free and if already the list is
incomplete or there is anything missing or wrong in
the text please let me know.
Thank you very much, have a nice week and kind regards
Jochen
