Factur-X
Introduction
Factur-X is a hybrid electronic invoicing standard that combines:
-
A readable PDF file, intended for human reading;
-
And a structured XML file, containing all the invoicing data intended for automated processing.
This format ensures regulatory compliance while facilitating the use of data by information systems.
Configuration
To enable support for Factur-X format documents, the following configuration must be made in the Data Capture application:
- Import associated schemas: access the configuration settings to import the schemas corresponding to the available Factur-X profiles (e.g., Basic, Minimum, EN16931, etc.).
- Pre-built and customizable schemas: provided schemas are predefined with the main extraction rules that have already been integrated. However, they can be modified and adapted to the specificities of your business needs.
Field structure and nomenclature
The key path for each element follows a business nomenclature in English, based on standardized terminology (EN);
This path is enriched with its hierarchical level within the XML structure; in case of repetitive data (e.g., invoice lines), it is essential to indicate the parent element in order to respect the logic of the document's path and structure.
Data Capture Template
To facilitate visualization and debugging, the XML file associated with the invoice is accessible in the Factur-X Data tab at the bottom of your template.
