E-invoice XML

What an e-invoice XML is

Facturio creates a structured EN 16931 e-invoice XML. This machine-readable file is separate from the invoice PDF.

Create or download the XML

Save the Invoice, open it, and use the XML action under the available document actions to generate and download the file.

Attach the XML to an email

When sending a saved Invoice, select e-invoice XML in the attachment options. Facturio generates it from the saved invoice data.

Required data

• Company — company name, address, city, postal code, country, and email address.
• Customer — customer name, address, city, postal code, and country.
• Invoice — number, date, and currency.
• Items and totals — at least one item is required. Every item needs a name, quantity, price, and VAT rate. Net amount, VAT amount, and total Invoice amount are also required.

Items with 0% VAT

If at least one item has a 0% VAT rate, select or enter a valid zero-VAT type or reason before generating the XML.

Common generation errors

• The XML is not generated if the VAT calculated by VAT-rate group does not match the Invoice's total VAT amount.
• Buyer Reference and bank details can be included in the XML, but they are not required for generation.
• The XML action is available for saved Invoices. It is unavailable in the interface for Reverse Invoices and Credit Notes.
