Account Invoice Factur-X

Beta License: AGPL-3 OCA/edi Translate me on Weblate Try me on Runboat

With this module, the PDF customer invoices and refunds generated by the Qweb reporting engine of Odoo will comply with the Factur-X standard. The Factur-X standard is an e-invoicing standard for France and Germany released on December 31st 2017. In Germany, it is also known as the ZUGFeRD 2.0 standard. This standard is based on CII (Cross-Industry Invoice) for electronic invoicing. The great idea of the ZUGFeRD/Factur-X standard is to embed an XML file inside the PDF invoice to carry structured information about the invoice. So, with a ZUGFeRD/Factur-X PDF invoice:

  • no need to change your habbits and those of your customers: you can still send your PDF invoices by email as usual.
  • customers equiped with a modern accouting software will be able to import the invoice automatically as supplier invoice by taking advantage of the embedded XML file,
  • customers with an ancient accounting software will just open the PDF file with their PDF reader and manually encode the document as supplier invoice in their accounting software.

Installation

WARNING: there is an alternative implementation of Factur-X in the module account_edi_ubl_cii of the official addons. If both modules are installed, the XML embedded in the PDF is the XML generated by the module account_edi_ubl_cii. To avoid that, you need to uninstall the module account_edi_ubl_cii.

This module requires a recent version of the Python library factur-x developped by Akretion. To install it, run:

pip3 install --upgrade factur-x

Configuration

In the menu Invoicing > Configuration > Settings, check the configuration parameter XML Format embedded in PDF invoice: if you want to generate Factur-X invoices, this option must be set to Factur-X (CII).
