FAQ
What is UBL format used for?
UBL (Universal Business Language) is used for electronic invoicing, purchase orders, and other business documents. It's required for government invoicing in many countries and is the basis for PEPPOL e-invoicing across Europe.

XRechnung can use UBL as its syntax. XRechnung is the German e-invoicing standard that follows EN 16931 rules, and it can be expressed in either UBL 2.1 or CII format. Our flow produces XRechnung-compliant UBL.
Can I use UBL for PEPPOL?
Yes, PEPPOL BIS 3.0 uses UBL 2.1 as its invoice format. Our UBL flow produces PEPPOL-ready invoices that can be transmitted through PEPPOL Access Points.
What's the difference between UBL and CII?
UBL (Universal Business Language) and CII (Cross Industry Invoice) are both valid syntaxes for EN 16931 e-invoices. UBL is more common in PEPPOL networks, while CII is often used with ZUGFeRD. Both contain the same business data.
