Inbound e-Invoice Import
Turn received UBL 2.1 / UN‑CEFACT CII / Factur-X e-invoices into vendor bills — automatically, with no country lock-in
Across the EU, reception of structured e-invoices is mandated before issuance — Germany since 2025, Belgium and France from 2026 under the ViDA package. Whatever your suppliers send, this module ingests the EN 16931 XML and creates a draft vendor bill with the lines, taxes and supplier already mapped. Compatible with Odoo 18 and Odoo 19.
Both EN 16931 syntaxes
A single parser reads OASIS UBL 2.1 Invoice / CreditNote (Peppol BIS 3.0, XRechnung-UBL, eSLOG, PINT and the EU national CTC formats) and UN/CEFACT CII CrossIndustryInvoice (ZUGFeRD / Factur-X and XRechnung-CII). Document or credit note, both are handled.
Factur-X / ZUGFeRD PDFs
Hybrid PDF/A-3 invoices are supported too: the embedded invoice XML is extracted straight from the PDF and parsed — no external tools or services required.
Accurate bill mapping
Header, dates, currency, lines, unit prices and per-rate VAT buckets are mapped to a draft vendor bill. The computed net and gross are reconciled against the document's own totals, and any mismatch is surfaced as an import warning instead of being silently absorbed.
Real identifier validation
Supplier VAT numbers are checked with their genuine check-digit algorithms (DE, AT, NL, IT, ES, FR, BE, PL, LU) and payment IBANs with the ISO 7064 MOD‑97 algorithm, so corrupt identifiers are caught before a new vendor record is created.
Supplier & tax matching
The vendor is matched by VAT then by name, or created from the document's party block. Each line's VAT rate is matched to an existing purchase tax; unmatched rates are flagged rather than guessed.
Inbox, wizard & cron
Drop files into the inbound inbox with full status tracking, import in one click from the upload wizard, or enable the optional hourly auto-import cron. The original XML is archived on every created bill for audit.
Disclosure
This module only reads e-invoice files you upload or place in Odoo. It does not transmit any data to external services; Peppol / AS4 network reception is handled by your access point and is out of scope.
