Global Outbound E-Invoice Router
One dispatcher that picks UBL 2.1, UN/CEFACT CII or Factur-X for every customer automatically, from the buyer country profile - and builds the outbound file for you.
Selling across borders means every customer expects a different electronic-invoice syntax. The Global Outbound E-Invoice Router removes that decision from your accounts team: it reads the buyer's country, resolves the correct wire format from a published country profile, maps your Odoo customer invoice to the EN 16931 semantic model and produces the artifact - a PEPPOL UBL 2.1 XML, a UN/CEFACT CII XML, or a hybrid Factur-X / ZUGFeRD PDF - ready to download or transmit with your own access-point credentials.
Automatic format selection per customer country
Published country profiles
Each buyer country maps to a recommended syntax based on its real framework: France and Germany receive Factur-X / ZUGFeRD, the PEPPOL members (Belgium, the Netherlands, the Nordics, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia and more) receive PEPPOL UBL, and cross-border CII markets receive UN/CEFACT CII. Over thirty countries are seeded out of the box.
Override where you need to
The routing follows a clear precedence: a per-customer pin wins first, then a company-wide policy, then the country profile, then a safe global PEPPOL-UBL fallback. Every dispatch records exactly which rule chose the format and why, so the decision is always auditable.
Three EN 16931 outputs from one data model
UBL 2.1 (PEPPOL BIS)
OASIS UBL Invoice / CreditNote with the PEPPOL BIS Billing 3.0 customization: parties, endpoint and VAT identifiers, the VAT breakdown, the legal monetary totals and every line.
UN/CEFACT CII
Cross Industry Invoice (CII D16B) at the EN 16931 conformance level - the same standard XML embedded by ZUGFeRD and Factur-X, emitted as a bare XML file where the receiver wants pure CII.
Factur-X / ZUGFeRD PDF
A hybrid PDF/A-3 carrying the CII XML as the mandated
factur-x.xml attachment, wired through the
/AF Associated-Files array with the Factur-X XMP metadata
packet - one file that is both human- and machine-readable.
Built for correctness
| EN 16931 monetary roll-up | Line extensions are summed, grouped into the VAT breakdown by rate and category, and rolled up to the document totals with half-up rounding to the cent. |
| Invoices and credit notes | Customer invoices and credit notes (with reversed-entry billing reference) are both supported in all three formats. |
| Country profile table | Seeded from the published mapping and fully editable: change a country's format or add countries the standard table omits. |
| Batch dispatch & preview | Dispatch many posted invoices at once, or probe a country to preview the format it would receive before producing anything. |
| Auto-generate on posting | Optionally generate the outbound artifact the moment a customer invoice is posted. |
| Scheduled drain | A built-in (disabled by default) cron regenerates any pending or failed dispatches in the background. |
Bring your own access point
This module generates the format your customer expects. Transmission is done with your own PEPPOL access point, Plateforme de Dematerialisation Partenaire or e-mail channel - the dispatcher never impersonates a certified device or service provider. Your identifiers and credentials stay on your own database.
Compatibility
