Electronic invoicing - Part 3-4: Syntax binding for UN/EDIFACT INVOIC D16B
This CEN Technical Specification (TS) contains the mapping between the semantic data model of an electronic invoice (EN 16931-1) and the following syntax: UN/EDIFACT INVOIC D16B. For each element in the semantic model (including sub-elements or supplementary componentts sucha as Code List identifiers) it is defined which element in the syntax is to be used to contain its information contents. Any mismatches between semantics, format, cardinality or structure are indicated. Any rules to be followed when using the specific syntax are stated informally in this TS. Together with this TS a set of validation artefacts is published, including formalisation of the rules.

Ta tehnična specifikacija CEN (TS) vsebuje preslikavo med semantičnim podatkovnim modelom elektronskega računa (EN 16931-1) in naslednjo sintakso: UN/EDIFACT INVOIC D16B. Za vsak element semantičnega modela (vključno s podelementi ali dodatnimi komponentami, kot so oznake elementov kodnega seznama) je opredeljen element sintakse, ki vsebuje informacije določenega elementa semantičnega modela. Kakršnakoli neskladja med semantiko, formatom, kardinalnostjo ali strukturo so navedena. Vsa pravila, ki jih je treba upoštevati pri uporabi posamezne sintakse, so neformalno navedena v tej tehnični specifikaciji. Skupaj s to tehnično specifikacijo je objavljen sklop artefaktov za potrjevanje, vključno s formalizacijo pravil.

Introduction
The European Commission estimates that “The mass adoption of e-invoicing within the EU would lead
to significant economic benefits and it is estimated that moving from paper to e-invoices will generate
savings of around EUR 240 billion over a six-year period” . Based on this recognition “The Commission
wants to see e-invoicing become the predominant method of invoicing by 2020 in Europe.”
As a means to achieve this goal, Directive 2014/55/EU [5] on electronic invoicing in public
procurement aims at facilitating the use of electronic invoices by economic operators when supplying
goods, works and services to the public administration (B2G), as well as the support for trading
between economic operators themselves (B2B). In particular, it sets out the legal framework for the
establishment and adoption of a European standard (EN) for the semantic data model of the core
elements of an electronic invoice (EN 16931-1).
In line with Directive 2014/55/EU [5], and after publication of the reference to EN 16931-1 in the
Oficial Journal of the European Union, all contracting public authorities and contracting entities in the
EU will be obliged to receive and process an e-invoice as long as:
— it is in conformance with the semantic content as described in EN 16931:1;
— it is represented in any of the syntaxes identified in CEN/TS 16931-2, in accordance with the
request referred to in paragraph 1 of article 3 of the Directive 2014/55/EU;
— it is in conformance with the appropriate mapping defined in the applicable subpart of
CEN/TS 16931-3.
The semantic data model of the core elements of an electronic invoice – the core invoice model – as
described in EN 16931-1 is based on the proposition that a limited, but sufficient set of information
elements can be defined that supports generally applicable invoice-related functionalities.
This CEN Technical Specification CEN/TS 16931-3-4 defines the binding of the core elements of the
invoice to the ISO/IEC 9735 syntax (UN/EDIFACT). Other subparts of this CEN Technical Specifications
define the binding method (CEN/TS 16931-3-1) and map the core invoice model to other syntaxes such
as ISO/IEC 19845 (UBL 2.1) (CEN/TS 16931-3-2) and the Cross Industry Invoice of UN/CEFACT XML
(CEN/TS 16931-3-3).
By ensuring interoperability of electronic invoices, the European standard and its ancillary European
standardization deliverables will serve to remove market barriers and obstacles to trade deriving from
the existence of different national rules and standards – and thus contribute to the goals set by the
European Commission

1 Scope
This CEN Technical Specification (TS) specifies the mapping between the semantic model of an
electronic invoice, included in EN 16931-1 and the ISO/IEC 9735 (UN/EDIFACT) syntax. For each
element in the semantic model (including sub-elements or supplementary components such as
Identification scheme identifiers) it is defined which element in the syntax is to be used to contain its
information contents. Any mismatches between semantics, format, cardinality or structure are
indicated.
