Electronic invoicing - Part 1: Semantic data model of the core elements of an electronic invoice
***Access to this CEN and SIST technical publication has been sponsored by the European Commission.***
This European Standard establishes a semantic data model of the core elements of an electronic invoice. The semantic model includes only the essential information elements that an electronic invoice needs to ensure legal (including fiscal) compliance and to enable interoperability for cross-border, cross sector and for domestic trade. The semantic model may be used by public and private sector organizations for public procurement invoicing. It may also be used for invoicing between private sector enterprises.
This European Standard complies at least with the following criteria:
- it is technologically neutral;
- it is compatible with relevant international standards on electronic invoicing;
- it has regard to the need for personal data protection in accordance with Directive 95/46/EC [4], to a ‘data protection by design’ approach and to the principles of proportionality, data minimization and purpose limitation;
- it is consistent with the relevant provisions of Directive 2006/112/EC [2];
- it allows for the establishment of practical, user-friendly, flexible and cost-efficient electronic invoicing systems;
- it takes into account the special needs of small and medium-sized enterprises as well as of sub-central contracting authorities and contracting entities;
- it is suitable for use in commercial transactions between enterprises.

Elektronsko izdajanje računov - 1. del: Semantični podatkovni model ključnih elementov za elektronski račun
***Dostop do te tehnične publikacije CEN in SIST je omogočila Evropska komisija.***
Ta evropski standard določa semantični podatkovni model ključnih elementov za elektronski račun. Semantični model vključuje samo bistvene informacije, ki jih mora elektronski račun vsebovati, da je skladen z zakonskimi (in davčnimi) zahtevami ter da omogoča interoperabilnost pri čezmejnem, medsektorskem in domačem poslovanju. Semantični model lahko uporabljajo organizacije v javnem in zasebnem sektorju pri izdajanju računov za javna naročila. Uporabljajo ga lahko tudi podjetja v zasebnem sektorju za izdajanje računov drugim podjetjem.
Ta evropski standard je skladen vsaj z naslednjimi kriteriji:
– je tehnološko nevtralen;
– je skladen z ustreznimi mednarodnimi standardi za izdajanje elektronskih računov;
– upošteva potrebo po varstvu osebnih podatkov v skladu z direktivo 95/46/ES [4], načrtovalni pristop, ki predvideva sisteme za varstvo podatkov v sami zasnovi izdelka, ter načela sorazmernosti, zmanjševanja podatkov in omejitve namena;
– je skladen z ustreznimi določbami Direktive 2006/112/ES [2];
– omogoča uvajanje praktičnih, uporabniku prijaznih, prilagodljivih in stroškovno učinkovitih sistemov za izdajanje elektronskih računov;
– upošteva posebne potrebe malih in srednje velikih podjetij ter javnih naročnikov na podcentralni ravni in drugih naročnikov;
– je primeren za uporabo pri komercialnih transakcijah med podjetji.

1 In preparation. SIST EN 16931-1:2017
EN 16931-1:2017 (E) 7 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”2 . Based on this recognition “The Commission wants to see e-invoicing become the predominant method of invoicing by 2020 in Europe.” To achieve this goal, Directive 2014/55/EU [1] 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. The Directive sets out the legal framework for the establishment and use of a European Standard (EN) for the semantic data model of the core elements of an electronic invoice. The semantic data model of the core elements of an electronic invoice – the core invoice model – as described in this document is based on the proposition that a quite limited, but sufficient set of information elements can be defined that supports generally applicable invoice-related functionalities. These functionalities are described in Clause 5. The core invoice model, as described in Clause 6, contains information elements that are commonly used and accepted including those that are legally required. It is expected that in most situations, business partners would use the core invoice model exclusively and the invoices they send or receive would not contain any additional structured information elements. However, in some sectors or situations where there are specific information requirements, the required information may be conveyed in the form of unstructured text. Unstructured text has the drawback in that it cannot be processed automatically and therefore requires human intervention. Alternatively, the specific information requirements can be implemented using information elements that extend the core invoice model. Any such extension needs to respect the semantic definitions in the core invoice model. Only business partners that are part of such a sector or supply chain would be expected to be able to process the extensions. In these circumstances, it should be possible to define a number of required additional information elements whilst still utilizing the core invoice model concept. In line with Directive 2014/55/EU [1] and after the publication of the reference to this document in the Official Journal of the European Union, all contracting authorities and contracting entities in the EU will be obliged to be able to receive and process an e-invoice as long as it contains all of the (applicable) core elements of an invoice defined in this European Standard (and provided that it is represented in any of the syntaxes identified in the related Technical Specification CEN/TS 16931-2 “List of syntaxes that comply with EN 16931-1” in accordance with the request referred to in paragraph 1 of article 3 of the Directive 2014/55/EU. The inclusion of any additional information which is not contained in the core model will be at the sender’s discretion and contained in unstructured text or in an extension, by agreement with the contracting entity. The inclusion of any extension in an e-invoice will be optional, and it will not form an integral part of the European Standard. See Clause 4 below for further detail on extensions. By ensuring semantic 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 various national rules and standards – and thus contribute to the goals set by the European Commission.

EN 16931-1:2017 (E) 8 1 Scope This European Standard establishes a semantic data model of the core elements of an electronic invoice. The semantic model includes only the essential information elements that an electronic invoice needs to ensure legal (including fiscal) compliance and to enable interoperability for cross-border, cross sector and for domestic trade. The semantic model may be used by organizations in the private and the public sector for public procurement invoicing. It may also be used for invoicing between private sector enterprises. It has not been specifically designed for invoicing consumers. This European Standard complies at least with the following criteria: — it is technologically neutral; — it is compatible with relevant international standards on electronic invoicing; — the application of this standard should comply with the requirements for the protection of personal data of Directive 95/46/EC, having due regard to the principles of privacy and data protection by-design, data minimization, purpose limitation, necessity and proportionality; — it is consistent with the relevant provisions of Directive 2006/112/EC [2]; — it allows for the establishment of practical, user-friendly, flexible and cost-efficient electronic invoicing systems; — it takes into account the special needs of small and medium-sized enterprises as well as of sub-central contracting authorities and contracting entities; — it is suitable for use in commercial transactions between enterprises. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
