FAQ

What data is required before generating an EU e-invoice?

Seller company identity fields, VAT/address details, Company ID, Electronic Address, scheme fields, and complete customer electronic addressing data should be validated first.

Do we need both Company ID and Electronic Address?

Yes. Both values are part of readiness checks and output construction controls.

Does the customer also need an electronic address and scheme?

Yes. Customer Electronic Address and Customer Electronic Address Scheme are required for reliable generation in supported flows.

What happens if required data is missing?

Generation should fail fast with validation output so teams can correct data before retrying.

Can this module generate downloadable XML files?

Yes. Structured XML files can be generated, downloaded, and archived for review.

Is this the same as ZATCA Compliance?

No. ZATCA is a separate Saudi compliance track and should be managed independently.

Does the module behave differently for Italy, Romania, or Spain?

The supported controller behavior includes country-aware handling branches for these paths.

Who should own seller settings and customer addressing?

Compliance/admin teams should own seller settings, while operations/master-data teams own customer addressing completeness.

How should we test before go-live?

Use pilot customers, generate test XML files by country path, validate with finance/compliance, and document acceptance criteria.

How is this different from general invoicing pages?

This module centers on EU e-invoice data readiness, validation controls, and structured output governance.
