  • Electronic Invoices – State of the Union?

    Posted by Uwe Smidt on December 20, 2024 at 1:38 pm

    Dear $all,
    is there any support from the mothership Omnis, or any shared frameworks from the community, to deal with the issue of electronic invoicing (Zugferd, X-Rechnung, DIRECTIVE 2014/55/EU, Mustang, etc) in regard to creating, reading and verifying?

    Of course, we are all happy to code, but re-inventing the wheel is not always the most efficient way use our precious time…

    Any thoughts or even contributions are very welcome!

    Best regards

    Uwe

    Hi Uwe,

    habe in vor einigen Jahren da etwas gemacht auf OMNIS Basis. War aufwendig, da OMNIS XML damals zumindest nicht immer konform gearbeitet hat und Funktionen /Work arounds mühsam waren.

    Mache heute einiges mit anderen AI basierten platformen. Kann ich aber sicher in OMNIS einbinden.

    Melde Dich bei Interesse…

    I use Omnis iv_XMLObj for the PEPPOL standard.

    1. Create a iv_XMLObj

    2. Define a list

    3. Populate the list

    Do pv_LIST.$add(‘3004′;’5′;’cbc:Name’)

    Do pv_LIST.$add(‘3008′;’6’;pv_OWN_DATA.CO_NAME)

    4. And then load the list into this XML object

    Do iv_XMLObj.$loadlist(lv_LIST;errorText)

    Hey guys,
    Finally. some life in this matter – which should be relevant to everyone in the EU – but maybe to a different extent.

    So there does not seem to be a common framework to be used, as I understand only the XML Object.

    Luckily, for me there is currently no urgent need to implement this, but I’d be happy to keep this thread alive with common approaches.

    Thank you, guys!

    Best regards

    Uwe

      All e-invoice formats should be “standard”, but many companies does not accept any standards and add some extra stuff or change it to fit their needs. A framework is harder to alter to fit the non-standard world. XML object is AFAIK 100 percent flexible IMO.
