Factur-X: electronic invoicing standard for Germany & France
Project description
Factur-X Python library
Factur-X is the e-invoicing standard for France and Germany. The Factur-X specifications are available on the FNFE-MPE website.
The main feature of this Python library is to generate Factur-X invoices from a regular PDF invoice and a Factur-X compliant XML file.
This lib provides additionnal features such as:
extract the Factur-X XML file from a Factur-X PDF invoice,
check a Factur-X XML file against the official XML Schema Definition.
Some of the features provided by this lib also work for the ZUGFeRD e-invoicing standard (the ancestor of the Factur-X standard).
Installation
sudo pip install --upgrade factur-x
Usage
from facturx import generate_facturx
facturx_pdf_invoice = generate_facturx(regular_pdf_invoice, facturx_xml_file)
To have more examples, look at the source code of the command line tools located in the bin subdirectory.
