Python package using Pydantic models to generate FacturX-compliant documents

Project description

PyFactX

PyFactX is a Python library that leverages Pydantic models to generate fully compliant Factur-X (EN 16931) e-invoices. This library generates a structured XML file, suitable for machine processing, which can then be embedded in a hybrid PDF A/3 electronic invoice for full compliance with the European e-invoicing standards.


✨ Features

  • ✅ Full support for EN 16931 compliant Factur-X invoices
  • 📦 Clean and robust Pydantic models for structured invoice data
  • 🧾 Generates Factur-X-compliant XML from Python dictionaries or Pydantic models
  • 🇪🇺 Compatible with European e-invoicing standards
  • 📄 Can be easily embedded into PDF invoices (e.g., via facturelibre)

📦 Installation

pip install pyfactx

✅ Compliance

PyFactX aims for full compliance with the following:

  • Factur-X MINIMUM, BASIC_WL, BASIC AND EN16931 invoice profiles
  • Schematron validation support
