E-Invoice Mandate Lint - EU 2026

Runs the same checker as the npm package @readystack/einvoice-mandate-lint on a Node.js runtime that pip installs for you (nodejs-wheel-binaries) - no system Node.js needed. Your files are checked locally.

Lints UBL and CII invoice XML against EN 16931 and the national e-invoicing mandates that are live in 2026

Install

einvoice-mandate-lint file

Node 18+. The same 35 rules as the VS Code extension, from a terminal or CI.

Free

• Lint the invoice XML you have open - every EN 16931 core field plus the country mandate rules its CustomizationID and seller country select, reported with line numbers.
• --rules lists every rule

With a licence ($29 once)

• Scan every invoice XML in the workspace in one pass and export the findings as JSON, CSV or SARIF you keep and run in CI.

@readystack/einvoice-mandate-lint --dir ./templates --report html --out report.html
