UBL 2.1 · PEPPOL BIS 3.0 · EN 16931 pre-flight validation

Fiscalane exports files. It is not a Peppol access point and is not certified by any authority.

The problem

A PDF that looks right can still be rejected

Buyers and public bodies increasingly process invoices automatically. Their systems read structured data, not the picture of a document.

What goes wrong

  • A buyer reference or order reference is missing, so the invoice cannot be routed.
  • A tax category says exempt but no exemption reason is given.
  • Line amounts and the totals differ by a rounding cent.
  • A VAT identifier lacks its country prefix, or an IBAN has a typo.

What Fiscalane does about it

  • Shows each failing rule with its id next to the field that causes it.
  • Calculates line, VAT and invoice totals with EN 16931 rounding.
  • Blocks UBL export while errors remain, so a broken file is never produced.
  • Keeps one set of invoice data for the PDF and the e-invoice.

How it works

From blank page to e-invoice in three steps

  1. 1

    Create

    Fill in seller, buyer and lines. Start from a template for your trade, or from scratch. Your draft is autosaved in your browser.

  2. 2

    Check

    The compliance panel lists rule failures and warnings while you type, each with its rule id and a jump to the field.

  3. 3

    Export

    Download a PDF for any customer, or a validated UBL e-invoice file for customers and networks that need structured data.

Arithmetic that reconciles

Line nets, VAT per category and rate, and payable totals computed with exact decimal rounding for each currency.

Validated UBL export

Compliance

A pre-flight check, honestly described

Fiscalane implements a documented subset of the EN 16931 and PEPPOL BIS Billing 3.0 business rules and lists every rule it checks. It catches the mistakes that most often get an invoice rejected.

During development the generated UBL files are also run through the official UBL 2.1 schema and the CEN and Peppol Schematron rule sets on a generated test corpus. That is evidence, not a certification, and a receiver may still apply more checks.

What the check covers

  • Mandatory invoice, seller and buyer fields
  • Tax category rules: rates, exemption reasons, reverse charge identifiers
  • Line and total arithmetic
  • IBAN checksum and VAT identifier formats for known countries
  • Electronic address schemes and the buyer reference required by Peppol BIS
  • Credit notes referencing the invoice they correct

What it does not do

  • It is not the official Schematron and not a certification.
  • It does not send documents over the Peppol network. You need an access point or a buyer portal.
  • It does not decide which tax category or rate applies to you.
  • It is not legal or tax advice.

FAQ

Questions people ask before they trust an invoice tool

Is Fiscalane a Peppol access point?

No. Fiscalane creates invoices and exports files: a PDF, and on the Pro plan a UBL XML file in the Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 format. It does not send documents over the Peppol network. To transmit an invoice through Peppol you need an access point or a buyer portal that accepts file uploads.

Is the export certified or guaranteed to be accepted?

No. Fiscalane runs a documented subset of the EN 16931 and Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 business rules before you export. It is not the official validator and it is not certified by any standards body or tax authority. A recipient or access point may apply further checks.

Do I need an account to create an invoice?

No. You can create an invoice and download a PDF without signing in; your draft is autosaved in your browser. A free account lets you store invoices and clients, and the Pro plan unlocks validated UBL export, PDFs without the Fiscalane footer and unlimited storage.

Which standards does the UBL export follow?

UBL 2.1 invoices and credit notes that use the Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 customization and profile identifiers, built on the EN 16931 semantic data model.

Does Fiscalane work for my EU country?

The UBL export follows Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 / EN 16931. Some countries add further national rules (for example German Leitweg-ID checks). Fiscalane does not decide which tax category or rate applies: you choose it, and the checker flags combinations that contradict each other. Check your national authority for mandate dates.

Does Fiscalane calculate VAT for me?

It calculates line amounts, VAT per category and rate, and the invoice totals from the values you enter, using the rounding rules of EN 16931. It does not look up or choose the correct rate or category for your situation.

Where is my data stored?

Drafts you create without an account are autosaved in your own browser. Invoices and clients saved to an account are stored in Google Cloud Firestore. See the privacy page (currently a draft) for details.
