Europe has finally launched an e-invoice validation service, dedicated to the validation of invoices that follow the CEF eInvoicing specifications, notably the UBL 2.1 and Cross Industry Invoice (CII) syntaxes.
For in depth documentation they refer to: https://ec.europa.eu/cefdigital/wiki/display/CEFDIGITAL/eInvoicing.
The validation service is provided through three interfaces:
- A web interface, at: http://isaitb2.northeurope.cloudapp.azure.com/invoice/upload. (Or : http://13.80.11.48:8000/invoice/upload.)
Validation through web form upload is provided to all users (i.e. via anonymous access) through the above link. Once a UBL invoice is uploaded, it is validated and a detailed report is presented to the user that can be downloaded (in GITB TRL format) and cross-checked against the submitted content.
. - A SOAP web service (GITB-compliant validation service) at: http://isaitb2.northeurope.cloudapp.azure.com/invoice/api/validation?wsdl. (Or: http://13.80.11.48:8000/invoice/api/validation?wsdl.)
An invoice can be validated via web service call to a GITB-compliant content validation service. To facilitate use of the web service, a relevant SOAP UI test case is provided in B4InvoiceValidation-soapui-project.xml
. - Email by sending invoices as attachments to [email protected].
Validation of invoices via email is enabled by emailing one or more invoices as attachments to the email address. Once validation is completed a reply is returned with an overview of the validation as the email body and the detailed validation reports (in GITB TRL format) as attachments.
Find out more and follow this service in the GITB Test Registry and Repository (TRR).
UPDATE: Philip Helger mentioned that validation is subject to change, so it is wise to also use his validation service at: http://peppol.helger.com
