I'm leaving this link here regarding the "EU e-invoicing standard CEN 16931"

https://ec.europa.eu/digital-building-blocks/sites/display/D...

I don't know how complicated or easy it would be to just create templates which satisfy this.

In Germany it's already required for B2B transactions [0]

  In principle, the following formats will comply with CEN 16931:
  ZUGFeRD: Hybrid format: Human-readable PDF/A-3 with an embedded XML file in the syntax "Cross-Industry Invoice" (CII)
  XRechnung: XML file in the syntax "Cross-Industry Invoice" (CII)
  XRechnung: XML file in the "Universal Business Language" (UBL) syntax

You can use AI to convert your PDF invoice into XRechnung to comply with EN 16931 should that occur, e.g., https://www.invoice-converter.com/en

There was never really a strong European identity, but Trump/Vance/Musk single-handedly managed to create a pan-European, anti-American movement with commercial implications, e.g., buyeuropean.io

It doesn’t seem to be EU-mandated? Only Italy and Belgium have it mandatory, according to [0], in other countries it’s only relevant for B2G.

Outside that Wikipedia entry, I have also heard nothing about it becoming required in Germany (we are mainly B2C, but do some B2B and B2G), here we are instead moving forward with X-Rechnung/ZUGFeRD/Factur-X, which is an XML standard that can also be embedded in PDFs, and doesn’t require certification or anything.

And for XRechnung, we luckily have AI-converters that take your existing PDF invoice and reliably convert it into XML without a need to change existing tools or workflows: https://www.invoice-converter.com/en

There's also now a requirement for machine readable invoices coming (XRechnung/ZUGFeRD/X-Fractur)

Luckily, there are AI-converters for that: https://www.invoice-converter.com/en
