UBL

UBL stands for Universal Business Language

UBL is an XML syntax for many different business documents, among others invoices and credit notes. E-Invoice-EU currently only supports invoices.

The format is well documented by Peppol at https://docs.peppol.eu/poacc/billing/3.0/syntax/ubl-invoice/.

Clicking on an element name opens the documentation for the element. If the name of an element begins with cac:, it has subelements. If the name starts with cbc: it is the name of a leaf element. It makes sense to get familiar with this documentation because the Peppol UBL invoice structure is also the basis for the internal invoice format of E-Invoice-EU.
