CII CrossIndustryInvoice — Factur-X 1.0 BASIC, valid (standalone XML)

Name: CII CrossIndustryInvoice — Factur-X 1.0 BASIC, valid (standalone XML) — CII D16B (CrossIndustryInvoice) sample file
Creator: ValidateFin
License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

The Factur-X / ZUGFeRD payload on its own: the CII XML that normally travels embedded in a PDF/A-3, here as a standalone file you can validate directly. Profile BASIC (BT-24 = urn:cen.eu:en16931:2017#compliant#urn:factur-x.eu:1p0:basic) is an EN 16931-compliant CIUS — full invoice lines, a complete VAT breakdown and the six document totals. Useful for testing an extractor against the XML alone, without a PDF in the way.

How we know these results hold

Every file in this library is run through the site's own validator on each build. The expected result stated above is asserted by an automated test — if a file stopped matching what this page claims, the build would fail. Two inherited fixtures were repaired this way before publication: three IBANs failed the mod-97 check and several names used characters outside the basic SEPA character set.
