EN 16931 semantic data model mapping from Business Central posted document, VAT, currency and payment-term tables into the structured XML

This is a build-to-order Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central extension that adds hybrid Factur-X and ZUGFeRD e-invoicing to your finance workflows ahead of the French (Réforme de la facturation électronique) and German (B2B e-Rechnung) mandates. ECOSIRE writes it in AL, installs it as a per-tenant extension on your Business Central environment (cloud SaaS or on-prem), and supports it after go-live. It is not an instant AppSource download — we build it to fit your posting groups, document layouts and number series, then deploy and validate it with you.
How it works
When you post and print a Sales Invoice or Sales Credit Memo, an event subscriber on the document report hooks the output and produces a PDF/A-3 file with embedded CII XML conforming to EN 16931. The XML is mapped from BC's posted document tables (Sales Invoice Header/Line, VAT entries, Currency, Payment Terms) into the chosen profile — BASIC, EN 16931, or EXTENDED — for Factur-X (France) or ZUGFeRD 2.x (Germany). A page extension on the Posted Sales Invoice exposes the profile selector, validation status and a "Generate / Regenerate" action; a table extension stores the generated payload and submission metadata.
Outbound files are prepared for Chorus Pro / PDP (Plateforme de Dématérialisation Partenaire) submission readiness in France and EN 16931 compliance in Germany. Inbound hybrid invoices are parsed back into Business Central — the embedded XML is read and mapped to a Purchase Invoice draft for AP review. Generation can run interactively or be scheduled via the Job Queue for batch runs, and everything is gated behind a dedicated permission set.
We scope the exact mapping, run a pilot batch against your real documents, and hand over documentation. You own the source.
What you get
- A per-tenant Business Central extension (.app) authored in AL, installed on your sandbox then production environment
- Full AL source code and the AppSource-style app manifest, handed over to you — you own it
- Configured profile defaults (BASIC / EN 16931 / EXTENDED) and field mapping matched to your posting groups and document layouts
- Dedicated permission set plus assignment guidance for your finance and AP roles
- A validated pilot run: sample outbound Factur-X/ZUGFeRD files and at least one inbound parse against your real documents
- Setup and operations documentation covering generation, Job Queue scheduling, regeneration and inbound handling
- Post-deployment support window and a defined channel for fixes, BC-update compatibility checks and mandate-driven changes
Who this is for
French Finance Manager preparing for the réforme
Runs AR for a French SME and needs compliant Factur-X output ready to flow through a PDP / Chorus Pro before the e-invoicing mandate, without ripping out Business Central.
German AP / AR accountant facing the e-Rechnung mandate
Must issue and receive EN 16931 / ZUGFeRD-compliant B2B invoices, and wants inbound hybrid invoices parsed straight into Purchase Invoice drafts rather than re-keyed.
Business Central administrator / IT lead
Owns the tenant and wants a clean per-tenant extension built on event subscribers — no base-app modifications — that survives Microsoft's update cadence and is scoped by permission sets.

Frequently Asked Questions about Factur-X / ZUGFeRD E-Invoicing for Business Central (France/Germany)
+How long does delivery take, and is this an AppSource download?
It is not an instant AppSource download. ECOSIRE builds the extension to order in AL and installs it as a per-tenant extension on your environment. Typical lead time is about 2 to 4 weeks from kickoff, depending on how many document layouts, profiles and the inbound flow you need. We scope the mapping first, build on a sandbox, then deploy to production after a validated pilot.
+What support and updates do I get after go-live?
The build includes a post-deployment support window for fixes and questions. Because the extension uses event subscribers and no base-app changes, it is resilient to Business Central updates; we run compatibility checks against Microsoft's major releases and can adjust the XML mapping as the French PDP rules and German e-Rechnung specifications evolve, under an ongoing support arrangement.
+Does this submit directly to Chorus Pro or a PDP automatically?
The extension produces submission-ready, schema-validated payloads structured for a Plateforme de Dématérialisation Partenaire and for Chorus Pro. Direct API push to a specific PDP can be added as part of the build once you have selected your provider; the core delivery focuses on generating and validating the compliant Factur-X / ZUGFeRD file.
+Will it work on Business Central cloud (SaaS) and on-premises?
Yes. It is delivered as a per-tenant AL extension that installs on Business Central online (SaaS) and on supported on-premises versions. Inbound parsing, Job Queue batch generation and Azure Blob / DMS storage options are all available in both, with the mapping aligned to your existing posting setup.
+Which profiles and invoice types are covered?
BASIC, EN 16931 (the comply profile), and EXTENDED for both Factur-X and ZUGFeRD 2.x. Sales Invoices and Sales Credit Memos are covered out of the build; other document types can be added. Multi-currency and your existing VAT posting setup are honored so the structured XML matches your books.
