About

BASIC is a subset of EN 16931 that still has invoice lines. It suits simple invoices.

Two layers are checked: the profile schema, then the profile's Schematron rules with their code lists.

Good to know

  • In the validator you can drop the PDF itself: its XML attachment is opened and the profile picked from its specification identifier. So do the API and the command-line client. Rules run only when the document matches the schema.
  • The schemas, rules, code lists and example come from the akretion/factur-x library, which ships the official files unchanged.

The validator loads all of these with their folder structure, so includes and imports resolve as published.

Business rules

Schematron · run in this order

The rules run after the schema check, only when the document matches the schema, and in your browser like the schema check (with SaxonJS by Saxonica). Each finding names its rule, such as BR-CO-15, and the line it points at; each rule has a page with what it checks.

In CI and from code

The same schema by its name, factur-x-basic, through the API.

npx @xmlvalid/cli validate "**/*.xml" --schema factur-x-basic
- uses: xmlvalid/validate-action@v1
  with:
    files: "**/*.xml"
    schema: factur-x-basic
    api-key: ${{ secrets.XMLVALID_API_KEY }}
curl https://xmlvalid.com/api/v1/validations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $XMLVALID_API_KEY" \
  -F document={{ $schema->example ?? 'document.xml' }} -F schema=factur-x-basic

Free accounts get 100 API validations a month. On Pro, a URL monitor can check a published document against this schema every hour and email you when it breaks. More CI setups
