summary: EN 16931 e-invoice validation and generation.
description: 'Validate an invoice against EN 16931 and its national CIUS rules (XRechnung, Peppol BIS 3) and get back errors that teach the regulation: every failure carries the official rule id, the business term it constrains, what the rule requires, and how to fix it. Invoices go in and come out in both EN 16931 syntaxes, UBL 2.1 and UN/CEFACT CII; the profile chooses the syntax on generate, and on validate the document''s root element does. The `facturx-en16931` profile is checked against core EN 16931 only — there are no Factur-X-specific rules. PDF: Factur-X and ZUGFeRD files are CII XML inside a PDF/A-3 container. POST /v1/validate and POST /v1/parse open one sent as `application/pdf`, on every plan, and read the XML attached to it; /v1/validate also reports on the PDF. Of the PDF itself, the attachment (its name, /AFRelationship and MIME type) and the XMP metadata are checked, and each problem is an AW-PDF-* finding, none of them fatal; PDF/A conformance itself, and whether the page agrees with the XML, are not checked. The API builds one in exactly one case, profile `facturx-en16931`: a Factur-X / ZUGFeRD PDF (EN 16931 profile), a page drawn from the invoice, written as PDF/A-3B, with the CII embedded as `factur-x.xml` — watermarked as a preview on the free plan, and without the watermark on a paid plan. `POST /v1/generate?format=pdf` returns it, `POST /v1/bundle?format=pdf` puts it in an evidence bundle beside the XML and a signed validation report, and `POST /v1/send` with `"format": "pdf"` e-mails it. Every other invoice the API writes is XML. Sending: `POST /v1/send` e-mails one invoice to one address on request; the API does not operate Peppol or French-platform transmission.'

description: 'Present when POST /v1/validate or POST /v1/parse (or /v1/bundle, or /v1/send''s `document`) was sent a document that could not be read and the engine''s reader raised an error. It is that reader''s own stable code, echoed unchanged, and it is finer-grained than `error`: a whole family of well-formedness defects shares `error: "xml_malformed"` and each member carries its own `xml_code`. For a PDF the reader is the PDF one, and the codes start `pdf_` or `facturx_` — the name of the field predates PDFs. Absent when the file was recognised on sight as something else (an HTML page, a ZIP archive), where the reader raised nothing. The list below is a sample, not the full set, and it is deliberately open — the reader gains codes as it learns to refuse more, and a caller that switches exhaustively on this field will break when it does. Branch on `error` first and on this only if you need the detail.'
