![Persons Pointing at the Numbers on the Invoice](https://discuss-cdn.tryton.org/uploads/default/original/2X/d/d3ea9348fd1afa8d5dabb10a18378ffa2f60814e.jpeg "Photo: Pexels, Kindel Media") ## Proposal In Europe many countries start to require to send e-invoice. Many countries have chosen [UBL format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Business_Language) as standard (or one of the standard). For example many [Peppol](https://peppol.org/) service providers are based on UBL. We propose to write a module `edocument_ubl` to generate UBL Invoice-2 file for the customer invoices (like `edocument_uncefact` does for UN/CEFACT). And a second module `document_incoming_ubl` to create supplier invoice based on UBL Invoice-2 file. The coverage will be restricted to the minimum required by the standard and to the concepts already present in Tryton. The version will be [2.3](http://docs.oasis-open.org/ubl/os-UBL-2.3/UBL-2.3.html) but we will try to be as much flexible to support any version as incoming document. This will be the base to [Add support for Peppol](https://discuss.tryton.org/t/add-support-for-peppol/8401) (but service providers connection is not included in this proposal) ## Budget We have estimated the effort to 6 days of development. For B2CK this means a budget of **3000€** (without VAT). The budget will be divided in equal parts between the contributors. _Contributors may add an upper limit (minimum: **200€** ) to their contribution in case there are not enough contributors. For that they will just need to post a message with their limit (so others may anticipate their costs)._ ## Contributors _Poll ([view on site](https://discuss.tryton.org/t/sponsoring-ubl-invoice-2/8529/1))_ ## Implementation - [Add edocument\_ubl module (!2632) · Merge requests · Tryton / Tryton · GitLab](https://foss.heptapod.net/tryton/tryton/-/merge_requests/2632) ---

It is necessary to have a standard module. ---

I wonder wether m-ds did (or will) publish this existing module and whether it could be integrated into Tryton as a standard module. ---

Hi, I’d like to talk to Jakob Fischer about this project first, to see if the planned features for the German market are what he envisions. Unfortunately, we haven’t had the chance yet. [Next page](https://discuss.tryton.org/t/sponsoring-ubl-invoice-2/8529.md?page=2)
