Pure CII XML, Booked as a Credit

When a system asks for the raw credit note XML rather than a hybrid PDF, this generator writes exactly that file.

Standalone CII Output

The generator writes a pure UN/CEFACT CII (D16B) document with type code 381, the same XML that sits inside a Factur-X credit note, without the PDF around it.

Corrected Invoice Referenced

The number and date of the invoice being credited (BG-3) have dedicated fields, so accounts payable can match the credit against the original automatically.

EN 16931 Validated

Schema and Schematron checks run before download, so the file passes the same rules a Plateforme Agreee or ERP import applies on receipt.

Ready for the Hybrid Formats

Need the PDF version later? Embed the same XML into a PDF/A-3 to obtain a Factur-X or ZUGFeRD credit note without retyping anything.

How It Works

From the corrected invoice to a valid CII credit note in three steps.

Step 1

Enter Parties and the Reference

Fill in seller and buyer as on the original invoice, plus the number and date of the invoice being credited.

Step 2

List the Credited Items

Add the credited goods or services with quantities, prices, and VAT rates; totals compute themselves.

Step 3

Download the CII XML

Review the summary and download a standalone UN/CEFACT CII credit note, validated against EN 16931.
