E-invoicing

CII

CII (Cross Industry Invoice) is a UN/CEFACT XML syntax for invoices, one of the two ways an EN 16931 invoice can be expressed.

CII is the syntax used inside ZUGFeRD and Factur-X files. Like UBL, it maps the same EN 16931 data model, just with a different set of XML tags.

Because ZUGFeRD is so common in Germany, CII shows up on a large share of German e-invoices even though the person handling them may never see the XML.

Cortena reads CII data from hybrid and structured invoices as part of normal intake.

Stop translating invoices into ledger entries by hand

Cortena codes every line to your chart of accounts, cost centre and VAT key, then exports a booking-ready batch to DATEV. See it on your own invoices.
