Samples¶
Receiving e-Invoice information leads to the following,
- The incoming XML is transformed to a schema called IFSEinvoice. This schema is an external schema but with a few modifications for IFS e-Invoice functionality.
- The XML according to the IFSEinvoice schema is transformed to an internal receive e-invoice XML schema, for further processing.
The zip file ReceiveEInvoiceSamples contains,
- IFSEinvoice.xml
- IFSEinvoice.xsd
- IFSReceiveEinvoice.xml
- IFSReceiveEinvoice.xsd
