Mapping notes for the ubl parser family
Section titled “Mapping notes for the ubl parser family”- Phase 1. Covers: Peppol BIS 3 + self-billing, XRechnung UBL, NLCIUS, CIUS-RO, CIUS-PT, HR-CIUS, OIOUBL 3, UBL.BE, PINT, BIS 2 (best-effort), OIOUBL 2. One parser, profile-specific rules on top. Invoice vs CreditNote element names differ (
