Request batching

The Invoice/CreditNote Request aligns with the UBL 2.4 Invoice schema. For sending multiple document requests in a single submission, a batching approach is employed through an extension, as batching is not directly supported by the UBL 2.4 Invoice schema.

Batch request header

Each batch request includes a unique batch ID and the total number of invoice or credit note requests contained in the file. This setup facilitates the efficient processing and tracking of batched submissions.

Details

Element	Description	Example
batchID	The unique identifier for the batch file.	Batch-001
documentCount	The total number of document requests in the batch.	500

Batch invoice request example XML

The following XML snippet demonstrates the structure of a batched invoice request:

<RequestBatch xmlns:inv="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:Invoice-2"
               xmlns:cn="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CreditNote-2"
               xmlns:cac="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonAggregateComponents-2"
               xmlns:cbc="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonBasicComponents-2"
               xmlns:ext="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonExtensionComponents-2"
               batchID="Batch-001"
               documentCount="500">
    <inv:Invoice>
        <!-- Invoice data -->
    </inv:Invoice>
    <inv:Invoice>
        <!-- Invoice data -->
    </inv:Invoice>
    <!-- Repeat as necessary for each invoice in the batch -->
</RequestBatch>
