Order-X is a hybrid format for orders based on the EU’s norm EN 16931 and developed by a joint Franco-German group to facilitate a seamless process from order to invoicing. It is structured according to the United Nations UN / CEFACT Supply Chain Reference Data Model (SCRDM). You can choose between three profiles: Basic, Comfort, and Extended.
The Order-X format mirrors the electronic invoice format of Factur-X and uses the same data set. Both formats are hybrid, i.e., they consist of an XML file embedded in a PDF/A-3. The result is a single, secure, human- and machine-readable option.
