[Daniel Pocock]

package: postbooks
version: 4.0.2-4
severity: wishlist


There are various schemes available for generating and/or parsing
machine-readable business documents such as purchase orders and invoices

Supporting one or more of these schemes could reduce the effort for
manual data entry

cXML:

- quite a heavyweight solution

There are also country-specific schemes, e.g. Mexico has adopted an XML
invoicing schema under a program called CFDI
