What this means for you
Bulgaria has no supplier B2G, B2B or B2C e-invoicing mandate. Since November 1, 2019, public-sector entities must receive and process EN 16931 invoices for covered public-procurement contracts; suppliers may submit them voluntarily.
What FreeBillGen can verify
For eligible saved invoices, FreeBillGen can prepare generic OASIS UBL and UN/CEFACT CII mappings and run its named internal checks. These mappings are not EN 16931, Factur-X, Peppol, national-CIUS or clearance-platform validation. FreeBillGen does not transmit them through a provider network.
Check this route in Invoice PassportThe free Inbox can manually parse selected UBL/CII supplier files for review. Syntax recognition is not profile validation; manual upload is not a Peppol or government-network receiving endpoint and does not by itself satisfy a receive obligation. Open manual upload
