What this means for you
For Swedish public procurements begun on or after April 1, 2019, suppliers must issue structured e-invoices and public authorities must receive them. Statutory secrecy and security exceptions apply, and the parties may agree another structured standard; there is no general B2B or B2C mandate.
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.

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
