Overview: Introduction to the Customer

Their invoicing needs are country-specific, with each region utilizing different XML formats. This makes PDF-to-XML conversion a core function in their workflow. ProjectPlace relies heavily on our automated PDF conversion service to ensure that invoices and credit notes are processed quickly and accurately—tailored to the regional formats such as BISV3, HUBXML, and OIOUBL.

The Challenge: Managing Multi-Country Mapping and File Formats

ProjectPlace required a flexible solution to accommodate the diverse invoicing standards of three separate countries. Each country used a different XML format and invoicing structure. Additionally, supplier invoices arrived in PDF format, which had to be converted based on country-specific requirements:

 

  • Denmark: OIOUBL, HUBXML, BISV3
  • Norway: BISV3
  • Sweden: HUBXML and BISV3

 

The challenge was to manage this variety in document formats and ensure accurate, automated mapping and conversion for each country. Without automation, the manual handling of PDF invoices would have led to slower processing, increased errors, and scalability issues.

The Solution: Customized PDF to XML Conversion Services

To address these challenges, we implemented a robust and flexible PDF conversion platform tailored to ProjectPlace’s multi-country needs. The core of the solution is designed around:

 

  1. IMAP Gateway Integration: Each country has its own dedicated IMAP gateway. ProjectPlace sends PDF invoices and credit notes to the relevant country-specific gateway. The system then automatically processes each document according to the country’s invoicing standards.
  2. Dynamic PDF-to-XML Conversion: The platform identifies the file format requirements based on the country and trading partner. PDF files are automatically converted to the appropriate XML structure:
      • Denmark: PDF to HUBXML or OIOUBL
      • Norway: PDF to BISV3
      • Sweden: PDF to HUBXML or BISV3
  3. Real-Time Mapping Adjustments: If ProjectPlace encounters any issues with mapping or formatting, we provide real-time support and adjust the mappings as needed. This ensures that the service is always aligned with their evolving requirements and compliance needs.
