VINvoice

VINvoice is a usage convention for invoices that follow EN 16931, such as Factur-X and ZUGFeRD, XRechnung and Peppol BIS Billing. It is not a new XML format. The vehicle identification number goes into the line object identifier BT-128 with the UNTDID 1153 scheme AKG. Every other vehicle fact is one item-attribute row (BG-32), named Label [key] and holding a plain value: an ISO date, an integer without separators or a lower-case token. A marker row vehicle.specificationId = vehicle/1.0 makes the line a vehicle line. Invoices that follow the convention remain valid EN 16931 invoices, so no format owner has to change anything.
