CIUS

What is CIUS (Core Invoice Usage Specification)?

⚠ Machine-translated answer, not yet manually reviewed. For the exact wording, see the Slovak original.

Short answer

CIUS (Core Invoice Usage Specification) is the mechanism by which EN 16931 allows individual countries or sectors to refine the use of the standard — for example, to tighten the cardinality of some data — without changing its data model. CIUS does not introduce a new XML format nor must it conflict with the EN 16931 standard.

The principle

Clarification, not change

CIUS tightens or supplements the use of EN 16931 for a specific country.

Not a new format

XML remains UBL/CII

CIUS does not change the syntactic format, only the data usage rules.

Slovak name

Peppol BIS transpositions

The official document is called something other than "SK CIUS".

An example from abroad

German XRechnung

Different country, different specification, same basis EN 16931.

Conclusion

CIUS is a principle of national specification EN 16931; in Slovakia, it is implemented through the document Transposition of the Peppol BIS standard under the conditions of Slovak legislation, not through the separately named "SK CIUS".
