Hello Groza Sorry this is another detailed Email, Regarding e-invoicing or e-factura. Yes this will be very helpful, because it is already adapted by many countries, And soon will be widely used. The main good thing that can be of help is 1. Mapping the ofbiz Invoices to XML Invoice. 2. Making the connector as configurable as possible, because it will be different for each Authority of Country. 3. It will be nice if the information about e-invoicing collected from different countries. 4. also many new IT companies have little knowledge about the e-invoicing and it will consume time to understand it, So if ofbiz will offer that for them it will be nicer.
