EN16931 Validation artefacts v.1.3.13

[SemikolonDEV]

Please provide EN16931 Validation artefacts v.1.3.13 (https://github.com/ConnectingEurope/eInvoicing-EN16931/releases/tag/validation-1.3.13)

@SemikolonDEV the implementation of version 1.3.13 is planned for the next Bugfix Release (no set date, yet, probably around February)

@bdewein the effective date for EN16931 Validation artefacts v.1.3.13 is 15th of November 2024.
Does this make KoSIT validation using its latest validator-configuration non-compliant?

@melo0187 to the best of my knowledge the EN 16931 validation artefacts don't provide a "use from" or "use until" date. This should be stated in the release: https://github.com/ConnectingEurope/eInvoicing-EN16931/releases/tag/validation-1.3.13

But e.g. Peppol provides "not before" dates with their validation artefacts.

@phax thank you for replying!

I was just wondering, because in the EN 16931 release schedule it states:

Effective date: the date when compliant implementations of EN 16931 shall have the new version in operation.

This would mean that all implementations that do not yet use version 1.3.13 of the artifacts by their effective date would no longer be considered compliant with the standard 🤔

Ah thanks - I wasn't aware of that list. The table indeed seems to be relevant. Leading it to the XRechnung authors to respond on the details.

As the intent of the EN website is not 100% clear, reaching out to the EC will be necessary, to make sure that a joint understanding is reached.
In previous releases, it also deemed to be useful to not always use the latest version, due to breaking changes (and the EC not using semantic versioning for their rules).

So please stay tuned - it may take some time until an agreement is reached (especially due to the year-end season coming up)
