A delivery note
The note that travels with the goods: a barcode against each article, a box the receiver ticks, and the consignment's own code.
A commercial invoice: letterhead, logo, a billed-lines table, totals, and a QR code that pays it by SEPA transfer.
This is the document the team built the library to make. One page carries a letterhead with a logo, the seller and buyer blocks, a table of billed lines with quantities and unit prices, the totals under it, and a payment block at the foot. The table paginates on its own, so an invoice of forty lines is the same code as an invoice of four.
The code in the payment block is a SEPA credit transfer. A phone's banking application reads it and offers to pay that exact amount into that exact account, so nobody has to retype an IBAN off a screen. The team runs a code reader over the finished page and reads the transfer back, which is how the sample below is checked before it is published.
The same document is written twice, once in each language. Both files are shown in full, with the code coloured on the server, and can be copied in one click.
