How to view a RO e-Factura or RO_CIUS XML invoice
RO e-Factura documents are structured XML intended for the national exchange system and accounting software. The raw syntax is precise for machines but difficult for a quick human review.
From difficult file to readable document.
- 01
Keep the downloaded XML
Save the original invoice and any separate response or signature files. Do not overwrite the source with a transformed copy.
- 02
Open the invoice locally
Select the XML in EU Document Opener. Supported UBL/CII and RO_CIUS declarations are detected on your device.
- 03
Check the readable fields
Review parties, identifiers, dates, currency, invoice lines, VAT and totals, then retain the official source for accounting and submission records.
RO_CIUS adds Romanian usage rules
RO_CIUS is the Romanian core invoice usage specification derived from the European e-invoicing model. It defines national use of invoice elements and rules beyond a generic XML syntax.
A viewer can recognise supported declarations without claiming that every national rule has been passed.
An invoice and a system response are different files
Submission portals may provide acknowledgements, status messages or signed archives alongside the invoice. Preserve those records separately; a readable invoice rendering is not proof of acceptance.
Use the PDF as a convenience copy
A PDF can help internal review, but the original XML remains important for machine processing, tax records and any legally required archive.

Questions about this file type.
Is RO e-Factura XML the same as a PDF invoice?
No. It is structured invoice data. A PDF is only a human-readable representation unless an applicable workflow says otherwise.
Does the app connect to SPV or ANAF?
No. You select a file already on your device; the app does not log in to or submit data to government systems.
Can it certify RO_CIUS compliance?
No. Detection and readable rendering do not replace official validation or accounting checks.
