Why these defaults?
The country code comes from ISO 3166. Unicode CLDR supplies presentation-oriented locale, currency, paper, date, language, calendar, numbering, and direction metadata. Defaults reduce setup time; they do not decide what a valid document must contain.
Recorded official or regional-official language tags: es.
Limited guidance reviewed
Document vocabulary and checks
DIAN sources support the cited electronic-sales-invoice vocabulary, identifiers, visible particulars and authority-system boundary. This printable Factura is not DIAN-generated or validated and does not perform registration, numbering authorization, signing, XML generation, QR/CUFE creation or submission. Record retention is not yet evidenced here, so this pack remains partial; transaction, sector and document-specific requirements remain separate checks.
Evidence snapshot: 3 official sources · last reviewed 2026-07-19. This is scoped guidance, not a jurisdiction-wide compliance certification.
Tax labels: IVA. Business identifier labels: Número de Identificación Tributaria (NIT).
- Required when applicable: When a Colombian electronic sales invoice is required, DIAN's current framework identifies seller and purchaser, NIT or applicable buyer identity, authorised consecutive numbering, goods or services, payment and tax information, total, QR verification, and CUFE among the relevant data. Resolution 000227 of 23 September 2025 is the current compiled electronic-invoicing baseline; do not rely on Resolution 0030 of 2019 alone.Evidence CO_DIAN_EINVOICE_NORMATIVITY, CO_DIAN_RESOLUTION_227_2025, CO_DIAN_IDENTIFY_EINVOICE · reviewed 2026-07-19 · review by 2027-01-19 · automation advisory only
