EDI Manager

The EDI Manager is a Rust-based system for integrating MoneyWorks (MW) accounting software with the Peppol/Edimondo e-invoicing and e-ordering network. It automates the import, export, and processing of invoices and orders between Moneyworks and Edimondo using UBL (Universal Business Language) XML documents.

Technical documentation

Key features:

  • MW Transaction Export: Extracts transactions from Moneyworks, builds UBL XML documents using JSON templates, and exports them to Edimondo.
  • MW Transaction Reprocessing: Supports reprocessing of transactions based on status and colour flags.
  • Edimondo Status Checking: Checks the delivery status of sent documents and updates MW/DB accordingly.
  • Order Import: Retrieves orders from Edimondo, parses UBL XML, and imports them into MW.
  • Configurable: Uses TOML configuration files for server, business, and email settings.
  • Logging: Logs operations and errors to rotating log files.
  • Utilities: Provides date/time formatting, file writing, and folder setup functions.

Main modules:

  • mw_to_ubl.rs: MW → UBL/Edimondo export logic.
  • ubl_to_mw.rs: Edimondo → MW import logic.
  • mw.rs: MW API communication.
  • edimondo.rs: Edimondo API communication.
  • invoice.rs, order.rs: UBL document construction and parsing.
  • export.rs, operations.rs: MW transaction and detail handling.
  • db.rs: Database operations for exports/imports.
  • config.rs: Configuration management.
  • utilities.rs: Utility functions.

Entry point:

main.rs calls `start_server` which runs the main service loop.

Data flow:

Moneyworks transactions are exported, transformed to UBL XML, sent to Edimondo, and their status is tracked. Incoming orders from Edimondo are parsed and imported into Moneyworks.

Config files:

  • config.toml for settings
  • control_file.txt for last modified timestamps
  • JSON templates for UBL documents in templates

For more details, see the main service logic in lib.rs and mw_to_ubl.rs
