E-Foli

efoli is a Python package, that contains

• an Enum EdifactFormat that models EDIFACT formats used by German utilities like, e.g.
  • UTILMD
  • MSCONS
  • INVOIC
  • …
• an Enum EdifactFormatVersion that models validity periods of different message versions, e.g.
  • FV2310 is valid from 2023-10-01 onwards
  • FV2404 is valid from 2024-04-03 onwards
  • …
• helper methods that allow
  • to derive the EdifactFormat from a given Prüfidentifikator (e.g. 55001➡UTILMD)
  • that derive the EdifactFormatVersion from a given date(time) (e.g. 2024-01-01➡FV2310)

It's not much, but we need it at many places. This is why we use this package as a central place to define these formats and versions.
